reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"11 months ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"So, funnily enough, I actually went to this school. And I felt nothing but regret by doing so. The bullying at this school goes on for a long time until it reaches a point where the victim either threatens their own life or forces themselves to fight back, and then the VICTIM ends up in trouble. Most of the teachers when I went there were really good at teaching, like Mr McGarvey, Miss Cottingham, and Mr Ainsworth, and the only vice principals who would do something were Mr Piggott and Mr Lindars. Other than those teachers and some who have now left the school, there haven't been any other good teachers. The food quality was shocking and I'm appalled to hear that they've only JUST started to use fresh ingredients.\n\nAlso, over the time I went there, there were 3 teachers who were hired and caught to be a bit...iffy...with students, who were promptly let go as a result. But since I have left, there have been more of those teachers hired. I would never in a million years think about recommending this school to anyone because of this. And I'm even more shocked to hear that Mr David Coleman was ALLOWED to resume teaching after his actions.\n\nPlease for the love of god, do NOT send your kids here unless you want them complaining daily about teachers and bullying. It is the worst secondary school in Kent by far.\n\nAlso, Miss Dunn was a really good librarian so she's another good staff member there","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"So, funnily enough, I actually went to this school.

reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"11 months ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"So, funnily enough, I actually went to this school. And I felt nothing but regret by doing so. The bullying at this school goes on for a long time until it reaches a point where the victim either threatens their own life or forces themselves to fight back, and then the VICTIM ends up in trouble. Most of the teachers when I went there were really good at teaching, like Mr McGarvey, Miss Cottingham, and Mr Ainsworth, and the only vice principals who would do something were Mr Piggott and Mr Lindars. Other than those teachers and some who have now left the school, there haven't been any other good teachers. The food quality was shocking and I'm appalled to hear that they've only JUST started to use fresh ingredients.\n\nAlso, over the time I went there, there were 3 teachers who were hired and caught to be a bit...iffy...with students, who were promptly let go as a result. But since I have left, there have been more of those teachers hired. I would never in a million years think about recommending this school to anyone because of this. And I'm even more shocked to hear that Mr David Coleman was ALLOWED to resume teaching after his actions.\n\nPlease for the love of god, do NOT send your kids here unless you want them complaining daily about teachers and bullying. It is the worst secondary school in Kent by far.\n\nAlso, Miss Dunn was a really good librarian so she's another good staff member there","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"So, funnily enough, I actually went to this school.
