CONNECTION WITH QE: Current student

I've spent the best part of half a decade at QE now, and regrettably, the experience has been thoroughly unpleasant.  The institution has a Victorian attitude to education; one afro-carribean boy has been excluded from school indefinitely for having hair of too short a length, and will only be accepted back when it grows back.  Senior members of staff act thoroughly unprofessionally in their attitude towards students; insults hurled by senior members of staff towards vulnrable children in the past include 'lowlife scum'.  QE might get you the grades- but this is due to the hard work of the teachers at ground level.  On a senior level, including members of staff on higher posts (and much higher salaries) there is a culture of sanctimony and arrogance.  It is an institution obsessed with money, and was recently criticised by the government for placing undue pressure on parents to contribute.  This school needs to shape up and come into the 21st Century.
