Radyr Comprehensive School

The education is quite good but most the children are absolute idiots and the teachers don't care about you

The students here are horrible

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.

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