Millais and Bohunt in Horsham - any views?

[Chelseanutter]

Hi everyone, we are currently looking at secondary schools in Horsham, West Sussex. Does anyone have any views of Bohunt or Millais? We liked both, but it seems Millais has a reputation of bullying and as Bohunt is so new, there aren’t many reviews. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks you x

I have had two daughters at Millais and I certainly wouldn't choose it again. My younger daughter is now in year 11 so we are hanging on till she finishes but have not been happy with it.
Poor response to bullying, poor provision for SEN and mental health support, despite some tragic student suicides there in recent years. And more recently a teacher sent to prison for sexually assaulting a student.
Have heard mixed reviews of Bohunt. What about Forest? It's now mixed, I have a son there and have been delighted with it so far. The headteacher, Ian Straw, is fantastic, quite inspirational.

Thanks for your response Tattychicken, my daughter really liked Millais when we looked at it but I had my reservations because of things that I'd heard. Bohunt was her second choice, and it is right around the corner from us, but of course, it's so new there isn't a lot of information about it. She liked Forest too, but my younger son wants to go to Bohunt so it would just be easier for us. I hate making such a big decision, I'm a single mum with no input from her dad, it's stressing me out! Thank you for taking the time to respond x
