Easy to climb out off and escape rly nice rate the security of it as they don’t give a shit and slt don’t do anything but one good thing is miss hewit as she’s rly nice so yes I would rate this school-Tyler Beaumont
I dont really like this school because its bad and boring the teachers are bad bullying is bad and. so i mean it is bad over all and everyone hates it
My son has additional needs and he has been very well looked after by the SEN department. The school seems to have an unfair reputation in the local area and I can honestly say that I am happy with everything to do with the school. My son had a difficult time in primary school and now I feel listened to and supported if I an concerned about something.
They need to support us . And also let us know we can talk to adults around us, make us feel safe when we go to school and the homework is way too much over the national level
Bullied here to the point of an overdose, school did nothing to stop it even when I asked for help. My parents had a meeting with the school and they said they’d do thing but did not
