Henrietta Barnet Sixth Form???

I'm thinking about going to Henrietta Barnet for Maths, Bio and Chem but I'm not sure for sixth form. How is the stress load, work load and drama between people? Not sure if I want to go since it's 45mins by public transport but will go if it's worth it.

Hi! I know students that go to this school. Let me tell you it’s all a facade. They build the school up purely from their heavily tutored students - it has nothing to do with their teaching. The maths teacher is AWFUL - she has an awful Russian accent that no one understands. Every single student of hers has private tuition because they cannot understand her.
There is sooooo much mental health problems amongst the students. Lots of my friends are leaving as it’s ridiculously bias and poor overall. One of my friends had her chances ruined by one of her teachers that didn’t like her - she was predicted a low grade even though she’s a straight A student! Her parents took it up with the headteacher but they have this toxic culture of protecting their staff so did nothing to help my friend. She now has to rely on clearance or even take a gap year. The parents know not to complain as it’s literally no use.
I wouldn’t go to the school, if you can get into woodhouse college or even a better state school like St Gregory’s it would be better.
