From what, I know there has been a change in leadership and the new principal is one of the few teachers who actually cared about me and treated me as somebody who could contribute something to the world. But, for all I know a lot of this school could be the same.
Basically, I was horrendously bullied. When I came in year 3, other students in my year were calling me the R slur. In year 5, the same two boys would tease me day after day after day. The next year, two new year 5 boys did the same thing. Girls would exclude me and manipulate me into doing stupid things.
The teachers hardly helped. Miss Howarth (I think that's her name) and Miss Timms (who a lot of people seem to dislike) were the only two teachers who actually saw my potential. The other teachers would not let me do sports, do debating or even run for school captain. Sure, those are selective things, but the school did not select students based on their ability, but rather were very biased. They held try outs every year for the sports, but would only ever pick the same students as previous years. Year 6 would automatically get picked, but the school would not admit it. After trying out for the debating team in year 5 and failing, I lost all my self esteem. Sure, I wasn't good at sports, but not being good at this either made me feel like I wasn't good at anything. The school was far too competitive, especially for a primary school. They also did not let me run for school captain because there were too many people running and they did not want to sit through so many speeches, so they picked a few off. After being picked off, Miss Howarth told me I should be in the IT team. Sure, I was in the IT team but this one boy would be the only boy who would do anything and the school did not bother to let us take turns.
I used to think that the school did not notice these issues, but they must've really. I feel like the bullying should have been really obvious if the same kids were doing it every day.
Anyway, I still cry sometimes about how this school messed me up, wrecked my self confidence, made me think I was worthless. The bias the teachers had towards students was astounding. I was so excited to start highschool, never to think about this dump every again. | | | By Employee - 18 Sep 2020, Rate: excellent | | I taught for 10 years in this school in the 1980's- it was an excellent school then- what on earth has happened? | | | >>More reviews... | |
