Most over subscribed non-selective in the area.
Just didn't get 'the vibe'.
I found it really odd we were herded round in groups with a deputy head, not allowed anywhere near children, unable to observe classes; three teachers pulled out of classes to talk to the group of us in the corridor.
Display work lifted from the internet and laminated.
At lesson change we were shuttled off to the edge of the playground ostensibly to look at the expansive sports field.
I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would send their child there, let alone 700 boys clamouring for 210 places. Utterly puzzled. it was almost like they were hiding something. The devil bit me and I asked about disabled access and was told 'we don't have those children, last one we had was 7 years ago' . Thoroughly bizarre experience.
Another parents said to me 'Isn't it me thats supposed to be chosing a school for my child - they make me feel like they are vetting me'.
