The first couple of years weren't actually that bad but in my last 2 years they started adding dumb things like these folders which we had to copy out of which was a massive waste of time and school money. Additionally students would be made to sit in silence in class which doesn't create a healthy learning environment and damages sociak skills which are used in everyday life. Also you woukd get detentions for the most dumb things and you wouod just be treated like a bunch of sheep. Instead of tackling real issues they wouod just focus on the little things than it the grand scheme of things didn't matter at all. There were some good teachers here and there but the things I pointed out just ruined the whole experience. The sixth form isn't that much better if anything it's worse. Best thing I ever did was leave this school and transfer elsewhere haven't regretted it and has improved my life drastically.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Used to go here and was honestly a terrible experience.

The first couple of years weren't actually that bad but in my last 2 years they started adding dumb things like these folders which we had to copy out of which was a massive waste of time and school money. Additionally students would be made to sit in silence in class which doesn't create a healthy learning environment and damages sociak skills which are used in everyday life. Also you woukd get detentions for the most dumb things and you wouod just be treated like a bunch of sheep. Instead of tackling real issues they wouod just focus on the little things than it the grand scheme of things didn't matter at all. There were some good teachers here and there but the things I pointed out just ruined the whole experience. The sixth form isn't that much better if anything it's worse. Best thing I ever did was leave this school and transfer elsewhere haven't regretted it and has improved my life drastically.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Used to go here and was honestly a terrible experience.
