Reviews of a School
These reviews highlight the diverse opinions of students about a school, with both positive and negative comments.
Buildings and Architecture
The school's buildings, previously part of the Sherborne Abbey Monastery, are a major attraction, with Matt Treasure praising the "beautiful architecture". This suggests that the school may be making an effort to maintain and restore its historic premises.
Education and Discipline
On the other hand, Maanas Avula had a poor experience with the school, claiming that it suspends students for no reason, saying it's "Bad. like Tarantula TV". This implies that there may be issues with the school's disciplinary policies or procedures.
