As a current student here if the school finds out who I am they're likely to expel me as they do to anyone who speaks the truth about the school.\n\nSo firstly in the snow we're expected to attend school despite black ice, snow and un-gritted roads; they also then don't grit the schools paths so it's basically an ice rink but we're still expected to be completely fine with the conditions. When eating inside (as it's snowing) we're told to go outside to eat (in the freezing snow) or stay inside and don't eat - so either be cold or starve is our options. Their reputation comes first, not their students, which is why the school has so many deep issues.\n\nThe schools overlooks anything that could damage it's reputation and they silence you. I put a report against a teacher for discrimination against a student and they completely ignored it in fear of damaging their reputation. There's countless other occasions where they've purposely silenced students to keep their reputation. The justice system is so unjust, the school like you - let off of most things | school doesn't like you - will accuse you of anything even if it's not you so your discriminated against.\n\nThe food prices are overpriced - they claim to 'resell things at the same price they buy it in for' so they basically claim to buy pizzas in for the equivalent of \u00c2\u00a310.40 - yet more lies!\n\nBut to be fair to them most of the teaching staff are nice, the learning mentors are great and the teaching quality is great.
