Carterton Community College Reviews

Do not send your children here if you can possibly avoid it. Experienced staff began leaving en masse in 2022 following the 'Good' OFSTED rating, and it's been a total mess of unqualified supply teachers and revolving-door staff ever since. The school fails not only its children but also its community on a daily basis.
Nothing about this school is enjoyable. I would suggest not sending your children or getting a job here. Teachers and headteacher are very abusive to the majority of kids and especially talking to parents over the phone. Not a good school at all. And not a very good environment to be in.

The school is terrible they don’t care about their students metal health, all the teachers care about is the uniform and the teachers can’t keep control of the kids. My daughter wants to move schools because of this reason the school is ridiculous!
