Students' view of the school
I think Royds is a good language college and the new performing arts block is amazing but some of the older blocks such as east need modernising. I like the idea that they have put in water vendors and I think it will help in summer, but the toilets are smelly and have bogroll stuck to the roof. Also people smoke in them. I think if they were changed and the bays then it would be a lot nicer. The nicest bit of east block is probably the palm court. All in all east block leaves a bit to be desired. West block is too small as well. The staff they employ are normally very good; you have the odd weird substitute but it's normally fine. My views on the behavior policy are also quite good. The p.b. system (personal behavior) is very good with verbal warnings, planner comments, detentions, isolations and exclusions. If you behave you don't get them; if you misbehave you do. This is good but sometimes it is used to the teachers' advantage. People have told me stupid reasons why they have got planner comments, like having a dirty shoe or shading the sea in the wrong colour. This is wrong and if a teacher gave me a planner comment for any of those I would be very annoyed. As you could imagine some of the teachers are funny and I enjoy doing work in their lessons, such as Mr Heylings and Mrs Henzby. The more I enjoy a lesson the better work I do. I would rate Royds School 8/10 all in all.
