I go to Nonsuch, and I can honestly say it is an amazing school. I have read some of these reviews, and can reassure you that what Nonsuch is potrayed as here is NOT true. First of all, about Nonsuch being sexist in dress code in mufti and uniform is a lie, we have trousers and are allowed to show heels. We are also encouraged to wear good durable shoes so yes, they are strict about that but I don't see the problem, they are trying to do what's best for you. On the make-up point, Nonsuch just wants you to focus on being happy and healthy, and with make-up you spend excess time on how you look, even if it's just for you. There is another one about Nonsuch 'forcing' you to join sports clubs which is just ridiculous. If Nonsuch is encouraging heath for well being I don't see what is wrong. Yes, sometimes you don't have a model teacher, no school is perfect, and even the worst teacher can teach the subject fairly well. Another one, about Nonsuch giving you stress and depression, I can tell you Nonsuch has excellent mental health care, with reliable, trustable teachers who will help you or an easily found councellor who comes in once a week. If it comes down to stress, don't blame it on Nonsuch, they do everything they can to lessen stress, end of the day it's up to you on how you feel! And if Nonsuch isn't worth the 'hassle' or 'going through the 11+', go to another school if you don't like Nonsuch, they try their best, and it honestly isn't their fault for numerous budget cuts! Don't let these people who haven't even properly BEEN to Nonsuch how Nonsuch is, honestly they try their very best and I love going there!
A outstanding school, with plenty young, bright minds who are ready to learn. The school constantly challenges the students and helps them to excel in their learning. Their are thousand of activities to participate in and they offer facilities that anyone can use and enjoy. All in all, an amazing school.
I think what people need to understand is, if your daughter is not able to keep up or is just not right for the school don't send her therPlease don't feel that just because it is a grammar school and your daughter is bright, it means that you should send her there. Nonsuch is a place for hard working students who can take a lot of pressure, and they are naturally bright.They do offer many sports clubs and have nice grounds to hold them in. Just remember, it is a good school for the right people.
Parents, listen up. Nonsuch seems like an alright school - it's not, I came in in year 7 completely fine and confident, right now I've never felt as stressed out or alone in my life. The faculty only care for the students' grades and overall performance, they don't care for the students' happiness or well-being. It doesn't matter if you want to be an illustrator or a chef, we're gonna force you to join a sports club because you have to get involved in school life. On the subject of clubs, there isn't a wide range of them, only major sports and a few others that have nothing to do with sports. However, those other clubs aren't considered clubs unless they're music clubs so how only really have a choice between choir or netball. Like I said earlier, I went in fine. Now I have depression. Make smart decisions.
I am absolutely disgusted at the way this school treats its pupils! They are constantly punished for ridiculous reasons such as wearing ankle socks. Rules are there to make sure students are not distracted from their learning, however I fail to see how wearing ankle socks could affect this. It is meant to be a place of education, yet teachers care more about appearance and how much makeup you have on. Makeup gives girls the confidence which allows them to express themselves. They should not be punished for being insecure, but instead helped by teachers. I have heard reports of a rat infestation within the school and was horrified to hear that a dead rat was found in a cupboard, identified by the ghastly smell that engulfed the room. maybe the school should be more concerned about that, rather then punishing students wearing ankle socks. lastly, i fail to see why the dress code for mufti day is so sexist. why is it that in a boy school, the students get away with wearing anything, but girls have to completely cover themselves up, not being allowed to show their shoulders, or ankles. As an all girl school they should be encouraging the girls to fight against injustices such as sexism, but it seems they only care school reputation.
