Ark All Saints Academy

I wouldn't recommend this school to any parent or child. Most of the teachers/adults in this school can be very dismissive and rarely listen or understand the children's problems at this academy. The students at this establishment can be insensitive and disrespectful towards each other by making offensive "jokes" regarding race, sexual orientation, sexism, colourism and the different uses of pronouns. The school gives us a total of half an hour lunch break and expects the children to be focused and calm when they re-enter their lessons. During lessons, some/most teachers tend to shout or are constantly stopping lesson for what is usually a group of people, which negatively impacts the student's learning and the time wasted by the teachers going on power trips and are constantly trying to prove to the students that they should respect them because "they're getting us 8's and 9's in GCSE". Dismissal at the the end of the day can be very hectic, and has often led to people losing their belongings and having accidents. Keep in mind this doesn't happen ALL the time, but when it does it is an inconvenience to the people trying to leave the school on time. My hope for the future of this school is that they can learn to understand that children aren't always going to be perfect and will not be well behaved all the time. Stop telling the children at this school that their are no sets and that we are equal because you are saying that people who are messing around in class are the same as a quiet children who want to get an education. Your not making the children believe that they have equal opportunities, you are giving them either false hope that they can be good at every subject or you'll make them feel bad about themselves for not being good at every subject. Please celebrate the fact that there are people who have more of a higher intelligence than others and tell the people who don't that they're not bad at learning and should also be celebrated for their achievements. I also hope that they can be more accepting of different cultural beliefs outside of religion such as tradition hair with ornaments, boy wearing earrings, traditional jewellery, ect. This could prove to the students that they are accepting of different people's backround and are allowing the children to express themselves freely. Also, just because you've added the blm symbol to your lessons and slideshows still doesn't symbolise people of colour's experience with race and racist comments/opinions. By only including two races, your excluding others and that makes me upset. Overall, don't send your child to this school because the adults can be difficult and so can the children, simultaneously making your child's secondary school experience unenjoyable. P.S this doesn't happen to all the people just a huge collective of them.
