Radyr Comprehensive School

This School is probably the worst school in Cardiff. The teachers have not got a clue how to control the children and their behavior. My Daughter has been bullied by fellow students for well over a month now and nothing has been resolved. I feel like nothing will ever change they are more worried about the end of year Estyn report than actually tackling problems professionally. It's now at the stage where I have to get the police involved.

The students here are horrible

Communication is awful. Children get detention for school uniform infringements, but not for using mobile phones in lessons. Some toilets don't have doors.

good.

Great school! Great atmosphere! Enables kids to develop their education in the correct way

The wprst scool in the world

Well-being support is good. Communication is poor. Some teachers reply to messages, but others do not. No support is given to those with minor learning difficulties. Teachers become increasingly elusive when support is needed with controlled assessments, in some cases timing them so that they cannot be contacted at all. The English Dept is particularly poor, relying too heavily on software packages and self-learning and not enough on written practice. The Maths and Music departments are strong. A number of parents find it necessary to use tutors to help their children to reach their potential. Recently the school sent out a letter appearing to promote the use of tutors. KS3 children are supposed to have 5 hours of homework a week. In reality this is usually closer to 1 hour. Most subject books are handed in for marking once every half term, so feedback is poor. Children are happy at the school.

Very good school my daughter is flying there!
