reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"a year ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"Just left this school and i do not reccomend anyone else go there. These are just a few of the many issues.\n\n1. Bullying is not dealt with. They pride themselves on their \"antibullying policy\" but has anyone ever told you what that entails. My parent tried to ask about it and they just didn't respond. Also, their response to bullying is \"well talk to them\" what is that gonna do?\n\n2. Food is often undercooked and for what you get, its overpriced. Like, 1 slice of pizza for \u00c2\u00a31.15. A singular waffle 89p. Come on. And chicken is soggy and undercooked, and i swear it once gave me food poisoning.\n\n3. Some teachers treat the students badly. Like, to give credit where credit is due. Some of the teachers are amazing at teaching, for example mrs Veide. Great at teaching. But they are extremely rude to students and if you place one foot out of line, they lose their mind. Some teachers are just horrible and one told me i should be dissapointed in my mock grade.\n\n4. School uniform. If you come in with any piece of uniform wrong, even with a reasonable explanation, you are put in \"the self regulation room (srr)\" until that issue is fixed. Where you sit in silence the entire day and get no breaktime, and are escorted to lunch. You also have to hand over your phone as soon as you walk in the room, even if you haven't used it.\n\n5. No support for undiagnosed special needs students. Students who need extra help, but have no medical diagnosis, are not given the support they need.\n\nThese are just a few of the issues that need dealt with. And again, i do not reccomend this for anyone.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Just left this school and i do not reccomend anyone else go there.
