Mr Lowe, Mr Godfrey, Mrs Walton and Mrs Lowman stand out but all my teachers were absolutely fantastic human beings and constantly gave me positive reinforcement when I didn't believe in myself, for which I'm so thankful. The people I went to school with were great too, even if I didn't see eye to eye with everyone. Also, I really feel like I was shaped into me at that school.\n\nThe bad: after going to a college for a year, I now realise how authoritarian the rules were. It was oppressive and didn't harbour creativity. Their facilities were great but the support systems for students being bullied didn't work and didn't stop bullying, or even deter it. People getting bullied got bullied further when they reported it. Additionally, regardless of how much the head will say it's wrong, there's a definite bias towards caring more about grades than well-being, and even though the teachers don't try to show that, you can tell they have pressure from higher ups, and that's absolutely no discredit to the teachers.\n\nOverall, I would never recommend going. But if you do go, advice from an ex-student: focus on your friends and appreciate your teachers. Don't feel too bad if you're not where you're meant to be. I never was and I turned out ok in the end.","languageCode":"en"},"authorAttribution":{"displayName":"Harry Hardy","uri":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/107825886434879904983\/reviews","photoUri":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocJ9L-fnRnPKtCb7m8bsiOpCni15Z-sMNjsBaaSghMzI=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba3"},"publishTime":"2019-06-03T13:31:25Z"},{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"4 years ago","rating":2,"text":{"text":"i would dread waking up and having to go to this school and i thought it was just me but after a year genuinely enjoying going to college i realised it was really how backwards this school is and continues to be in its rules and priorities. however they also have some amazing teachers that somewhat make up for this: mrs watson, mr&mrs walton, mr rab and mrs brown are the best things about this school and that my friend is the tea. so was miss metcalf but they lost her to another school and honestly good for her \u00f0\u009f\u00a4\u00aa","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"i would dread waking up and having to go to this school and i thought it was just me but after a year genuinely enjoying going to college i realised it was really how backwards this school is and continues to be in its rules and priorities. however they also have some amazing teachers that somewhat make up for this: mrs watson, mr&mrs walton, mr rab and mrs brown are the best things about this school and that my friend is the tea. so was miss metcalf but they lost her to another school and honestly good for her \u00f0\u009f\u00a4\u00aa","languageCode":"en"},"authorAttribution":{"displayName":"jude !","uri":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/100872177035675176441\/reviews","photoUri":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocKiM5FzvJADSusFpqaacpdsYWqUNfoRSYxvM23skSa1CQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo"},"publishTime":"2019-08-14T23:16:48Z"},{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"a year ago","rating":5,"text":{"text":"Yo I\u00e2\u0080\u0099m still going to this school it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s kind of lit mr willoughby is probably in the hall of fame of good teachers","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Yo I\u00e2\u0080\u0099m still going to this school it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s kind of lit mr willoughby is probably in the hall of fame of good teachers","languageCode":"en"},"authorAttribution":{"displayName":"Tyler Matloga","uri":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/103684608364635880275\/reviews","photoUri":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a-\/ALV-UjVte298pOw6paUWquei-_14rSmyfVNUUOuUz0ZwGcmTI6E=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo"},"publishTime":"2022-07-05T07:56:33Z"}]
