Rokeby School Barking Road, London E16 4DD

"Whoever is looking for secondary schools this should be it Amazing job teachers are kind"

"I am a former student who had left this school in may 2021 i want to share my experience with any parents/carer who comes across my review I see this school as a complete lie This school says they want equality however thats only a front cover The students pick on the vunerable students, e.g they would make another peer who was some disadvantage do something silly such as saying something that would be offensive or make them say something that will cause a conflict Another point i have to make is that one time in p.e we had a joint session and the teacher from the other class said something to me however i couldn't hear however when i turned around he told me to go to the wall and sit down and face it and he said "if you ignore me again i will get every student in year 11 to come see you facing the wall like a child" this teacher was also my head of year. The teachers are also biased when it comes to two students in a conflict. For example if one student was scruffy and had bad grades they would choose the other student who had good grades and try to manipulate the scruffy student. Also in year 8 i had a supply teacher for spanish, the lesson was nice and calm. People were talking alot including myself however at the end of the lesson he let my peers leave one by one and i was the last and he looked at me and told me "if i ever talk in his lesson again he will beat the sh*t out of me" i know this seems far fetched but please believe me However i informed my form tutor about the situation and she somehow dealt with it So please parents/carers pls read this before sending your kids here They cut my grades in half and now im doing a course that is too easy for me"

"Excellent location along the main bus route. Close proximity to Canning Town Station. Wheelchair accessibility outside and within the building. Parking available on site. Friendly and helpful staff. All boys school from year 7 to 11."

"Space: clean, great tech, good facilities Teachers: thoughtful, compassionate Discipline: outdated approach that all schools use eg detention but they are trying to inspire ‘good’ behaviour Curriculum: teaching kids critical thinking which is a life skill Leadership: compassionate, feminist leadership which is imperative for our boys Some teachers need to be more thoughtful about diversity & inclusion. Understand your own intersectionality Don’t make assumptions about your pupils. Discrimination is about power not race. You have power as teachers, use it wisely."

"Its a great school with wonderful staff. I would give it a 4 stars because the school is a bit small but excellent in technology. Overall, one of the best boys schools in the country (also very religious)"
