I go into school and I am guaranteed to have at least 1 substitute teacher who cannot control the class because they are 50+ and get told what to do by the students. I walk to my next lesson which takes me at least 7 mins due to the high influx of students leaving classrooms because there are over 1300 students in the whole school. The school constantly complains about housing to many students even though we all know they accept them because of it being a comprehensive. The more students they have, the more money they get given by the government which they spend on barriers to stop people who buy school food sitting with people who have packed lunch, in theory I guess they wanted organisation however in reality it is just segregation. We cannot sit with our friends as we are designated seat at random. In PE you are in the changing rooms for 20 minutes awaiting a teacher to enter and do the register on software which hardly ever works known as sims, you have 1-4 people hiding in the shower rooms or in the toilet waiting for everyone to go out to PE where they would then grab \u00c2\u00a3150 worth of goods from your Blazer and Bag then proceed to the PE office when they would ransack all goods that were placed in the office to prevent people stealing from you. When you walk home via the back gate you must cross a main road called old road east with no lollipop lady or zebra crossing, due to this a student was hit by a car last week, and is currently being hospitalised. If you come to this school hoping to learn a new language such as French or Spanish don't bother we currently have no teachers that can teach another language in our school. So all in all I highly recommend this school for your child.\n-K","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"The most amazing school you could ask for in the UK.

We cannot sit with our friends as we are designated seat at random. In PE you are in the changing rooms for 20 minutes awaiting a teacher to enter and do the register on software which hardly ever works known as sims, you have 1-4 people hiding in the shower rooms or in the toilet waiting for everyone to go out to PE where they would then grab \u00c2\u00a3150 worth of goods from your Blazer and Bag then proceed to the PE office when they would ransack all goods that were placed in the office to prevent people stealing from you. When you walk home via the back gate you must cross a main road called old road east with no lollipop lady or zebra crossing, due to this a student was hit by a car last week, and is currently being hospitalised. If you come to this school hoping to learn a new language such as French or Spanish don't bother we currently have no teachers that can teach another language in our school. So all in all I highly recommend this school for your child.\n-K","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"The most amazing school you could ask for in the UK. I go into school and I am guaranteed to have at least 1 substitute teacher who cannot control the class because they are 50+ and get told what to do by the students. I walk to my next lesson which takes me at least 7 mins due to the high influx of students leaving classrooms because there are over 1300 students in the whole school. The school constantly complains about housing to many students even though we all know they accept them because of it being a comprehensive. The more students they have, the more money they get given by the government which they spend on barriers to stop people who buy school food sitting with people who have packed lunch, in theory I guess they wanted organisation however in reality it is just segregation.
