The school is crumbling, yet another year of barely any change. The school can't afford glues and offer accessories needed for our education. That ain't entirely the school's fault but it is a massive problem. The school's firewall has caused problems to our internet a few times. The school can't keep up with the amount of money it spends in repairs and etc. The bell system is complicated and not safe. The fire bell is nearly exactly like the bell for the end of lesson, except it lasts longer. We sit in the classroom for a certain amount of time before we realize it's the fire bell, not the end of lessons. Who knows what would happen if it was a real fire? The main health and safety risk is the fact that there is asbestos in the walls of H block. If the wall 'breaks' the asbestos will leak into some of the H block classrooms possibly contaminating students if it happens during school hours. The school report card system is too strict, if you get 3 crosses over the course of the week (out of 3 ticks a lesson) you get an after school detention. I think it should be 3 crosses in a lesson or over the course of the day. The asbestos however is possibly because of how old the certain block is, old enough for some of the materials in the wall to decay and create asbestos, but it's still a concern... The school cares too much about uniform regulations, they implemented a uniform card. These cards were quite strictly used at the start of the year. If a part of your shirt was not tucked in, a signature on your uniform card, if your skirt was rolled up a tiny bit because it's too long, signature on your uniform card. If you got 3 or 4 signatures on your card, you would've got an after school detention, which is quite absurd. They should've been much more lenient about these cards... The uniform cards now are barely used. It's like the staff forgot about them. No-one brings them to school, (I haven't had mine on me for 3 months) no teacher signs them... Just useless, no point in having them anymore. (Don't bring them back into use either.) However, there are good qualities of the school, the school rarely witnesses bullying and acts well to cases of bullying. The school has great ranges of GCSE options to pick. Unfortunately, we can only pick 3 since Sociology is mandatory for us. However, I personally find Sociology fun, but it as an option would be more preferred. The school has many great teachers that really care about how the student progress in their GCSE's and try their best to help the students get better grades overall. But, this is quite masked, surprisingly. Short things short; The school needs to be more lenient and to improve to create more good qualities and like-ability for the school.
