reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"8 years ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"While some of the teaching at the school is actually good and some of the teachers do put the effort into their teaching, its easy to tell who genuinely cares about their pupils grades and who is only interested in making themselves look good. If a student struggled with a certain subject or project, most likely they wouldn't get any help, though that depended on which teacher you actually had. Though academically the school does have good facilities, for any creative subjects the facilities are terrible and the teaching seemed across Art, Music and Drama seemed bad for the majority of the two years I took my GCSES\n\nThey are appalling when it comes to helping people who suffer badly from stress. From the numerous amount of times I broke down crying because I was struggling to cope with the massive amount of stress from studying and coursework, only two teachers actually bothered to turn round and ask if I was okay. They do barely anything to prevent bullying, from the multiple cases I reported, only one was even remotely dealt with, by simply moving me away from the people bullying me, and that took over three months to actually happen.\n\nAlso, they seem to not care about the students originality, preaching how everyone is different and unique, then forcing extremely strict uniform rules that left everyone looking the same, and not preventing bullying when someone, like myself, express their unique tastes such as Anime or Pokemon. I spent years being uncomfortable in school because I became to scared to come out with my true gender in fear of no support from the school and being bullied by my peers, so I spent two years being called the wrong name and feeling trapped and it contributed massively to my depression. The ACE crew, who should help children who feel bad or depressed, are very bad with almost anyone who is not recorded on their radar at year 7 and the few times I have gone their they have been pathetic and did nothing to help me at all.\n\nThough academically the school isn't that bad and does genuinely have a few good teachers that actually care about how their students do in their exams, it is the worse place for anyone who is extremely unique, suffer from any mental illnesses or feels that they are under the LGBT spectrum's, and would highly recommend you find another school for your child, because comming here may do more harm then good for your child.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"While some of the teaching at the school is actually good and some of the teachers do put the effort into their teaching, its easy to tell who genuinely cares about their pupils grades and who is only interested in making themselves look good.
