terrible school that doesn't do anything about the concerns for its students and currently i am a year 10 student and the pressure put on us by the teachers when we are slightly behind doesn't just affect us and our behavior it affects the parents behavior as well. for example my parents used to be helpful and calm but now they are horrible to me everytime something happens they email the parents saying like it was a mass murder every time. do not send your children here!!!!!!! read more

This school is a really bad option. As a student currently studying their GCSEs here, it's absolute madness. There are so many things I can talk about that makes the school not good, like how the school pressures us so much to be 'the best', which we are not able to do. Another thing is the population of the school. There isn't enough space for all of us, and so finding spare rooms or something is hectic, and it's near impossible to get from classroom to classroom. Not only this, but trips have lessened and/or became worse over the years. What I mean by this is that in year 7, I went Thorpe park. From that moment on, trips have become less often, and aren't very good. In the entire 5 and a bit years, I have been at this school, I have been on 3 trips, whereas my younger sister (who goes bullers and has been there for 4 and a bit years) has been to many different places, I lose count. Also, may I complain about our old Headmaster, Mr Paul Murphy. He was the nicest person actually in that school, and he goes all behind our backs and did what he did. No one knew about this. Linking back to the school wanting us to be 'the best', they make sure that all their students are behaving perfectly when Ofsted comes, and if not they will punish severely. If Ofsted wasn't there, none of that would happen. The school basically lies to the council to make sure the school stay open. And my final point is bullying. I have been a victim of bullying and loneliness and anxiety all my life, since year 2. I thought that it would all change when I went to TRS, but it got worse, and there was no one to help me. The most recent case is where boys were calling me a very rude name (I will not say, it may upset..) and it took the school 2 months to actually decide to do something about it, which I think is shocking. So, i warn you now. DO NOT SNED YOUR CHILD HERE!! read more

A school that has a grand décor to it, mostly. I spent the earlier parts of my secondary school life here and it felt a little like Hogwarts! It used to be a boys grammar school so it was very posh and detailed. There were of course new buildings added to it when it turned into a public school which didn't matter to me too much as that's all I knew. This school didn't have the best facilities and the look of it made up much more of it's appeal than the teaching and facilities. The great hall was my favourite part to this school as it was very grand indeed, I always felt like I was walking around one of the English Heritage foundations or, again, was part of Harry Potter's crew! Some good greenery to the back of the school with a good astro-turf great for sport lovers. Not a bad school but out of the two I attended this wasn't the most pleasing for me. read more
