GCSE students have one week and a few days of Easter as well as one week of Christmas just for 7 weeks of Summer. This makes it harder for GCSE and A-Level students to revise here. The days are even made longer! And that wouldn't have been much of a problem if the school started a bit later like 9:30, BUT NO.\nThe school would benefit from starting later in the morning, especially as most students take school buses, which from Hayes to Ickenham can lead to a lot of traffic. Also would give students more time to mentally prepare themselves for the day.\n\nBAD MOVE SWITCHING FORM TIME AS THE LAST LESSON OF THE DAY. This means if there's the usual traffic to school that makes students late, then they've missed some valuable education time in the morning. Yes, the buses may arrive a little earlier, but that doesn't prevent traffic.\n\nWhile the staff and teachers are pretty good overall, the system is quite harsh to sixth formers, as they're not allowed to go outside during their free periods (Felt like a prison).\nMost teachers aren't afraid to emphasise expectations of students. One teacher I had expected the whole of my chem\/bio set 2 class to get A's in our GCSE's without knowing much of our situations. It was moments like these that were quite frustrating, as they laid unnecessary pressure on students.\n\nIf you have autism or ADHD, don't go to this school. I can speak out for autism: you will be misunderstood by everyone including the counsellor, and likely be seen as weird by most people at school; super frustrating.\n\nAnd they don't really want to transfer students to different GCSE classes unless they really have to. Like after a few months of doing French for GCSE, I expressed my concern of doing something else like geography or going to the library instead to focus on other revision, but they kept refusing until I had a panic attack over it ONE YEAR LATER. All that time I've been anxious about this and there were willing to make my depression even worse all for their convenience and not the students. They don't really listen to what the student wants until the student does something about it, and often I've seen disobedience to specific subject teachers because the student had previously voiced their concern about not wanting to do such an optional subject yet still weren't listened to until they kept trying to disrupt the lesson FOR THEIR OWN FUTURE.\n\nIt's no wonder the school has gone from 'Outstanding' to 'Good' ever since Mr. Korish has taken over. If you can, try and find a better high school for GCSE's. You don't want to go to a school that looks more like a prison and makes students speak into a security gate every time they walk between campuses. No thank you.\n\nThe canteen makes you have to wait to eat at a certain time to reduce overcrowding (unless you're Y11, you get priority), which can make it frustrating if you need to get food quickly. Also drinks are overpriced, like a small carton of orange squash for 60p-\u00c2\u00a31 last time I remember.\n\nI've heard plenty a friend complain about unfair teachers though, as some will divide students between 'good' and 'bad', and they will happily try to give detentions to 'bad' people for silly reasons like sneezing and coughing, A NATURAL HUMAN PROCESS THEY CAN'T HELP. Some teachers are de-motivational and biased in treatment towards 'bad' kids. Felt like they were picking on them more sometimes, and I've genuinely felt sorry for some of them. So they focus more on 'bad' students and less on rewarding 'good' students.\n\nThis is a Catholic School, so bear in mind R.E GCSE is compulsory.\nA 7 week summer holiday can be good for planning holidays before GCSE's start. And school buses can be convenient. Though try not to go here for a GCSE's if you can, especially if you have a mental health difficulty like ASD, as this school lacks mental health first aid and I've always felt misunderstood by the counsellor; she is a kind lady who does try what she can, but that is only my case out of many.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Used to be a student here and this school got worse with Mr. Korish as headteacher tbh.
