The teachers are horrible. And since the 2016-2017 school year started, they've literally just over done everything. You can't do anything without getting a detention. My Tutor said she'd beat us with a stick if we brought our stuff when there was a fire drill. My Tutor also said that if we didn't show up for a day, she would come to our house and force us to come to school. Now my new head of house is a complete psycho. He's way too obsessive about being the best as well, which makes it so much harder. There is just so much pressure in Lytchett Minster School. Any little thing you do out of line will literally get you a detention. I went to my locker during lesson time (I had permission from a teacher) and the receptionist in my house office literally gave me a detention. I tried to explain to her, but she just said to come back at lunch. The exams are too much stress as well. One day, you'll have 1 easy exam, but the next you have 5 important exams and then the day after that about 2 exams, so there's literally no time to do anything else. On top of revising, you're supposed to do even more homework to get better grades. They also scream at you the importance of coming to school, which I get, but unless you're like dying then there's pretty much not a valid excuse for not coming in. If you have an appointment, they groan at you and get really annoyed and just say 'Why can't you cancel it and change it for after school or on a weekend?' There's a simple answer for that: THE SOONER THE BETTER!\nLong story short, DON'T SEND ANYONE TO THIS SCHOOL. The teachers a horrible, you're overworked, pretty much depressed, and nothing good ever happens. Don't even consider going to this school. No matter how much they tell you it's a good school, just consider the reviews and the amount of stars this school has been given. As I'm writing this, the rating is 3.2. If you've noticed a pattern from the written reviews, about 4 people saying the same thing at the same time isn't coincidence.

I'm in year 13 now and I'm going to give my honest opinions of what I believe to be, generally, a good school.\nFirstly, be warned, a lot of the reviews of the school on here are written by the sort of students who, if they are bored during an IT lesson or during a study period and they're not doing what there teacher tells them, they'll log onto Google and write a scathing harmful review about how bored they are right now. Its not the case for all of them but I know some of these reviewers and I can tell you first hand, this is not the place to look for reviews (except mine of course).\nThe school itself is beautiful. Incredible architecture and designs for most of the buildings and it is situated in a beautiful part of Britain. The greenery is outstanding and the grounds are kept as well as the nearby Stour Head gardens. I personally think many of the students take this for granted on too many levels as, for me, it is one of the key features.\nThe school itself strives to achieve the best of you. It asses your intellect and, as any good school should, it pushes to get the best out of you that is possible. I teacher is only as good as their student, and I must say, the teaching is excellent. Many of the staff members don't teach their subject areas because they have to, they teach them because they are passionate about the subject and want to spread their knowledge to the next generation.\nThe resources are excellent as well, surprising given the loss in budget that occurred when both of the fires ravaged the school in 00 and 13. Every department has more than enough resources to keep students actively engaged with the subject. For me, the music, photography and media departments are wonderful in the resources front. There is more than enough computers and you can never go too far without one and the IT department runs a tight ship, on the whole, keeping the internet acceptability policy at bay for any issues.\nOverall, the school is a lively, thriving, active community full of eager students wishing to participate. When, however, you do get a silly little kid who doesn't behave this is dealt with accordingly. Unfortunately I've noticed a lot more badly behaved students recently and am hoping the school will crack down on it more in the future.\nI also must state that due to budget concerns and government policies, certain activities, events, subjects etc. are being dwindled and this is of major concern. However, one cannot blame the school, one must blame the government.\nI award the school 4 out of five stars mainly because the carrots in the school cafeteria are cooked terribly. On the whole, \"Caf\" is good but I do feel that the staff are sometimes rather harsh and the food is not cooked to perfection.\nI hope your kids will learn as much in this school as I have as Lytchett Minster certainly prepared me for my future extremely well.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I've been at Lytchett Minster School since I was in Year 9.

The teachers are horrible. And since the 2016-2017 school year started, they've literally just over done everything. You can't do anything without getting a detention. My Tutor said she'd beat us with a stick if we brought our stuff when there was a fire drill. My Tutor also said that if we didn't show up for a day, she would come to our house and force us to come to school. Now my new head of house is a complete psycho. He's way too obsessive about being the best as well, which makes it so much harder. There is just so much pressure in Lytchett Minster School. Any little thing you do out of line will literally get you a detention. I went to my locker during lesson time (I had permission from a teacher) and the receptionist in my house office literally gave me a detention. I tried to explain to her, but she just said to come back at lunch. The exams are too much stress as well. One day, you'll have 1 easy exam, but the next you have 5 important exams and then the day after that about 2 exams, so there's literally no time to do anything else. On top of revising, you're supposed to do even more homework to get better grades. They also scream at you the importance of coming to school, which I get, but unless you're like dying then there's pretty much not a valid excuse for not coming in. If you have an appointment, they groan at you and get really annoyed and just say 'Why can't you cancel it and change it for after school or on a weekend?' There's a simple answer for that: THE SOONER THE BETTER!\nLong story short, DON'T SEND ANYONE TO THIS SCHOOL. The teachers a horrible, you're overworked, pretty much depressed, and nothing good ever happens. Don't even consider going to this school. No matter how much they tell you it's a good school, just consider the reviews and the amount of stars this school has been given. As I'm writing this, the rating is 3.2.

Its not the case for all of them but I know some of these reviewers and I can tell you first hand, this is not the place to look for reviews (except mine of course).\nThe school itself is beautiful. Incredible architecture and designs for most of the buildings and it is situated in a beautiful part of Britain. The greenery is outstanding and the grounds are kept as well as the nearby Stour Head gardens.

It asses your intellect and, as any good school should, it pushes to get the best out of you that is possible. I teacher is only as good as their student, and I must say, the teaching is excellent. Many of the staff members don't teach their subject areas because they have to, they teach them because they are passionate about the subject and want to spread their knowledge to the next generation.\nThe resources are excellent as well, surprising given the loss in budget that occurred when both of the fires ravaged the school in 00 and 13. Every department has more than enough resources to keep students actively engaged with the subject. For me, the music, photography and media departments are wonderful in the resources front. There is more than enough computers and you can never go too far without one and the IT department runs a tight ship, on the whole, keeping the internet acceptability policy at bay for any issues.\nOverall, the school is a lively, thriving, active community full of eager students wishing to participate. When, however, you do get a silly little kid who doesn't behave this is dealt with accordingly. Unfortunately I've noticed a lot more badly behaved students recently and am hoping the school will crack down on it more in the future.\nI also must state that due to budget concerns and government policies, certain activities, events, subjects etc. are being dwindled and this is of major concern. However, one cannot blame the school, one must blame the government.\nI award the school 4 out of five stars mainly because the carrots in the school cafeteria are cooked terribly. On the whole, \"Caf\" is good but I do feel that the staff are sometimes rather harsh and the food is not cooked to perfection.\nI hope your kids will learn as much in this school as I have as Lytchett Minster certainly prepared me for my future extremely well.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I've been at Lytchett Minster School since I was in Year 9.
