The bullying was horribal most children left when being bullied, i did in the end because the bullies never really got punished. I got beaten by the same group a few times, my mum was up that school often but the bullies stayed and just got put in remove which is a time out. They even pulled down my underwear in front of everyone and nothing was ever done to them. There parents wouldn't come in to meetings. So i left. Best thing i did. So dont send your children here.
