safe to say this place destroyed my mental health and view on schools after an immense amount of trauma stemming from other UK schools. do not send your children here. i now struggle more then i ever have due to the lack of support for children like me.
this place turned me away and forced me back to lessons when I was in no state to return. i staying in self-reflection the whole day, i self reflected because i genuinely COULD NOT do that day. the lady who was also apart of my year team, sent me back to lesson for 5th period. I broke down. i didnr do anything. i was actually doing work in reflection thanks to being able to do my y11 revision at my own pace and giving myself a break. my pastoral support worker told my mother i was getting support all day from reflection bc i was allowed that. she thought i was okay only to have me come home in tears and in a horrendous state because of what happened. this place doesnt take teasing seriously, i got teased everyday bc i changed my name drastically. they didnt do anything about it. they did nothing about the girls who mocked me. this place also did nothing to support a fair few friends of mine with special needs, one suffered with severe anxiety and was forced to not take her GCSES and drop out because of this unhelpful school.
for the love of your children and their mental states. do not send them to launceston college.

Unless your child is very academically inclined this is the worst school I have come across after having 5 children all of whom have been well behaved in school mostly out of school but all kids have their days ! my youngest spent year 7 in this school it's stripped all of his confidence and gave him a speech impediment ! After changing to a different school he went back to his old self full of confidence and eager to learn, But on the upside one of my elder daughter's who was very academic done really well at this school she also did devizes to Westminster with the school and all though she passed all of her GCSE and went on to university the school left her a nervous wreck, she still sees a counsellor today 10 years later.

Very bad school, destroyed my mental health, the teachers are super rude and don't care about your mental health, my two brothers dropped out because of how mean the school was to them.

I cannot explain how bad of a experience I had here.. I wish I had moved,but I stayed because I was in fear of leaving my friends and just starting a school that?s not in my town. This school has HORRENDOUSLY ruined me physically and mentally and I 100% recommend DO NOT send any kid here,these been some of the worst years of my life here right now as I?m writing this we haven?t had school and I am slowly improved,I have more energy to shower and take care of myself,during the school week I normally am too exhausted to do that and spend all my time sleeping or in bed which leads to me having late homework bc I have no motivation,they?re going to add after school detention for those who didn?t do their homework. You?ll be seeing me there a lot launceston college won?t you? I hope you enjoyed ruining my life throughout the years I?ve been here. Thanks so much ?!

This school is something else,it?s horrible and too strict. Don?t send your kids to Launceston college it will ruin their mental health for all I know I might?ve gotten some sort of trauma from that school. I get nervous every time someone mentions a collar and I check if mine is out,even if I?m NOT wearing a shirt with collar,they really only care about ur uniform and how ur presented rather then your learning,yes they do their job and teach however they don?t think about visual learner or those with adhd or autism and any other sorts of things, you even can get sent to reflection for touching your equipment such as pens or pencils. Absolute nightmare to be in this school,I hope the others are okay.

This is horrible it ruined my mental health severely to the point I can?t even get out of bed,brush my teeth or wipe off my makeup I know this sounds unhealthy and lazy but genuinely before I came to this school I was never like this. As soon as I got on half term break I started to get slightly better,slowly but I was definitely better and now I?m in a HORRIBLE state again. Please don?t send your kids to this school,its absolutely ridiculous.

majority of the teachers only care about how ur uniform looks, if u don't answer a question you immediately get told off for 'not trying hard enough' or things such as 'you should have been paying attention'. i won't deny this, im a very shy person and struggle to speak to people, the teachers do not understand this and constantly try to tell me off, they never actually do smth to help me. in year 7 and 8 i constantly came home crying bc of bullying. again, the teachers did nothing. the rules r also stupid cz wdym u cant go to the toilet during lesson times. you could literally be pissing ur pants and they still wouldn't let u go, if u actually really needed to go u would have to go 'support'/triage after. you get told off for stupid reasons, the teachers dont care, the rules are strict. come to this school if u purposely wanna get mentally and verbally abused.

this school sucks man. they did this stupid path thing for gcses and made like half of year 10 do a language. far too much stress, teachers obviously don?t care about students mental health (except miss whitley she?s cool). they are genuinely far too obsessed with uniform and so many teachers have a strop whenever they see no collar. i reported bullies to my tutor teacher and she called me paranoid, and they lied when they said they were gonna have a meeting with me and my mum, it was just my mum. dr blackburn sucks, all of them suck honestly. only good lesson is art
