    This school is sexist

    This school is sexist. Males and females get separated in P.E and the males get to do ACTUAL sports while us, the females, had to sit in circles and write on whiteboards, why don't we get to do proper exercise? Not to mention that they treat us as if we haven't don't a single bit of exercise in our lives. For context, there were two groups, a competitive group and a participation group, and I chose the participation group because I don't care about competitiveness. The compettitive group got to...

    absolute joke

    as soon as you enter the building, teachers are shouting at you for having your ankles on show or having a nail polish on. teachers will shout at you for crying in the toilets. teachers will favour the louder kids rather than the quiet ones, only good two teachers that are class. will put you in isolation if you’re late or lunchtime detention so you’re not allowed any food.

    Awful school

    Shocking school, the teachers are awful and don't help pupils that are getting bullied but when the child that has been getting bullied retaliates and stands up for themselves after 2 years of being bullied in school on online by the same fellow students they end up getting punished. I would never recommend this school to anyone the worst thing to happen to Aberdare was this school being built. Too many students and teachers that don't care because they get paid no matter how rubbish it is.

    i hate acs

    this is the most fucking shittest school ever deadass like my fucking god. not being funny but my best friend had to wait the entire day she asked from lesson 1 to lesson 5 if she could get a duty call out because of how sick she was they then never called a duty call out for her. honestly this school respects no one and is full of knobheads. its complete fucking bullshit and when i complain about someone bullying me for like 3 fucking years they dont do anything but if the other person says it they just shit all over me like im the fucking problem??? this school is absolutely horrendous and im not even being funny but everyone who sends their child there i think wants their child to have the death sentence it doesnt even deserve 1 star

    They won’t send sick students home

    I was really sick one day and my own health and wellbeing teacher told the head I’m fine and sent him back she then told me I shouldn’t be on my phone even to text my mam and then she followed me around the school for the rest of the day because they told my parents they couldn’t pick me up even when I was physically pale and overall I’ll.

    Do NOT go here!

    Worst school in Wales. We were told prior that the three of us going from our old school were going to be kept together, but on the day they split us all up. Teachers were trash, I'm sure most of the students were smarter than them. No time to eat food, as queue was half a mile long. By the time you got to the end of the queue IF there was any food there, it would be just a burnt piece of toast. People given detention for no reason other than asking questions about the work that we were doing. D...

    Acs finest

    Absolutely disgusting, not only is it like a prison but the teachers themselves are patronising and honestly think they enjoy winding pupils up to the point where they get angry and then just flip it on the pupil, I think they enjoy and get some weird satisfaction from bullying the pupils when they should try to help and think of there mental well being and physical needs such as needing a toilet, pupils can’t even voice there concerns and opinions without getting into trouble I have no idea what even more to say there is so much it’s just honestly a joke coming from a former pupil your sincerely K.S If you know you know, if you don’t know get to know

    Absolute shithole

    I would rate a zero if I could, staff are horrible, you get into trouble for complimenting a teacher, not allowed to go to the toilet, my maths teacher hurls insults at me the minute I walk in, if I respond I get an after school?! Unfair treatment, teachers bully students that are quiet and favour the loud disruptive students, my sister fainted in lesson and when she woke up SLT immediately sent her back to lesson (or should I say carried) they don't value the mental health of their students whatsoever, horrible school I dont recommend, I cant wait to leave! ?

    Poor overall.

    Poor quality education, Staff quite unprofessional and seem to have an extreme attitude and lack of respect towards parents. Children don't wear coats as they have to carry them rather than wear them, no sense at all unfortunately.

    Not Good at All

    In my Opinion as a student if the school its just like a prison there is cameras and locks everywhere you go there isn't even an exit unless you are going through an electric gate they give out after schools like there sweets literally there is at least 20 students everyday there is no fairness you even talk you get a B2 and thats an after school they would close the school down they wont though because its a super school and if that closes all thw other schools in the area will overflow.

    Very bad

    Sexist rules, over strict to the point where people feel like they’re in a prison, teachers can mistreat you however they like because they always have the upper hand over students, pupil voices are never heard whatever they say concerns are never listened too, teachers openly look down on younger years. There are good teachers however and some of them really are lovely and do genuinely care but on a whole I don’t think I know one person who has genuinely enjoyed they’re experience at this school

    absolutely horrible, would not recommend to anyone

    absolutely horrible, teachers claim to care if you get bullied but they don't, everyone care more about if your trousers show your ankles rather that if you're struggling, the only good thing in that place was one good teacher, she was nice, everyone else was rubbish, the food was rubbish, the facilities were rubbish, the toilet paper was so thin you could see your hands through it, and they're all way too strict and restrictive, of course nobody's gonna bother to learn when you put them in isolation because you don't like how they wear their uniform.
