If I had to describe this college into three words, it would be: Full of crap. I went to this college with high hopes, thinking that it would be better than my old secondary school. It was worse. The first experience I had with the college was a few interviews, they showed me round the college and understood my mental health issues (or so I thought). They had promised me that they don't condone bullying and it will be handled immediately. I had previously been badly bullied in my secondary so when they promised me this I was quite relieved. My first day at this college was overwhelming. Which I understand first days can be stressful, the timetable was simple and it was easy to get around (at first). As the week progressed however people started talking about me behind my back. Something I didn't learn till one of my friends mentioned that someone had tried talking bad about me to them. I learned who this person was and immediately reported it to my tutor who said that it would be handled with. Over the span of the winter period things had not changed. As a matter of fact things got worse, I was starting to get harassed by a few students in the hallway and in classrooms. This lead me to report it and again they said "it would be handled with". In the meantime I swapped over to a new group for my course to be away from these few people that were harassing me. However this just made things worse as the group that I had joined was ahead of me in the course so I was really really far behind and I struggled really bad catching up. Cause I was so far behind on the course I noticed a change in my teachers behaviour which left a bad taste in my mouth. He started talking to me in a horrible and nasty tone and would give me really really bad looks. This really made me begin to hate the course. Time passed and the teachers just got worse with their attitude and their looks towards me. I no longer felt I could talk to them nor report any negative things from people. My mental health started to take an even bigger toll on me and I began not turning up to the college. I tried explaining to the teachers that my mental health was making it really hard for me to turn up but they just swiped it off their shoulders. I tried signing up for mental health sessions in the college but ultimately never heard back from them. Eventually I just gave up and stopped going to the college for weeks on end, my attendance went down and I just really didn't want to be there anymore. This lead me to my final straw and I just decided that I would not be going back there again. I signed up for a new college and said to myself that I would not be going back there ever again. This is just my experience there. I know some peoples experiences will be different, but if you care about your mental state then DO NOT GO HERE! read more

I left here in 2019 after my first year finished. I didn't come back for the second year. The college was terrible and the college is just overrated. In 2019 their vice principal at time Kelly Rinaldi was growling at me when I was walking past her in the corridor. I remember when they refused to let me do Level 3 and A Level courses I wanted to do there and yet they were people who were resitting English and Maths GCSE courses which they failed at secondary school doing Level 3 and A Levels courses. There were people who weren't eligible doing Level 3 courses or A Levels courses there. Yet Leon Riley has the audacity to say in his meetings that everyone in the college doing A Level or Level 3 courses have English and Maths. When staff members spit facts at him he tells them off when he is lying about it. Leon Riley and Kelly Rinaldi were both stooges. Leon Riley, Kelly Rinaldi and higher ups all harass teachers while the teachers are teaching their students in lessons when they are doing teaching inspecting. Tons of staff members have left the college due to bad management and new rules in the college because of this the college barely has staff members now. The only reason why they get good results is because they kick students off courses if they don't do well. There were some people in my classes from Lincolnshire areas who had no qualifications or had barely any qualifications who got into this college. They let in everybody from the catchment areas for the college. So don't listen to the false advertisements or PR about this college. Their secondary school Leggott Academy which was running for a few years got shut down because they got the worst GCSE results in England. For the year 2018 to 2019 when I was there the college barely got any students in the college due to losing tons of students to different colleges. Also I was at the enrollment day event in 2018 there were loads of students there yet most of them didn't go to college. There was this teacher Julie Huntington who had a stroke in class and the ambulance came to college. She had a stroke because of stress from Leon Riley, Kelly Rinaldi and higher ups. In my Level 3 Art BTEC class there were a large number of students in my class but near the end of the course there were five people in the class because everyone else either dropped out of the college or got kicked out of the college for attendance and low grades results. Just a heads up the creative arts department in John Leggott College is the only good department in the college and they get the best results every year. I was doing these courses Level 3 Games Development and Level 3 BTEC Computing at the college for a few months when I first started the college. The college kicked me off both of the courses halfway through the courses and I also did a bunch of work for those courses. I even wrote a 1000 word essay during my summer holidays for the Level 3 Games Development summer task what a waste of time. The college kicked me off these courses and yet there were people who weren't eligible for the courses due to their qualifications that were allowed to do these courses and they kicked me off. Steph and Gren are both plonkers and the media department is the worst department in the college. Gren was growling at me when I walked past him in 2018. Gren messed a lot of people around and myself due to making promises which he didn't deliver. I remember when I was in Hungerhill in 2018 he said I was accepted for Level 3 Games Development but then he and his media department changed their minds last minute while I was doing the course in a span of a few months. The funny part is now I have a HND in Games Development and a Degree in Games Development. I was in this GCSE Maths resit class here for a year which had a bunch of chavy teenagers in class being cringe, disruptive, problematic and acting like they were in secondary school. Half of a year of the GCSE Maths course I was doing the teacher Celia didn't show up to the lessons. She didn't want to do the lessons because her excuses was she was too busy doing A-Levels lessons and A Levels Maths students are more important. So the college brought in a bunch of cover teachers from schools and other colleges. The cover teachers didn't know what they were doing because nobody informed them what they were supposed to do. Due to Celia, Jamie and other staff members in the Maths department being so bad and teaching me all the wrong stuff which wasn't in the Maths GCSE exam papers. I ended up teaching myself and revising the topics the teachers didn't cover in lessons which were in Maths GCSE exam papers in my own time. I ended up dropping out of the college after my first year there when I was 17 due to the college messing me around several times and the college was atrocious. read more

This college has fundamentally broken me as a person. From the stress of teaching myself given the first year psychology teacher has consistently taught us the wrong information, to the lack of communication from the tutorial staff. This college is anyone's worst nightmare. The classrooms are a bare white box with nothing allowed up on walls, even clocks are being debated. You're only window bars away from a prison cell. I've had countless accounts of falling ill from the food, I choose the vegan options due to my milk allergy, however still consistently found myself getting unwell from lunches. You don't even know the meal until lunch time on the day. The communication here is worse than a chocolate teapot. Their funding goes to international trips and not things that NEED fixing. Did you know the E Block has no hot water and an ever running tap in at least the girl's bathroom? Oh! And how they won't even spend £85 to fix a pottery wheel for art students? But what they will spend money on?Paying teachers who time and time again have failed to teach students. At the start of my second year 63/80 students were failing psychology, many of those had the same first year teacher, that teacher would encourage students to quit their jobs to focus more on college, even neglecting medical procedures to get assignments she won't even mark in on time. The nerve. On top of that, the mental wellbeing team do nothing bug push students away and tell them to seek private counselling when they are approached with issues they are approached with. Similarly, their students tracking isn't all too great either. All year I've been signed up to a club I've never once turned up to because I've been too busy studying to catch up on what I've been failed with! This college calls itself one of England's best colleges (Principal's words when scouting students in China) but I would call it a glorified prison with a 16 hour break period each day to go home and study some more! Because if you think you know the content? No you don't! Seriously go somewhere, anywhere else if you value your or your child's sanity and wellbeing. Myself, like many others have lost who we are, losing hobbies, interests and losing the ability to see peaceand joy in life in fear of the next deadline. Worse than a psychological horror film. read more

John Leggot is a sixth form college that has been in Scunthorpe for many many years. It has had a major refurb in the recent years and now has a very 'uni' feel to it. The courses offered are incredibly wide ranging including A and AS levels. They also offer night classes in various subjects as well as some weekend courses. There is a severe lack of parking at the college and it is sometimes a struggle to find a space. read more
