This made it difficult for students to concentrate on their studies and was a source of discomfort for many. It is concerning that this issue was not addressed promptly and effectively.\n\nAdditionally, the quality of the food served in the school cafeteria was subpar. The pink chicken burgers in particular were of poor quality and had an unappetizing texture. It is important for schools to ensure that the food being served to students is not only safe, but also of good quality and nutritionally balanced.\n\nLastly, there were reports of students vaping in the school toilets. This is a serious concern, as vaping has been linked to a number of health issues and can be a distraction to other students.\n\nOverall, while there were some positive aspects to Minsthorpe, these concerning issues cannot be overlooked.

While there were some positive aspects, there were also a number of concerning issues that should be addressed.\n\nFirst and foremost, there was a persistent and unpleasant smell of fish that came from the toilets. This made it difficult for students to concentrate on their studies and was a source of discomfort for many. It is concerning that this issue was not addressed promptly and effectively.\n\nAdditionally, the quality of the food served in the school cafeteria was subpar. The pink chicken burgers in particular were of poor quality and had an unappetizing texture. It is important for schools to ensure that the food being served to students is not only safe, but also of good quality and nutritionally balanced.\n\nLastly, there were reports of students vaping in the school toilets. This is a serious concern, as vaping has been linked to a number of health issues and can be a distraction to other students.\n\nOverall, while there were some positive aspects to Minsthorpe, these concerning issues cannot be overlooked. I hope that the school administration takes swift action to address these issues and ensure that the school provides a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"As a former student of Minsthorpe, I feel compelled to share my honest review of the school.
