I know there have been lots of threads about this school but I am only interested in hearing from people who have recent direct experience with the school (last 5 years)
DD wants to go there. She has an EHCP. Will she be put in lowest sets with the worse behave kids and be forgotten about?
I have always been of the impression that this school is good for kids that have a talent: academically, music or sport. Not so good for the rest.
Does the school have a strong discipline? Lots of detentions? Or do they have some freedom?
What is behaviour like?
Does it feel crowded?
What about opportunities for trips? Are they for everyone?
Are the teachers good? Caring? Probably too much to ask for a a school of 3k children.
Thanks in advance.
