No sports day. No enrichment week(which is now 3 days). And no school trips. This school also is extremely outdated with the buildings looking like they will fall apart, textbooks outdated with some going back to the 1990's. The food portions are terrible and very overpriced. Everything that the school sells is very overpriced and bad quality. Some of the chicken that is sold is literally raw with pink bits seen everywhere. The teachers do not know how to engage in a proper conversation with a student and will end up shouting and punishing the whole class for the actions of 1 student. In my opinion the school prioritises their exam results in comparison with dartford grammar(the best school in the area) over the wellbeing of its own students. Being in this school is also very stressful.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I have been going to this school for 3 years now and we have missed out on everything that the school promised would be fun about it.
