LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY OF CHILD SAFEY
I believed my daughter was safe here .How wrong I was! Lack of simple checking by office staff on who is taking your child out of school lead to my daughter leaving with a unregistered person who impersonated her Grandmother. This school also assisted in an elaborate pack of lies to blow up out of proportion causing a complete family split and a loss of a daughter to our family. These lies were later proved with phyical edvidence to be planned and made up and not one single apology from Ashby S...

Avoid if possible
Goes through SENCOs really rapidly. Teachers don’t seem to know their students and they don’t seem interested in catering for children with any kind of need outside their definition of the norm. Parental communication is rubbish and leadership seem more concerned with ensuring the length of girls skirts and style of the boys socks is acceptable than actually providing quality teaching. I’ve had three children go there, one with some SEN and two without. All three had very mixed experiences with...

Ashby school is excellent
I've been to 3 school in the last 6 months because I've had so many issues with bullying ? but I feel like here I have finally found a good friend group and the education is great ? and I feel safe within the school and feel like I can excel here! I also enjoy the food ? but I just wish the diner staff (who you go to pay with your card) would tell you your balance because there quite strict with you not going over, so when you do to pay they may say that you can't have it. This isn't a problem for me as I usually ask for how much I have left so I know if I need to top up but I have seen my friends get turned away. The range of options they offer is great to however when it comes to extra curricular clubs and activities, in my opinion, there is not many options for Yr 10s as they are mainly for Yr 7s but I would like to try new things and I think the choir could be a good way to put myself out there! Over all I love the school and have finally found a school to settle down at and take my GCSE'S. I genuinely couldn't thank the school enough... although I know it sounds crazy, but due to my hectic last 6 months Ashby school has really changed my life!

If I had the choice to, I would leave at 16
I struggle with Anxiety (GAD & Social) and depression and the teachers do nothing in class or just in general to help, i tend to get overwhelmed in some classes and also panic attacks every now and then but nothing is being done to help me with it, i talk to the school nurse once a month but that doesn’t really help as it’s not really something that the school is told about (because it’s confidential) Overall I don’t get support in school and it makes me not want to go in so then they nag at me...

worst school i’ve attended
got severely bullied and was struggling with my mental health, so i was avoiding classes with people bullying me in and they stuck me in isolation without trying to help me with the bullying! Awful, get yourselves together !!

Too many people walk around with no mask on it’s ridiculous.

Not good for covid
there is no social distancing and people just won't keep their masks on ! Its ridiculous. If your one of the ones who takes the mask off as soon as your out of teachers sight get a grip . Im worried about my education because of the stress of me trying to dodge other students . I literally got squished in a hall on the first day because the halls are to small for the 600 students to walk through, and that's where my tutor room is !!! Last year everything was ok , lessons , teachers , students but this year its gone to pot. I dread every day going there.
