tons of bullying, teachers and students ableist to special needs kids, kids being beaten up every day, no regard for childrens mental health, insanly strict rules like no white socks. its poor. worst school i have ever seen.
Management is motivated and driven, BUT the style seems dictatorial in terms of implementing change and the introduction of additional demands. The concern is that this leads to staff absences and departures amidst a UK teaching recruitment crisis. The school really would be better off consulting, nurturing and retaining its existing experienced workforce rather than invigilating them to excess. Wouldn’t it be more productive for the school to concentrate on education instead of the distraction of having to operate as a recruitment agency in a potential environment of self-created staff churn?
Don’t get me wrong, I do think this school is a decent one to go to if you live close in the area. However, ever since September some new additional rules have been put into place; some rather strict rules too. An example being: If you are late by even a minute, you will get a half hour detention after school. Which, in my opinion, is so harsh and should be reduced.
And this to remind you, is just one of the many other rules put in place. Apparently, it’s all about ‘give and take’. But teachers are still too busy focusing on the bad students and never seem to notice the actual good students. So far, I only know about three teachers in school who hand out tokens (The reward system) and not even the people who enforced the rules hand them out themselves. It is honestly sad how strict and downhill this school has gotten. I understand rules are important, but know when enough is enough.

I wouldn’t even rate it 1 star but have to put something to make the review. Westgate is shocking when it comes to childrens mental health and wellbeing. Will also rinf social services on you for them failing your child (obviously case dropped!) Absolutely shocking attitudes from some of the staff. I removed my son. They also said he’s not autistic and fakes his behaviours. He had assessment after i removed him and he got a diagnosis. Made my mental health as his parent go down the drain. Useless and absolutely shocked its rated outstanding
Worst school ever, don’t go here for your safety, you will get beaten up, or stabbed. Do not go here
