Highbury Grove School

DON'T SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!

Boys grabbed me and slapped my behind continuously even after I gave them a dirty look. Reported it, had to keep asking about the progress of it only to be told after about a week that they "can't do anything without video evidence". And this isn't the only time they ignored my/anyone else's allegations. I called the school out on twitter later on after I left, and they blocked me because I was telling the truth. They lie and promise students and their parents a safe educational environment but yet for the longest time I was made to feel like what happened to me and my friends didn't even matter. I would complain about them doing nothing about the issue then I would get shouted at and told "complaining about it isn't going to make anything happen". They were so quick to punish students with dyed hair or an untucked shirt with detention, isolation, exclusion; essentially missing out on what they love to say is 'important education', 'your future', over things that ACTUALLY don't matter. But when their students feel unsafe because of their own classmates, they're told the school can't do anything because apparently we should've recorded it. And it wasn't just students this would happen to! Several TEACHERS have reported sexual harassment, homophobia, sexism etc. but we all know where those reports they would make you fill in went. In the bin.

Part of the Anaconda Swimming Club suite of training pools - not available to the public but if you have kids in the Islington area this is a fantastic pool to learn in. Only 15m long but deep enough to dive in - within the school grounds and recently refurbished as part of the upgrade to the school. Small groups and great value.
