Terrible school would not recommend some teachers show little to no respect to the children

This school contributed in giving my child brain damage rather than giving him knowledge

As a parent of a child with ADHD most of these teachers need training on how to deal with it. Instead of marking everything down as 'bad behaviour' and then making that child build up a load of behaviour points until he gets kicked out of school for a week, this becomes a pattern until it comes a 'cause of concern' is this the right school for him meeting?. No, it's because the right strategies haven't been put into place. The advice from professionals wasn't followed correctly, i.e Drumbeat and others. When a child recognises teachers are pinpointing them, they will play on this, so it doesn't help them. Getting angry against a child with ADHD makes it worst. This is why I state these teachers was not trained to deal with it. However, my son was not severe with his ADHD as much as the school wanted to state he was. His diagnosis report doesn't state severe. The school always thought they knew best more than me. Especially THE SEN team. They always looked down on me especially when they found out my son wasn't medicated. I experienced nothing but stress throughout the whole time my son attended this school, the times he was good, it wouldn't get noticed and I wouldn't get informed and my son picked up on this, these things matter to a child. I am not saying my son never misbehaved, but I don't think the way teachers dealt with it helped at times. My son made a lot of mistakes and choices but that was apart of his growing up but I understand the school has their policy and procedures to follow, but to promise him to let him finish his studies at the school even though he was excluded, as he was working from home, being excluded a month prior to leaving, then not incluing him in the graduation, I find that very disgusting and appalling. I write this review as a very hurt parent and I am hoping that no other parent has to suffer the way my son did with the help of needs with their ADHD or any other needs, hopefully it will be a walk in the park for you.

5 star for the lads

As far as we are concerned, FH is a great school. It came highly recommended by a family local to us and 4 years in, we have no regrets having chosen the school. Their acceptance of all is tangible and they go to great lengths to express it. The boys have access to so much if they choose to take the offers up: library, music studios, after school clubs and sports. Of course, like every school, FH has its challenges but Mr Sullivan and his supportive team appear to rise to the occasion every time. We were for example pleased with how quickly they navigated the challenges brought on by COVID and have always felt confident that the 'young men' are the school's priority. In our experience, the teachers and head's of year are responsive, connected and know who our boys are. As parents, we appreciate their efforts and are happy to support them in educating our children.
