Horizon Community College Dodworth Road, Barnsley S70 6PD

"Avoid this school at all costs - they do not care about the students."

"There is a particular PE teacher who likes to punish students buy removing them from class rooms and hold them back from education for the slightest wrongdoing. He will place them into a room called reflection to do something called knowledge organiser, this only disrupts the students from learning their subjects. he particularly targets certain kids, he will do this to them again and again bringing them further and further behind. Watch out for this school if your child is slightly troublesome because they will learn nothing here."

"coming form a student: i go to this school and i honestly hate it so much the wellbeing of all students is not looked after even when they say they invents 500,000 into mental-health care for context my grandma was very sick: i get sent us and they do nothing not even give me someone to talk to there was no one else up there and they didn't even come get me even why they said they would my friends have had bad experiences with bullying and they have done nothing they care more about if you have dangly earrings or if your tights are the wrong shade than actually teaching kids don't see my self getting far with this school and i've only see my mental health decrease since i joined wish i could give 0 stars but i gust cant PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T SEND YOUR KIDS THEY WILL BE VERY MISERABLE"

"I personally went to this school and it has absolutely no support when it comes to a child's wellbeing. I have been bullied at this school numerous times and even when you report the incident to a member of staff, the school will not do anything about it. All they care about is a child's grades to uphold a smart reputation amongst other schools. They like to class themselves as the "Best School in Barnsley" even though this cannot be further from the truth. They do not offer any serious consequences towards students that have bullied someone even if they do something as bad as cutting part of their hair off. I know that it may be difficult for a school to punish a child severely but in many cases it is well deserved. Do not send your children to this school if you want them to stay happy."

"Please think long and hard about sending your kids here for education. Although they do get good grades (mainly because that's all the school care about) the bullying is absolutely ridiculous! My daughter has short hair and has numerous times been called a boy. The school take it on board then do absolutely nothing to combat this bullying. The next thing that happens about this situation there will be an article in the local newspaper to raise awareness of this schools lack of professionalism when it comes to bullying."
