horrible
it is horrendous they stop you from wearing coats of a certain pattern or color based on weather or not they like it. considering the fact two of ardens values are courage and respect they are 1 not being very respectful considering someone may feel un-comfortable wearing a coat of a certain color or pattern which is clearly not offending anyone they are not one bit respectful of it and 2 courage they are not courageous in the slightest. poor school
a bit bad
kinda sucks ngl the english department cannot mark for the life of them.

There are many fights and the teachers aren’t helping. Also many many students suffer with anxiety and they don’t do anything.
Arden Academy
It’s alright. The worst part of the school isn’t the teachers or facilities (howbeit, both are lacking, especially the facilities.), it’s the students. Most of the girls are chavs that make everyone else’s lives miserable you don't conform to their standards. The school does try if you’re being bullied but there’s not a lot that can be done.
The facilities are poor at best, although that’s not the school's fault. I do however think they’ve made some dicey financial choices (the 10+ TVs in the main block that aren’t used for anything, the canopies that the parents had to pay for that they’ve taken down, etc.) that could’ve been thought out better.
I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone with an ounce of uniqueness to them, because they will suffer as a result. However, it's not a bad school otherwise.

Arden review
School is very old and dirty, teachers are alright but not very helpful at times. Food is very overpriced and everyone that goes there is quite rich there is not really a mixed bunch of people. Lots of GCSE subjects to pick from and you only start studying GCSE subjects from year 10.

teachers are really good but the school is way too small for the amount of students
they are building a new and bigger one though :)
would recommend but the majority of students are either snobby or chavs lol
food is really overpriced

Needs to be rebuilt
Old, dirty and cramped with 1800+ students in a 800 capacity school, however there are good teachers, courses and clubs.
