horrendous school, full of jobless people, half the children here should still be in year 5 for god sake! my child has not only learnt nothing, they have gotten dumber!! she was once a high flying student and was always the smartest in her classes to now being in set 3 and knowing less than the basics!!
what also really worries me is the fact that they had a lock down due to somebody in the school having a knife, i am so scared for any parents that still send their children here!!

They need to take away the school trips and spend the money on pens, air conditioning and windows that open. They also need to take off the shutters on the bathrooms as it is a basic human right to be allowed to go to the toilet!! What’s even worse is the teachers refuse to let them go to the bathrooms that they have keys to when they should be allowed to go to the toilet!! honestly disgraceful, never send your children here, i’d rather have my kids be home schooled which would mean me taking time off work so i’m unable to provide money for our family to get basic necessities.

I had to put one star as I HAD NO CHOICE I wouldn’t give any stats after my experience. I came In for an interview before the summer and was offered a teacher of media role and was told I was the only media teacher there so all summer I had prepared projects for the lessons and when I went in this week I was told I am not the only media teacher but the role was given to a teacher with No media experience at all, and when I asked about this they said we thought we’d let her have an opportunity to learn the subject and teach it, as I was a media teacher they didnt consider me teaching it fully but moved me over to a ICt role which is again not my subject area. Not sure why the mix up is happening when things can run more smoothly and being more organised is what the school needs and to make correct decisions at the right time instead my time was wasted and again the deputy head asked me to go over the timetable with the other teacher to see how we can manage the timetable which isnt my job to do but for the seniors to organise. , very appalled by their lack of awareness and if they continue to be indifferent to the situation alot more staff will leave and the school can fail. But on the brightnote I have been offered a position elsewhere. I made the correct decision to leave. .

Would be zero stars if google allowed.
Well where do we begin? We have 3 children at this school who all came out of their primaries as high flyers. Now after a couple of years at this school we are having nightmares.
At first we assumed it was our kids growing up and being naughty etc as they were in with the wrong crowd….until we went to parents evening. I had teachers moaning to me that they had pupils throwing pencils at them etc. This only indicates weakness from them.
Our children would never throw objects at us at home…so why at school?? And they didn’t. It was other kids.
Then we realised (as a store manager of a successful business) these teachers who are in charge of teaching our children are not actually fit to train a dog. No exageration here either.
My point here is…while we are supporting our family by working hard and trusting they are being taught well by the teachers at this school, like any parent would expect, it seems the many young and inexperienced teachers at this school are failing our children.
My advice….send your kids to Cardinal Langley.

Only thing have to say never ever send you child to this school. As a parent im disgursted with it my daughter has been bullied. Ive asked her to be moved to differnt school n this school is refusin to sign the papers so they are leavin her without an education. Ive got onto to the council they are lookin into it they are still not answ them to sign the paper.
