    My personal review.

    I personally had an awful experience in avonbourne throughout year 7 to year 11 and my intention with this review is to warn any parents sending their child to school here about what may happen to their child. I got severe depression due to persistent bullying in the years 7-9, and it is an extremely common thing you hear about avonbourne. I feel that the pastoral team can be ignorant towards students issues and I understand teachers can have favourites - but its dissapointing seeing it play ou...

    Dont go here

    My experience at Avonbourne School has not been good. The overall atmosphere feels harsh, and many of the staff come across as rude or dismissive. They rarely listen to students unless something very serious has happened in ur life or outside of school, which makes it hard to feel supported day to day. The rules are also extremely strict to the point of being unfair. For example, students can be punished for very small things, like losing a piece of paper called a “reach card.” In some cases, t...

    Shit school

    If i could give it a zero i could, i was put into so many bad mental states because of this school it is absolute bollocks they put on acts infront of people coming in to view the school to seem like its a safe nice place to send your child. it is not. they couldn’t care less about you or your education they just want control. and if you dont act like a robot obeying everything they say or ask u to do they will try punish you for no reason a few teachers are alright but most are miserable gits who definitely hate children.

    Avonbourne issuch a bad school.

    I took my daughter out of school because the teachers and students were horrible. Teachers act if no one else matters but them, and put her in the incorrect sets multiple times. She learned nothing at this school and her mental health got worse from the horrible girls at the school. The team spoke to her and other students Atrociously. They couldnt give a single care in the world that she was getting bullied. Not a good school. Should get closed down.

    Sorry for the use of foul language but

    This school is like a used condom you find on the side of the road. There is alot of bullying and the most punishment people get is a day in iso and a finger wag from a teacher. They care more about grades than the mental health of students and will gladly pile on detentions if you can't focus on the homework due to personal or mental issues. Some of the teachers are the most friendly and interesting people I have ever met but a majority of them are just robots wearing skins suits making sure yo...

    Untrained, not sen aware or inclusive on any level

    The Human resources and team here are not trained in how to support people with sen neeeds. There is a lack of empath for pupils and those working here too as apprentices. I would not recommend this place to my worst energy. There was bullying by management , unprofessional and also lack of communication. They do not want to offer training or support especially to those struggling, what sort of people do that ? They have a disposable view of apprentices here.

    avonbournes lack of care for neurodivergent kids

    just a pre warning i havent been here in two years so things could’ve changed but i doubt they have. avonbourne is an absolute shit hole and does nothing to support their neurodivergent students specifically when undiagnosed/masking. im autistic and although i didnt know it at the time all they gave me was an hour elsa lesson every week and a pass so that i could leave class 5 minutes early. but even before that, it took my mum 3 years of constant emails and phonecalls just to be put on a...

    AVOID

    If you like to have any form of communication from anyone you have to fight and fight. Some reception staff are rude, like interupting and hanging up on people. Kids mental health being affected by a few members teaching staff not having an ounce of compassion. Quick enough to call when your kids off school dropping their stats down but if you have a problem be ready to call 4 times a day and still get ignored.

    Very impressed

    Really impressed with the school. My Daughter’s confidence has grown and most, not all, of the teacher’s are truly interested in the children’s learning and development. Throughout Covid the staff worked round the clock to prepare make the changes to online lessons. Yea f course things could be better, the indoor environment is dated and it is hot in summer. The school are continuously looking at ways to improve.

    I hate it there.

    You have to be silent during break and lunch through the corridors, you're not allowed to go to the toilet outside of break even if it's an emergency, and if you're seen outside of your lesson you get a detention. For earrings you have to wear a plain silver or gold stud, no small hearts or shapes and you have to "treat teachers like platinum" when the teachers treat you like a piece of crap. All they do is pick up on what you're doing wrong, but not what you're doing right. This school is more like a prison that hates individuality, than a school.

    Crap.

    It’s generally just a shite school. The system is so fucking corrupted that I barely even attend classes. I have ended up with over 30 inclusions for crap reasons, such as, talking even if everyone else was talking, arguing over a comment a teacher made even if it was highly offensive to some students (right of speech pretty much at stripped away) not ‘slanting’ or remaining in ‘natural state’. They pretty much turned it into a prison.

    Bad school

    Shit school, little encouragement to achieve high grades and canteen was rubbish. Only good thing was learning support.
