reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"a year ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"Me and my best friend spent most of our early school life at this school. And we can both agree that it was terrible. Not only were the staff mean, but there was no punishment put in place for bullying or anything like that. We were both bullied severely whilst attending this school which lead to some serious mental health issues then and now. I would be afraid to come into school and would cry at the beginning of every term.\n\nWhilst attending this school, I had severe anxiety and was practically punished for it. I would be thrown into chairs, yelled at and mentally bullied by the staff (and pupils). I was also blamed for things I didn't do such as talking in lessons and hurting fellow students and teachers. I was quiet, and the one friend I had was purposefully separated from me. And they would put me through more mental torture when I would be forced to stand up in front of class to explain why I was crying. That lead to the bullying and being called names such as 'cry baby' and 'vampire'. The vampire bit was because I have weird looking teeth and when I would cry or smile, my teeth would show.\n\nMy mum made complaints about the bullying several times, but they never did anything about it. Some teachers went as far to say that I have anger issues and I needed to calm down about it cause it wasn't as bad as I said it was.\n\nThankfully, half way through year 6, me and my friend both left the school, and we would both like to recommend to all parents considering letting their children go there. If they say they are being hurt or bullied, please listen to them, because its very likely they are not lying. And I would also like to say that please do not disregard this because of my user, I can't change it and I made this account when I was 7.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Me and my best friend spent most of our early school life at this school.
