Terrible organisation poorly structured. Not all members of staff are unprofessional but there is definitely and element of incompetence and lack of life experience within the permanent staff at this particular establishment. Communication to students is extremely poor.
A full detail of my experience attending this college about 2 years ago, Ended up leaving after only a couple months.nnMy business teacher was Mrs Emma. At first my classes were okay, although later on I would come about 5-15 mins late. Maybe more than too often. One day I came about 30 minutes late since I lived near more on the rural side of the area, my buses were all almost cancelled everyday or blocked off to the garbage trucks. They are blocked off for more than a hour sometimes. My bus got cancelled.nnit was a project day that me and other people in my group works on. No student had started doing any work yet. My teacher was NOT in class, she was outside. She saw me coming in late from outside, i told her im stressed out, my bus got cancelled i got caught in the rain, i was drying myself off, i was carrying 4 bags of workload of the project because no one else wanted to.nnshe could tell i was upset at my day so she called me out to her office. I thought that because she's a teacher she understands and sees I'm going through a lot. i had really bad concentration problems. I had assumed she noticed. But no, she asked me to come inside the office and quickly screamed at me for showing her 'attitude'.nni broke down and started crying in front of her as she continued yelling at me. I thought she would have stopped after i burst into tears telling her I'm struggling with depression and abuse and she told me these EXACT WORDS 'depression is not an excuse'.nshe didn't care.nnI was so shocked she said those words i could not handle it, i ran out of her office and back into class, crying. My classmates asked what had happened, I asked them if I had any way said anything rude to Mrs Emma and they all had said no, i was only explaining about my day.nnI am deeply upset at the unprofessionalism given by a teacher, and the lack of emotional support for her own students. The next day, She looked me and said 'don't u have anything to say to me'. I purposely picked a fight with her and exposed her to the class about what she said to me, and she LIED and said 'dont twist my words, i never said that, i will call the committee on you for ur lies' she threatens to call the committee so i left her class.nnI was super shocked, because I was extremely angry she pretends she never said what she said. I am almost certain even after 2 years of the incident, i still remember i WALKED OUT because of what she had said. Instead of comfort and help, she yelled at me.nnNow I know that being late is considered rude. But it is extremely hard for someone with diagnosed severe depression to even get up in the morning and try. i cannot sleep, i cannot eat, i cannot get up. This is what i was struggling with and this incident made my experience a lot worse.nnWhat was very interesting was the biasedness in how she treated me compared to other white kids. They would come HOURS late to class, and she would EVEN greet them happily and be super kind to them, not sure if its because im asian??? she complains if i come 5 mins late. I could tell she did NOT want me in her class at all.nnThen it escalated, I could not even show up to the college. My attendance was 30%, my issue with the teacher had gotten worse with how she dealt with it. Instead of understanding my depression and giving encouragement, she came to me and told me it doesn't matter. and that school was more important than my health and she needed my attendance to go up. of course from there my attendance went even lower.nnI opened up to her praying she feels a bit of empathy. I begged her not to tell my parents about my mental health and she promised she wouldn't. School set up a parents meeting, She crossed the line and told them i was a mentally unstable 'person' She was the worst human i have had ever met.nnAbusive parents yelled at me for having depression, and I never came back to school, Did this solve ur problem? Mrs Emma, you are a terrible person, not even a teacher, not a mother. no emotions only for urself. i fell worse into depression, Wished people helped sooner.
Looks like some ''minority'' students are allowed to turn up for their grant money, do nothing except disrupting classes and threaten/bully teachers and staff.nnDirector/management knows about it yet does nothing, because she scores government money to host those ''minority'' students.nnYour slogan should be, ''profiteering over education''
Disruptive racist bully pupils allowed to get away with it! Disgraceful in this day and age not exceptional EKC deal with it
Terrible meeting with lecturers Jennifer Barron and Nick Weasley who sat in the room laughing at my son and I whist discussing taster days and adjustments due to EHCP
