Myrtle Springs School was described as "the second-worst school in Sheffield" (after Newfield Secondary School), due to its poor attendance levels and behavioural quality as well as the low standard of GCSE results. Myrtle Springs school hit national headlines when student Shanni Naylor was slashed in the face with a pencil sharpener blade by another student during an English lesson.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“Dad, if you really want to know what happened in school, then you’ve got to know exactly who’s in the class, who rides the bus, what project they’re working on in science, and how your child felt that morning.... Without these facts at your fingertips, all you can really think to say is “So how was school today?” And you’ve got to be prepared for the inevitable answer—”Fine.” Which will probably leave you wishing that you’d never asked.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
