By the end of year 8 if they felt the students grades would not be high enough they ship the student of to CRC so the overall grade average for the school does not drop..
There idea of helping problem students is to shove them in isolation which is a room with no windows, they don't even give the students any proper class work to do, so they end up even further behind on their work.
Unfortunately my daughter experienced a lot of homophobia from her teachers and head of year to the point I had to pull her out of the Chesterton.
Much happier and more confident in myself since moving onto sixth form elsewhere.

I've just finished my first term at Oxbridge and can safely say the environment here is much less stressful than sitting GCSEs at Chesterton. I think that says everything about the senior leadership!
