It is extremely cold in the winter as the windows are extremely old . I think maybe spending a few thousand pounds on new toilets could be spent on repairing the old windows. Why has the school just put new windows on the front of the building? I know, so the school looks great on the outside.

The bullying is out of control, the teachers are scared of the kids, and the level of learning is appalling.\nThis school left my daughter with life-changing problems and she was made so ill by the experience of being here that she is now permanently disabled.\nThankfully, home-school is an option and Bottisham is a million times better in all ways than this heap.","languageCode":"en"},"authorAttribution":{"displayName":"Freya Locke","uri":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/107832380382691349895\/reviews","photoUri":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a-\/ALV-UjV2m0FbXM_I5atbJyd1dskspNBSyHaN-R_0SzYuZbBb80Q=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba3"},"publishTime":"2022-07-21T19:49:15Z"},{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"5 years ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"Please don't consider taking your child to this school. Some of the teachers are excellent, but some teachers are appalling. I find the badges that represent your house colour is a safety hazard. They may not look sharp, but if you put enough force on it it can go through someone's skin (not a great thing if you are victim of bullying). Which leads me too another issue: bullying. Sometimes bullying can be resolved, but mostly it is just left. I feel the school puts their attention on the 'highly able and talented' pupils. It is extremely cold in the winter as the windows are extremely old . I think maybe spending a few thousand pounds on new toilets could be spent on repairing the old windows. Why has the school just put new windows on the front of the building? I know, so the school looks great on the outside. If you do decide to send your child here, their will be some nice teachers guiding them through the years, but if I was you, I would consider taking them to Samuel Ward, if is a great school.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Please don't consider taking your child to this school.
