Fantastic parents' evenings, good exam results and yet this constant reporting of petty transgressions and small observations.

She walked down the corridor the wrong way. She wore the wrong stud earrings. She didn't like French.

Now 4 years later, she has no GCSEs , a mental health condition, self hatred, low self esteem and tried to commit suicide after being rejected by the senior leadership after 4 happy years of promise at prep and early senior school. Fantastic parents' evenings, good exam results and yet this constant reporting of petty transgressions and small observations. The destruction of her self esteem via petty criticisms, and watch her diminish and become anxious and self hating over 2 years was extraordinary.My daughter didn't fit apparently. She walked down the corridor the wrong way. She wore the wrong stud earrings. She didn't like French. There was an absence of care and a focus on conformity which paralleled a shift to a more traditional draconian Victorianism, a facsimilie of a girls' school - where compliance, subservience and religiosity informed the attitude and expectations of pupils on a daily basis.\n\nThe affect on my daughter and many of her friends was devastating. Many have also left.\n\nEducation is about creating robust well rounded members of society. This school did little to properly serve our young women and daughters in a fullsome, inclusive and modern way - to help them navigate life, to feel supported, and known and to be prepared in everyway to survive.
