Simon Langton Girls’ Grammar School, Canterbury | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

This is my daughter speaking- I believe that the rules are mostly pointless and are a way of disipling us in ks3 as they have very few other things to pick at us with as we do not do anything of essentail importance as we go through everything again in ks4. They also claim to be feminists but this is untrue as we are not aloud to were stockings because we are women and it is sexaulising. My friend got told of for wearing ripped jeans because her knees were showing we are also not aloud to show our shoulders, upper thighs or a slit of belly. This is not feminism. when asking why these rules exisists they were unable to answer althugh there was one reply; it makes us become a distraction to teachers because we look sexaul. I think any teacher who gets distracited by a pair of stockings should be a disgrace to be hired and an embarrement to the school but apperently not apperetly its the students who are a disgrace. When year 7s wear stockings they dont get punished but if the older girls do we get a card signing. They are also racists within their rules, Black people are aloud to wear exstensions, braids etc. but white people, are not. This seems to be a trend, in the Simon Langton Boys school black boys can shave their heads but when a white student did they were made to wear a hat to school. Many people became so targetted and under pressure in this school that they resorted to self harming and depression. We arr constantly being challenged with ne questions that we hadnt covered in our tests. For example this year the questions were the ones cut from previous years because of being to hard. They probably done this to try and look good by showing of grades that dont always exsist. This also seems to be a trend. In my set the average was about 17/62. I dont regret writing this becuase my school is alwayts deemed as one of the best in Kent I want to prove with the student voice they have taken away from me that the School and the Pupils are not connected and when the students are treated like this Im ot sure they ever will. Non-school uniform days dont exsist we dont have human rights in this school we dont even have the right to get bad grades or we get punished. so there I cant wait to get punished for this, for sharing the news of SLGS.

A great school with a lovely friendly atmosphere.
