Archbishop Sancroft High School (A Church of England Academy)

Okay so I’m going to put it simply if you are not a student who gets top grades you won’t be offered many experiences. When I was here I was also quite annoyed about how students got treated differently because of you’re grade. As someone who was a MAP I only got offered experiences when they were offered to my whole year. I even spoke out about how we should get more opportunities but nothing was done. I think it’s an alright school but I won’t rave about it.
I did have a good learning experience here and I’m not going to lie about that, I just think more should be done for the majority of student who are a MAP instead of it all being directed towards HAPs.

At ASHS there is a large sense of community between the students and teachers,whenever I raise an issue to a member of staff I feel listened to. There is a diversity group and they are a safe space for and help people from all backgrounds. The school also raises money and awareness for mental health issues and it feels like a lot of the teachers genuinely care about you as a person.
Of course like any school there are some teachers that aren't like this and that I dislike but when I've spoken to someone about this I've been allowed to move groups to get away from that teacher so i am more comfortable learning which is the main priority here.
The school is quite small and therefore has more limited options in terms of gcse's but as the student body is growing ASHS is adapting and trying to expand the curriculum.
Overall I have enjoyed my years at Archbishop Sancroft and truly believe in the school motto 'ASHS to anywhere'

dont go here. unless your a top grade student or pretty in socity standards they dont care about you. i was bullied for my entire 5 years there and instead of fixing the issue they said "well they have issues at home" i was literally getting told to yeet myself but apparently "its life so i need to expect to meet bad people" one time i had an anxiety attack because these girls were constantly saying things about me when i walked near them, and instead of dealing with it they told me "stop or ill do you for defiance" an awful school that only cares about grades

I went to ASHS and I strongly recommend NOT going there I am dyslexic and cannot tell the time and don’t know any times tables, no body at ASHS found this out or helped me with these problems even when I asked for help. I was being severely bullied and made teachers aware of this and they did nothing and said “just ignore it and don’t retaliate”. I also struggled with depression and anxiety as a result of being bullied day in day out infront of teachers as well as other pupils. I was being bullied during a lesson and the teacher that was on the table told me to ignore it so I left the classroom left the school passed the office where the lady said goodbye and in the middle of the school day I went for a walk and returned 2hrs later when I was greeted by the teachers at lunch. No body knew or asked where I was my parents didn’t know and I returned to school without question. I dropped out and passed my GCSEs but I do not recommend Archbishop Sancroft High School.
