reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"a year ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"Not a good school. They keep parents at arms length and I found it challenging to talk to teachers about making improvements for my child. It's a very academic setting, there is no provision made for the kinaesthetic learner. Very firm and rigid management are unwilling to change and improve or engage with parents. Very traditional and in my eyes, outdated academic institution which is not supportive of creative subjects. During the summer 2021 GCSEs, they did not use the question sets distributed by the government to compensate students for being disadvantaged by the Covid pandemic. Instead they used different questions, which was not in accordance with government guidance. They place undue stress on students with exams and assessments. As a result there are a lot of anxious students with mental health issues.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Not a good school.
