Style over substance would be the best way to describe Wilmington Grammar school for boys. If I was a parent sending my son there I would think carefully; be under no illusions - if youre son does not make the grade they will not be allowed to stay on for sixth form; if they dont make the grade in their second year of sixth form they will be asked to leave. This of course is massively disruptive at a critical time in their education; it also knocks their confidence when they are forced to leave a school where they have spent five years and made good friends. Wilmington will take no responsibility for their students - they are more concerned with maintaining their overall exam results in a rather ruthless and desperate attempt to to keep up with Dartford grammar school for boys; widely recognised as the best grammar school in the area. Wilmington has always lived in their shadow.
I go to this school exceptional
They cant afford a new science block but they can upgrade language but ignore music ??? HMMMMMMM why is this? and all the business studies classrooms need to be wheelchair accessible. :) ok there im done!
Was good up until most the good teachers left RIP Slight
This school is OK, as long as you like rather scruffy environments. The teachers can be good (at times, it depends on their mood when they first meet you) however recent changes have left students confused, and without answers they still remain. The textbooks in some classes are EXTREMELY outdated, going from as far back as 1996 at one point, and the "Concequence" system is somewhat difficult for some parents to understand. Some kids are extremely "rough" and bad language is not looked upon too much.Again, some lessons are good, some are bad. Go ahead and test your luck.P.S: The only "fun" week at the school (Enrichment WEEK) has been reduced to 3 days. Hooray.
