St John The Baptist

As a parent, I feel that there isn't nearly enough parent involvement since covid. All of my friends have days where they are able to go to their children's school and volunteer , or to read to their class. (children as old as 4th grade). That doesn't happen here, which makes me think that they have more to hide. On several occasions I've driven by the school during recess and saw zero supervision. Assistants were either talking to one another or looking at their phones. Twice I saw strangers on the OTHER side of the fence talking to my child and other children, it's completely unsafe. The language that the teachers and TA's use with the students isn't appropriate at most times. I've been teaching for over 12 years, and no matter how stressed I was or how bad my day was going, I would never speak to a child in my class, they way that my child and his classmates have been spoken to. They don't do anything to promote kindness amongst their peers. No assembly, or kindness week/ month. I really wanted this school, and now I regret my choice.

It is the worst school. If you are considering putting your child there, please don't.

I am very disappointed at Rosemarie Ann Siragusa and its principal. My 4 YEAR OLD SON was bullied by another student in the class. The other student physically assaulted my son. He choked him and went as far as spitting on my son. I complained to the teacher and nothing was done except a meeting with the teacher. I am beyond disgusted by how me and my son was treated. Grade is pre K just FYI

Ever since our principle Mr. Brian entered the school , carnivals never happened again. Next, the school bearly has any events going on which really makes it even more bland then it already is. Also another problem i have with this school is that another bathroom has a broken sink. Next the school had so many kids that a lot of the school students had to be taught on the floor, which is not ideal. Finally, you shouldn't go to this school because it only supports K-8 which is sad because just when your kid is in 7th Grade they already have to go to another school. Another issue is fights, many kids have been RKO'ing each other and doing many things, the school really didn't do much of a effect about it. I have a suggestion about what other school you can go to that supports your child's endeavours is School 32, but you may want to read my review on that one.-Former Student of School 17

I have 5 children that study at this school and let me tell you that I recommend the school. My kids love it and they learn a lot. I see their progress day by day.

One of the worst schools in the UK most probably. My daughter has been attending this school since Reception and the biggest mistake I did was send her to secondary school here. She is now approaching Year 10 and the level of education is appalling. On top of this, the school has been given a Requires Improvement by Ofsted.Extremely high staff turnover and even the Head teacher has left and she was only in the school for 1 year!No homework, no support from any of the teachers.The teachers don't test the student's understanding before moving on to the next subject.Student's lack motivation coming here. Newham needs to see what is going on in this school and do something ASAP.So many unhappy parents and unhappy students.School doesn't listen to our thoughts. Everything gets swept under the carpet.No way on earth would I recommend this school.
