Bullying is tolerated in this school. The victim will be exposed to others then be labelled as a snitch. If you have a child that likes questioning and inquisitive this is definitely not the school as it will be classified as being disruptive to teaching. Communication portal is poor a lot of emails can go unanswered. School will never email regarding child’s positive progress ( only check via app for house points) but you will...
