Our first teacher soon left for maternity leave and we had a man who supposedly obtained a \"PHD\" but did little teaching and a lot of talking about his own personal life. 2 months before our final exam after a full year of complaining to Mr Baker the head that as a class that we felt the teaching standard was insufficient, we were then told that our coursework was completely wrong and that we had to do it again when our previous teacher had graded us all A's and B's (I'm not sure what cloud she was on nor if she was even qualified) so rather than focusing on exam techniques and practice essays for the exam (which we hardly did any of) we was faffing about with coursework which should have been completed by Easter latest! We then had 2 new teachers, one argumentative socially awkward man who thought teaching was making us read out from a text book for 2 hours and would shout at us for taking notes, the other was a lovely woman whom was also an excellent teacher but only came in once every 2 weeks for an hour because she was a full time teacher elsewhere. The lessons were crammed and mentally draining and whenever any of us complained about the situations the head Mr Baker would simply retort \"There's no use throwing your toys out the pram now\" because clearly it was nothing important only our FUTURES!!! He did not seem to realize that hiring in multiple different people to teach us did more harm than good and he had trouble admitting to himself that he messed up as the head of the school. As students we were just trying to concentrate on somehow passing the exam and now its too late to make a formal complaint but please take this as a friendly warning and AVOID THIS SCHOOL AT ALL COSTS. I achieved an A in History at GCSE and a B at AS level history the year before along with a classmate of mine who achieved an A at AS Level, by the end of year 13 she dropped to a C and I to a D and we are now unable to secure our desired university places not of course to any of Mr Baker's concern, no one in the class achieved a final grade higher than a C and most of us were predicted A and B grade students whom were more than capable. Frankly I do not think that Mr Baker is fit to be a headmaster nor do I think he checks his staffs qualifications before hiring them, I wish I put in a formal complaint but did not know how to go about it so the least I can do now is warn the future A level students and parents to look elsewhere and never be afraid to question and challenge teachers and schools if you feel the teaching standards are unsatisfactory or in Mount Grace's case a complete and utter JOKE!!!!!!","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Sat my history a level at this school as the timetable at chancellor's did not enable me to do all 3 of my chosen subjects there.

Our first teacher soon left for maternity leave and we had a man who supposedly obtained a \"PHD\" but did little teaching and a lot of talking about his own personal life. 2 months before our final exam after a full year of complaining to Mr Baker the head that as a class that we felt the teaching standard was insufficient, we were then told that our coursework was completely wrong and that we had to do it again when our previous teacher had graded us all A's and B's (I'm not sure what cloud she was on nor if she was even qualified) so rather than focusing on exam techniques and practice essays for the exam (which we hardly did any of) we was faffing about with coursework which should have been completed by Easter latest! We then had 2 new teachers, one argumentative socially awkward man who thought teaching was making us read out from a text book for 2 hours and would shout at us for taking notes, the other was a lovely woman whom was also an excellent teacher but only came in once every 2 weeks for an hour because she was a full time teacher elsewhere. The lessons were crammed and mentally draining and whenever any of us complained about the situations the head Mr Baker would simply retort \"There's no use throwing your toys out the pram now\" because clearly it was nothing important only our FUTURES!!! He did not seem to realize that hiring in multiple different people to teach us did more harm than good and he had trouble admitting to himself that he messed up as the head of the school. As students we were just trying to concentrate on somehow passing the exam and now its too late to make a formal complaint but please take this as a friendly warning and AVOID THIS SCHOOL AT ALL COSTS. I achieved an A in History at GCSE and a B at AS level history the year before along with a classmate of mine who achieved an A at AS Level, by the end of year 13 she dropped to a C and I to a D and we are now unable to secure our desired university places not of course to any of Mr Baker's concern, no one in the class achieved a final grade higher than a C and most of us were predicted A and B grade students whom were more than capable. Frankly I do not think that Mr Baker is fit to be a headmaster nor do I think he checks his staffs qualifications before hiring them, I wish I put in a formal complaint but did not know how to go about it so the least I can do now is warn the future A level students and parents to look elsewhere and never be afraid to question and challenge teachers and schools if you feel the teaching standards are unsatisfactory or in Mount Grace's case a complete and utter JOKE!!!!!!","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Sat my history a level at this school as the timetable at chancellor's did not enable me to do all 3 of my chosen subjects there.
