Bristol Hospital Education Service

i would have died if i hadn't gone to this school - as it was i got amazing grades and moved into further education. i was treated with respect and understanding, and allowed to manage my own education. the staff do have some flaws, as other reviews point out, but in comparison to mainstream education, bhes truly is amazin; a second chance for kids and a gateway to a real future.

I went to this school and the teaches couldnt care less about the students mental health! All they care about is the money and to get outta school. The food is vile , its all vegan , home made , nothing that would help my eating disorder safe foods! BE AWARE THEY CAN OPEN THE TOILET DOORS IF THEY WANT TO , ITS DISGUSTING! I suffer from social anxiety and the common room was to busy , i went to the quite corner , got told of. There is no where , where kids with social and eating disorders to go I had no choice but to eat my food in the toilets Bcs there was no where quite for me to feel comfortable to be able to eat and be happy! The staff have no respect for the students disabilities and mental health its a terrible school!

Hi to future parents/carers who want to bring their child to BHES I've been reading the comments for the school reviews, personally I believe it's not a right justice to this school (that's my opinion) Many students that go to BHES are struggling with mental health, disabilities and more and they will all be affected differently by there past experiences as well, which could make things harder within attending this school. By the way sorry I have a lot to say :) Teachers/staff in the beginning of when I joined didn't really know what to do with me or handle me (in my opinion) but as soon as I started to tell them and show them they began to understand and be able to help me with my needs, I know that parents are going to fight for there kid and 100% do! But coming from the kid is so good as well you get to build relationships with the staff, a letter a phone call it all makes the difference I promise you! Some of the reviews are about teachers and staff, I just wanted to remind you all that every kid will get on different with each staff member and teacher (especially when you're feeling down, you will be triggered easily and get upset fast by the littlest things. I'm also not saying that you're experiences in the school are not valid i promise :) I didn't get on well with the staff when I first joined. Some of the things sertion staff members have done I do not agree with but what's amazing is the power is stepping up for yourself or just saying something lol. With the GCES there are not as many subjects but there are ways of getting extra lesson outside of school, if that is that YOUR child wants. The lesson are chil really chill but still maintain that school environment for learning, breaks if needed can be provided by asking a teacher or sorting something with the head or your team leader. With special things you need to 'survive' the school day can be provided by head teacher or team leader (not all things will be allowed, but always ask so you can get an answer) With other students "bullying or making fun of the students" although it's not an excuse many pupils have had horrible experience with bullying or something else the anger that they feel may come out or they might call you names. This hasn't happened often unless there has been a friendship group fallout/fight. Nevertheless it will sorted out as soon as possible if reported. I believe I've covered a lot of the topics, this review is giving you a real insight into the school. This school saved me, I wouldn't be alive to this day without them, I never thought I could make it to college but here I am because of the school. I suffer with severe anxiety and I went from not being able to leave the house to going out with friends and powering though with the help and support I've received (not just the school the amazing friends I made have walked through this hell with me, the hell is mental health, by the way no one is broken they have just been hurt and need some medical attention to help heal the wounds) I'm Lily Handford I have attended this school for 4-5 years and this is my thoughts and opinions on Bristol Hospital Education Service. I hope your experience is amazing and helps you with whatever you need the school for. Tell your kids they're not alone .

They preach helping kids with damaged upbringing but fail at every opportunity. They strive to be a solid organisation in terms of staff but only a small handful are actually trained to deal with children like this.
