reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"2 years ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"So far my experience at this school has been anything but pleasant. from multiple cases of bullying to teachers that just don't care about the well being of students. Don't even bother bringing your issues to staff, it's not like they'll actually do anything and they treat people differently (favouritism). Homework is of an overwhelming amount and is quite a difficult task to complete. Expectations are too high and create a lot of stress and anxiety. The science classrooms are disappointing and equipment is outdated. Main building looks like a large group of smokers have been living there for years and there are leaks in the ceiling, but the school would much rather spend money on making it into a tourist attraction by using the ww2 tunnels for publicity. We had to use porta loos for almost a whole term! how was I expected to wash my hands and how was I to dispose of sanitary products, its absolutely disgusting! Not to mention a clear health and safety issue. There's always water all over the toilet floors and desks and chairs are always filthy. Many teachers are rude and hypocritical with a colossal sense of self importance overall I'd rate this school 0\/10 would not recommend.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"So far my experience at this school has been anything but pleasant. from multiple cases of bullying to teachers that just don't care about the well being of students.
