Personally I believe that the students are given lack of choice about key decisions that affect their life. This may be avoided by consulting the parents but this is rarely done. For example, the school offered to the year 9 students in 2016 the option of GCSE PE. When the school year started months later this was continued and students spent a few months learning the GCSE curriculum. The school then decided on their own that they were going to change this GCSE to a BTEC with no consent from the students and\/or parents. Although they believed this was the right decision they could\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve told us the problems and risks of giving us the decision. Along with this they shouldn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t have offered us a subject that they can\u00e2\u0080\u0099t maintain. Now I have a BTEC instead of a GCSE, and if I am told they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re equal one more time I\u00e2\u0080\u0099m going to write a worse review, grrr. Also since they personally without anyone\u00e2\u0080\u0099s agreements and changed the qualifications I am receiving, they should\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve given us the option to move to another subject. So overall this is unfair. There are other examples of events where no involvement has been made from outside opinions. Some teachers make great efforts to help their students and others not so much. Departments like English are quite strong but other subjects like Spanish I can\u00e2\u0080\u0099t say the same. Personally I believe that my knowledge of Spanish has decreased after months of \u00e2\u0080\u0098learning.\u00e2\u0080\u0099 Also the amount of supplies are uncanny.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Average school, I've seen worse.
