reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"9 months ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"DON'T GO TO THIS SCHOOL! This place is more comparable to a prison then a school, it seems like teachers constantly make new rules that make you feel more restricted every day. Their newest 'rule' is called \"first time, every time\" and is a clear way to stop us from challenging the teachers, as if we argue back they can give us a whole 1 hour detention for not following instructions the first time whilst outside of class, even inside of class, teachers often skip sections of the stage system. We even can't walk freely in the corridors as they have a system called the \"one way system\" in which we can only move in 1 direction across a corridor. All year groups from year 7 to 10 have to line up, I understand year 7 and maybe even 8, but Year 9 and 10? That's just a drag. The whole Skinner's system is ran off fear and punishment, challenging any free thinking the students may have. The principle should be ashamed for making the school how it is today. Old principle, Mr Clark, was far more competent in managing the school. Any system would be better then the one currently in place. Can't wait to leave, do not go to this school if you care about your mental health.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"DON'T GO TO THIS SCHOOL!
