St Mark's West Essex Catholic School

Worst school in Harlow. First of all, they make it look all nice and force their students to smile in each photo you see. But really it’s not as nice as you expect. They say that the school is friendly and everyone is united together and stuff, but when you actually are a student you will find yourself in detention for pointless things for example, looking at a pizza bread. Really? Spending your time at break or lunch for looking at pizza bread? Are you serious? Also, apparently fast-walking is running, so if you are fast walking, you get sent to D7 ( basically detention.) Also, when ofsted visited St Marks, the teachers suddenly put on an act so they seem like they are really nice. As well as that, they keep telling people to be safe near roads. But they literally have one of the unsafest road crossings. If you are considering to take your child to this school, please, think again. Wish I could give a lower rating than one star.

Had a wicked experience there yay (sarcasm)...............not as the environment was small, lack of space, bullies dominated every space, teachers were lazy never cared about pupils welfare as they only care about the high exam results the pupils they expect to achieve just to boost up the image.

My mate goes there and he said it is brilliant all the teachers are nice to everyone the school just got done up with new toilets and red boaarding around the school and if you look on the school review website it is in the top 15 and the others are all grammar schools

I was one of the first students to step though the doors back in 1966- they were still laying floorboards. Some very good academic teachers, but there were one or two who were chosen for their religious observance rather than abilities. The head at the time and his deputy were uncannily like the characters from 'Please Sir.' There was some corporal punishment there which is what teachers who lack strategies do but then the standards were OK. The building was clad in copper, which was supposed to go bight green (verdigris) like buildings in London. But it's pollution that causes the copper to change, and Harlow, even then, was a smokeless zone.

Pleas avoid this school . This school can be considered a concentration camp.

My mum said it was a good school but it turned out that she was wrong as I did not have a good experience as there were teachers who think they know everything while looking down at their students, especially those that are not academically bright. Plus there were students who go round thinking they were hard and act as if they own the school as well as experiencing racial slurs from some students. Not to mention the school was small and I did not like the environment at all. But the only good thing was leaving.

It’s like alright I guess but some of the teachers are quiet rude but some of the others are alright my favourite teacher right now is Mrs Kohdadeen she teaches me for maths she is very nice and overall it’s a really good school but sometimes the teachers shout for unnecessary reasons and sometimes if you don’t have money on your lunch account they don’t let you go to minus and they refuse to let you take anything, I like this school alot but some of my experiences are bad some are good .also miss long is quiet rude for no reason but she can be nice sometimes. Thankyou bye
