I would not even send my child to this school. I am at this school and I am in year 11, and this school doesn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t do anything about bullying. The amount of times I have spoken to the teachers and my mum has been in complaining and nothing never gets done. People don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t get treated equally, when I report something about a member of staff, nothing happens, people get away with stuff, giving them a C4 is not going to make them stop. I actually pray that this school gets it self sorted out. Some classrooms need to be tidyied and set as a good example. Some dinner ladies are moody, one of them refused to give me dinner just because I waited for the line to go down and I reported it and yet again nothing happened. They don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t care about anything but money I swear down. The head teacher should come into all the classrooms more often and see how the teachers really are.
