Selby High School

I am a pupil at Selby High School, School is meant to be the best years of your life but so far they have not. Your trying to run a private school which is not working, Your adding new rules to the school which is making us all unhappy and we all go home in a bad mood from the day we have had. Selby High school use to be a good place to work but now its nothing but a joke.

love this school its the best ever and i actually like the 1 way system

My time here was a living hell, since I was a young child I ve had serious speech and language issues, and learning difficulties, I was diagnosed with Autism aswell and what support did I receive?, none!, in class often I recall been shouted at like someone had died just because I didn't understand what the teacher was saying I was then often sent out for apparently disruptive behaviour and been cheeky and what not, most of the subject teachers would do this expecting me to understand and know the answer, they d mock me and try embarrass me just because I was so dam useless at the time, I requested the higher ups to let my teachers know of my issues this only worked for a few days then my teachers became really disrespectful again, i was afraid to ask for help in class because of the teachers reaction, i requested not to have an assistant teacher with me after been bullied for it, I was always given isolation, detentions, I was made to stand in front of the school when everyone was eating dinner or lining up for fire tests which got me so much more unwanted attention this happened because I was been punished for my so called bad behaviour, despite been a really really nice guy probably the nicest person someone will ever meet, If i didnt complete the massive amounts of challenging homework I received for someone of my capabilities I was made to miss my lunches and go hungry, these issues of mine got me bullied aswell other students would hit me all the time, they d always swear at me, some even tried to steal from me and when I reported all of this it blew over the teachers heads they didn't care if I was lucky they d have a word with the bully and even then it wasn't even lucky because they d make it so obvious that I had reported it so the bullying continued and got worse, eventually this was the last straw I told the staff I was gonna start hitting back they warned me about how i d get punished i didnt care and i started to have some fights i would have had lots more if i had more confidence at the time, but my confidence was dreadful, i started hitting back and I was given week long isolations and the other person who would hit me first would only get a couple of days max this was on repeat I d have a fights every few weeks and the outcomes always the same me getting punished lots worse than the bully, I started avoiding class and refusing to learn hiding in the toilets crying, I would have put my foot down more often if I had the confidence, Uniform was another issue you have to have the 100 percent correct shoes and a blazer with the logo on, my Father said he couldn't afford the correct clothing for all his kids so when I went to school with the wrong shoes or the wrong blazer I was yelled at the gates and refused entry aswell as other students, black shoes weren't even okay if they weren't the right make it was crazy and if you were allowed in after pleading with the staff you d be made to stay away from everyone all day, isolation seemed to be the answer for everything, detentions on the spot for tie not been straight or shirt not tucked in, despite living 20 miles away and sometimes been late I still got into trouble like it's my fault my parents made me late, 5 yrs of hell this was my school life ,I wouldn't recommend this school to people with special needs, after I left the school my brother and sister who dont even have special needs they faced similar problems they always came home unhappy and stressed and always ranted on about the same strict rules, many of the teachers were dreadful but Mr Sinclair stood out as the worst he s a problem for the school not the solution

Don't get me wrong the teachers do their jobs really well so they are fine. but its the punishment system that needs to change. Putting people on a stage for everyone to look at is NOT okay. Bin duty WITHOUT GLOVES is also NOT okay. From what i have heard from other people i know , the people who found the "5p glitch" (as i have heard it called) are in isolation and the people who abused it and put £40 on using 5p's arent? The isolation boxes are apparently tiny with no room to move at all. 2 star for having good teachers but pad ways of dealing with things

Nothing but a joke. Stupid rules stupid school. Get rid of mr sinclair and it would be such a happier place for students.
