    Avoid at all costs

    If your child has any protected characteristics, ESPECIALLY disabilities, please avoid this school at all costs. In my time at aston, I have seen so many students being bullied to the point where they have had no choice but to move schools. One autistic boy in my year was getting repeatedly physically assulted by older year students, this was witnessed by the teachers and absolutely nothing was done. I felt completely awful for him. The last time it happened he had a massive meltdown and his mum...

    Terrible school

    Horrendous school. None of the special needs teachers can do their job, care more about uniform than their students. Just an awful school in general. They do not care for your mental health at all. The education quality is horrible. God awful school

    poo school

    this school is shocking. teachers don't care about you. i mean if you want your child to become depressed and stripped from their identity i mean sure why not send your kids to this youth club. Again back to the teachers, they are all hypocrites. the school cares more about wearing your blazer and baggy trousers so no one can see your figure? why does that effect you wearing leggings and jeans then your mental heath. the teachers don't respect the children but expect respect to be given back. they treat the children poorly. My friend at school was put into a day of isolation because she was wearing makeup she has some acne on her face that she is really self conscious about it so she put foundation on to cover it and myself I have a big forehead so fill in my eyebrows to make the appearence of it smaller. I think it's disgusting that the teachers sit there with there face caked in foundation and punish us for wearing makeup because we have our own insinceritys about our face there is a reason people wear makeup if it increases self confidence then why is it a problem ?

    Aston is okay

    The teachers can be funny and very nice sometimes but shout and get you in trouble for the littlest of things like coloured socks or drinking water in class or going to the toilet or staying inside . Teachers don’t really get involved when it comes to bullying and threats

    SHIT SCHOOL

    As a current student: Avoid this school if possible. It looks like it's falling down, the teachers only care about grades and its just not great overall.

    Avoid if possible !!

    Right I’ll talk about this school one by one based on my reviews. Satisfaction - honestly my worst years the thing that kept me going was my friends and some teachers but that’s it the people in charge are that bad at dealing with things i opted to move schools but unfortunately had to stay because there were no spaces available. Academics - not too bad you learn I guess and when you get to year 11 they put plenary of revision sessions on but there is an extreme lack of help during these times....
