Liverpool Life Sciences UTC Reviews

Teachers are terrible, there is a massive problem in the lack of mental health support and many of the teachers behave worse than the kids! It is a prison and a very highly strict school, very dirty.
Awful school principal acts like she cares about your child but it’s the opposite. Unprofessional and ignore correspondence. Beware
