One of her teachers told her off for having a blood test appointment during lesson and needing time off despite this having been prearranged and agreed with the ALS team at the start of term. The teachers don’t seem to check their online portal to know what care needs are in place for individual students or accommodate them. It appears the ALS team have little or no influence over what goes on with the Alevel department and my daughter has had no communication from them since starting college.
They don’t seem to know how to handle a 16 year old which is an irony because they are in this profession. One of the management team seems to have unfairly targeted my daughter as she continuously talks down to her and treats her like a child which my daughter doesn’t like and she stands up to her which this woman doesn’t like. This person proceeded to give my daughter a hard time for having an appointment the day after her exam as she couldn’t attend an extra session that she hadn’t been informed about. Note her appointment had been prearranged for in her own time too and no it couldn’t be changed.
Communication seems particularly poor and it seems to be a blame culture from teachers. They don’t seem to treat them with the respect they deserve as young adults. They are young and impressionable and won’t learn and grow in this kind of adult environment. I must say so far I have been disappointed by this college and contrast this to when my daughter was at secondary school and had a great deal of support put in place.
