Quiet in Class

Writing for Decider, Joel Keller gave the series a "Stream It" recommendation, primarily praising the bravery of the former students who shared their testimonies. However, he criticised the overall production style, describing it as "exploitative" and "salacious." He felt the narrative focus on the whistleblower's identity served as a distraction from the school's failure to act on numerous warnings about the staff member raised between 2017 and 2023. He also took issue with the series' use of reenactments; citing the frequent use of an actor photographing students as unnecessary and "creepy."^[3]

Internationella Engelska Skolan (IES) issued a press release stating that the accounts of former students were "deeply moving" but disputed the documentary series' central premise. It described claims that it failed to act as "untrue" and asserted that strict criminal record check policies were followed. IES also characterised the presence of predators in schools as a broader "societal problem." The school declined to participate in the documentary, citing an ongoing police investigation.^[4]
