@oldandrewuk @ex_hps @SamuelVimes10 @schooltruth @H_P_S_Official @guardian probably bc you're deliberately downplaying+mocking issues that you have no knowledge or understanding of, taking them out of context to try belittle the very serious allegations made.

[- @FbDp5m]

@oldandrewuk @ex_hps @SamuelVimes10 @schooltruth @H_P_S_Official @guardian what exactly do these undercut? the school was regularly racist and classist to the students. the uniform cost over £200 and if someone couldn't afford it they were made to go home+miss out on education, or to stand outside in the sun for several hours.

@oldandrewuk @ex_hps @SamuelVimes10 @schooltruth @H_P_S_Official @guardian ok. we would line up for up to the entire lunch period+some people would not eat. £80mil building w a tiny canteen, wasteful amounts spent on fancy meals for posh visitors for appearances, you see the problem? it's in context of a school that underprioritised students

short statement (1/2)

[Fiona Millar @schooltruth]

Genuinely puzzled about why the leadership of @H_P_S_Official governing body doesn’t at least acknowledge the ex students concerns following my @guardian story this week.

[Ex Student HPS @ex_hps]

None of this is done at Holland Park School. The SLT use uniform policing as a thin veil to cover their desire to make children feel ashamed of their bodies. Girls who rolled up their skirts are likened to prostitutes, bellowed at, publicly named and shamed. It's a disgrace.

[No More Exclusions #Free 🇵🇸 @NExclusions]

“Ermak says he was never given a written reason why he was not allowed on Holland Park’s premises. “I was technically excluded from school without being excluded. I want to share my story so that other people do not go through the same thing.”

[No More Exclusions #Free 🇵🇸 @NExclusions]

“One ex-pupil, Obai Ermak, describes his time at the school as “brutal”. Following a mental health breakdown halfway through year 12, & despite a psychiatrist’s report stating that he should return 2 school, he says the school called him & said he wasn’t allowed on the premises”

“Ofsted: Off-rolling by schools was not clearly flagged up | Tes”. So hard to work out in whose best interest this behaviour is! I wonder which trusts/schools benefitted? https://t.co/rkYUyxDqEm

[Ex Student HPS @ex_hps]

@RBKC must remove Di Donaldson from power. HPS students are attesting to her abusive behaviour, so why does she work in safeguarding? It is bad enough that she was allowed to flourish under the leadership of Colin Hall - but there, abuse was openly encouraged. Are you the same?

[- @FbDp5m]

thank you, very unfortunate to hear she has even more power. di donaldson is an absolute disgrace. extremely prideful and vindictive to the students she is meant to protect. I have already submitted my testimony without her name, but will try to amend this for accountability.

[Ex Student HPS @ex_hps]

I am so sorry this happened to you. Sadly, Di Donaldson is now 'Safeguarding Lead for Schools and Education' at RBKC. Who do we turn to when the people who are meant to protect us are set on harming us? Please consider sumbitting a testimony to @StudentCollect3. Solidarity❤️

@FbDp5m Mr Hall legitimately thought he could erase our working class backgrounds with blazers and century gothic

[- @FbDp5m]

me + my sibling were "off-rolled". we had missed some school to escape an abusive family member threatening our safety. school didn't care one bit. affected us for years, especially my sibling who was in the middle of their gcses and ended up missing 2 years of school bc of this.

Disturbing use of 'off-rolling' to sideline mental health, sexual abuse victims by @schooltruth
Very familiar findings w/ @KalwantBhopal off-rolling used to sideline BAME and particularly GRT families experiencing racism https://t.co/9KB58TtJpP

[Grace Carroll @gracecarroll]

I went to Holland Park years ago and it was a toxic and horrible environment even then, with no concern for students wellbeing. Everyone knew that Colin Hall regarded the school as his own personal vanity project and didn’t care at all about the students that went there

[Sebastian Kraemer @sebkraemer]

"the school’s leadership encouraged excessive use of shouting as a form of discipline" @schooltruth https://t.co/oq7kTPaJ1q

[Grayn🇵🇸 @gr4yn_]

@schooltruth One of my friends who was there with me a few years back was shouted at by Colin hall and was also targeted for “being on benefits” and that colin hall paid taxes for those benefits. surely, you cant say that to people, let alone under 16 year olds. Baffling.

[- @FbDp5m]

literally the constant stream of classism and thatcher worship in that school... unreal

[𝓒𝓒♡ @la_guayabita_]

Did your state school headteacher give you an assembly about how great Margaret Thatcher was or was your school fucking normal

[gabso @gabso5]

@schooltruth awful memories-HPS ignored myself and daughters medical team. Child missed a year of school, then luckily moved to a hospital school. School wouldnt attend any meetings at hospital school. Hall later wrote me a letter to say it wasn’t any of his business, wouldn’t meet with me.
