St Matthew's High Brooms C of E Primary School

This school has a lot of issues where the teachers are happy overlook; the equality for ethnic minorities are non existent. A group of Caucasian boys circled me calling me offensive names against my ethnicity. They then took turns hurting me. I tried to defend myself and pushed one of them and they got hurt really bad and I ended up getting severely punished. There was absolutely no punishment for the other party, the teacher believed I went up to a boy out of no where and grabbed his head and smashed it as hard as I could. The injured boy and his friends went in to make up more terrible things in order to get me into as much trouble as possible. The teacher of the injured student E.Anscombe made sure my younger sibling translated to my mum the event from the boys side and stood outside my mums car until she had to agree with the story for her to leave (bearing in mind my mum doesnt speak any English). Other parents would be called into a meeting but Anscombe made sure every parent passing could hear what a terrible child she thought I was. I was humiliated and embarrassed by her actions. As an ethnic minority I felt so bullied and this school will do anything to punish anyone who isnt Caucasian. Anscombe spent her efforts to make sure I wasnt happy. She was my netball teacher and I watched all my Caucasian team mates being called up getting rewarded certificates for best player of the week and in 4 years of playing I got 1 best player of the week certificate. What a joke. At 10 I left the netball team and Anscombe orchaestrated a betallion of older students to bully me back into joining the team. I was 10 and I couldnt wait to leave primary school! Thats not how any primary school should make any child feel. Now thankfully through reviews I can tell my story and finally have some peace with this. This school absolutely ruined me. To this day I am still haunted how I was so badly mistreated. If you have a look at the group photos on the website the ratio of ethnic minorities are so very minor because there is a reason for this. Send your child somewhere else. You have been warned.

This is a great school that has improved so much from the past. The headteacher is a very kind person, and she cares how the school performs at every level. The incoming headteacher is from an outstanding school. The same thing will happen with this school. Amazing school in the area!

This school has transformed from a bad school to a fantastic school. The teachers are very friendly. I would recommend this to any child. Well done. The playgrounds are safe and the classrooms are up to date. So if you are thinking of putting your child here. Do because you won't regret it.
