The school seems to care more about its image then pupils health/good. Its more on the autocratic side with all its strict and outdated rules, thats in my opinion. Focus is high on just doing good on the exams and following rules rather then learning anything that will last longer then a week after exams. Finding what you really like as student is really hard due to lack of things to do and strict rules which limit what you can do. Focus is put on punishing students for not following rules rather then focusing on the reasons that led to it. There is barelly any place to rest during breaks, no place to sit down, as most places are overcrowded. The strict enforcement of uniforms is horrible during summer... At least for me it was. The uniforms are also bad, but thats just my preference. Being one of the student in the past, I have been there since year 7 (2009) to Sixthform (2015) and I don't recommend the school, as it feels like I learned nothing and just waisted my youth years trying to follow unrealistic standards. The atmosphere in the school was fake, in a sense that they constantly say they care about students ect, but the important problems that bother students are not really being solved. The school also does not have a slightest idea how to get to student that are less prone to being at the center of attention, very uncreative in a ways of getting to students. Most teachers are friendly but not as creative in their subjects (there are few exceptions). Bullying is not that apparent (physical anyway) , as most places are monitored which has its drawbacks, as it is hard to find place where you don't feel like everyone is watching you, making it kind of stressful not to feel judged. This is why I said the school cares more about its image, on paper, they have resources, monitoring, good offstead reviews?, canteen, uniforms, music, art facilities, rules etc. But there is not much freedom for students to explore their passions in their own ways as everything is scripted and lack flexibility, any small jump from the school rules result in pointless, illogical punishments, results is all that matters, and individualism is far on priority list. Might not be the worst school, but certainly there are schools with better priorities.
