Its the shitest school Ive ever heard of teachers a horrible scream at you and you have to do homework every night and they put you under pressure so much and its ridiculous. They are too strict and give out detentions as if its a game to see who can give out the most.
I go to this school and it is awful. You can get a detention for not wearing your blazer on the corridor - even in the height of summer, you have to have permission to drink in lessons, and the teachers are pathetic. You have to walk on the left side of the corridor - and only the left side - and sometimes the teachers tell us we have to be silent because 'there are exams' , but often there are non, so there are tons of students marching in silence down a corridor in identical uniform. Its like a prison. Those who refuse get sent to C5 (isolation) and if a student isn't identical to the other 1,200 students (nail varnish, 'inappropriate hair dye / style, non-academy uniform) then the student gets hidden away from the rest of the school in 'bridge' , which is a room basically like C5 just by a different name. And the reception staff are foul too, half the time they don't pick up the phone, they are incompetent - like they ask the same questions over and over, and once i had to wait for my medication because the staff were taking a selfie! There motto is 'Changing lives' yet what they are doing is indeed changing lives, but not for the better. Whatever feedback says this is not a good school, the education is terrible, the punishments are ridiculous, and the head, Mr Brooks is a manipulative, arrogant, boisterous imbecile who patronizes not only students, but parents as well, and belittles his students.
The school has gone to absolute shambles since the taking over of delta! School? I think they mean prison. The lessons have became bland, the children cant interact with the lessons or understand them in a way they can remember all the information as its textbook or listening to a teacher go on!A c4 detention(1 hour after school) if they dont sit down at dinner? If they accidentally forget a piece of rubbish? Speak when not spoken to? ONE MINUTE LATE? Dont have their planner? Its disgusting. A c5(all day in a booth, 3 toilet breaks only) if the child doesnt turn up to one of these detentions whether there is a genuine reason or not. The high-up members of staff speak to the pupils with minor respect, if any at all. Some members of staff even fret to be themselves in case of a lecture! The head who has supposed to of been a POSITIVE turning point for the school has 0 respect for any student who walks the school, anybody would believe the man only goes to work to scream. My child last year was in a mock exam and as a pupil said okay to the head he began screaming telling him to leave, for what? I find it absolutely vile. They then have the nerve to tell the students theyll only ever get respect in life if they give it, and the head teachers respect lies where? Ask any pupil that man has made a good impression on none. I for one cannot wait for the day my pupil leaves! Its no wonder they dread going to school when these are the type of people they have to face!
