Why wouldnt they? All the write ups look good (but theyre just words on a page), results look good (but in reality so many students have private tutors outside of school), Open Evenings look good (students are told they HAVE to say the school is good). Oh on the surface it looks good but its not until you are in the school every day that you actually realise what its like. Its NOT as good as it is hyped up to be. Sure there are SOME good teachers, but there are also loads that are not! And if you're stuck with one (or more) of them, then you are stuffed. Loads of us actually ended up HAVING to get private tutors outside of school just to pass our GCSEs. If you try to say that you need help or change teacher the Heads wont listen to you. They wont accept criticism or provide support. Its OUR education. Don't we deserve to be listened to? Then theres also the newly qualified teachers who are brought in to teach GCSE Level - treating us like guinea pigs.The Head Teacher boasts about the school-she is out of touch with what is REALLY going on.Perhaps concentrating on your own school (instead of the National Teaching School thing) and actually listening to people who experience it every day might be a good start! Oh and yes, there IS bullying & it does NOT get dealt with properly. It gets brushed under the carpet. Also, there ARE drugs.Every school has its problems but a good school listens! Ive left St Clement Danes now & Im studying elsewhere. So glad I did. I already feel more listened to&cared about. I actually now feel like I matter and that my opinions are listened to-I never felt like this at St Clement Danes.Maybe thats why so many teachers end up leaving each year too.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I went to St Clement Danes School in Chorleywood.My family believed all the hype & thought it would be the best school.
