John Ruskin College

"Its a time wasting guys dont ever thinking about coming here, the teachers just waste your time by doing nothing, if you want to see progress in you life just stay home, trust me is better than coming here."

"Beware there is a dangerous alcoholic course "instructor" named "Mark Mclees", he teaches the "rail engineering" course. His mouth is as foul as a sewer & has irregular mood swings at his students! I reported him to the college & did not get a reply..."

"My Son has been at John Ruskin College for 18 months now and I have to say all the staff I have had dealings with so far have been friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about their students and subjects. With current online learning (due to Covid 19) the teachers and support team have been second to none and are constantly at the end of an e-mail if help is needed. With this help and support my Son (who doesn't find learning easy) passed his Sports course last year and has just passed his GCSE Maths. If this is your local College give them a chance, you may be pleasantly surprised?"

"John Ruskin- "Your career ENDS here" I currently studied at John Ruskin for 3 years AWFUL place if I could I wouldn't give a single star. Most of the reviews on here are from previous students who played a role in the student council being asked by staff to put a "good" review to out weigh the bad. Teachers are hired without qualifications (These teachers bullying students) leading to poor agency staff taking control possibly 9/10 different teachers in one academic year. There was no supplies for students who worked hard but disrespectful students who never turned up, never worked hard and had a bad attitude was taken to winter wonderland, how does this relate to there course subject? No supplies lead to students having to fork out hundreds of pounds to even get a good grade how does someone with a low family income suppose to make there future brighter? Students where forced to pay £88 at the beginning of the Level 3 year 2 course this money was suppose to be put towards stationary for the students and organised trip, this amount of money bought me no trips, a rusty used folder 2 cheap sketchbooks which I didn't use due to only needing folders for my course, pencil, pen and a glue. This stuff would cost you £20 maybe less in WHSmith but go to John Ruskin and get ripped off. When students did express there concern, you would only get turned away and nothing will be done about it oh apart from the teacher that would then bully you even more. I have had to remain anonymous due to the college previously blackmailing if we didn't sign a "contract" my course place will be removed this will then lead to myself with no qualifications. This contract spoke of lies and was used against students. No matter how hard you work John Ruskin still believe you are the worst person on the earth."
