How this school is still running with years of inadequate. High turn over of staff with children completing only half their work. Those who struggle are not helped just moved to lower classes which gives them no self esteem. The award system is just for those who look like they are behaving. No encouragement for those struggling. Non attendance due to bullying and struggling and no reward for making an effort to attend. Poor learning...

Review Stantonbury School

The school is a very distracting place for me, I can barely focus, I鈥檝e had negative experiences in year 7 and 8 because I was bullied, there are fights almost everyday now and honestly it鈥檚 a toxic environment.
