    Lovely school

    I worked here as a relief teacher for some years on and off. Great experience, a well functioning school, dedicated teachers and management that’s deals with issues like bullying. Known for its fantastic Arts dept, Outdoor Ed trips, Horticulture garden and courses. It puts in a great dance showcase and excellent productions every year. A good Pride group too. Your children will get a good academic and well rounded education here, a safe space to be educated.

    The silent sad mime

    I did science and nearly burnt the school down. I also learnt how to play the guitar and went back to 1985 to the Nayland dance and recreated Johnny b goode.

    Nayland review

    Nayland college has good classes. I loved cooking, woodwork, carving leadership and other classes. Most of the teachers are very friendly and nice. I'm currently in my 3rd year at nayland college. I'm not very excited for exams but I think that everything else will be ok. To anyone in year 9 you don't need all the math books they make you get, I got 3 math books in year 9, I'm currently going in to year 11 and will be using the third one this year. You will be using the laptops more in year 10 than year 9

    Not bad, certainly not great.

    Teachers were okay, sometimes. Some are mean and will waste your time sending you to their higher-ups without even taking the time to just talk to you about things, which I found sort of childish? They need to start treating senior students (mainly year 12/13s) with more respect and freedom, I found that as a 17/18 year old with some degree of maturity and independence that I was still treated like a child and or criminal :) Not sure if that’s just a general high school thing or not but it stil...
