    Fucking joke of a school you will lose you relationship with your children if you go here teachers ruin the childrens life to the point they’re thinking bad stuff about themselves do F all about bullying and all the head teachers and head of years are full of themselves and pick on certain students especially ones who struggle at home

    Baldragon Academy

    Worse school in dundee. Teachers attacked, pupils bullied, ht who doesn't care as long as it looks rosy when inspectors turn up. Lot of experienced teachers leaving or taken early retirement as their not consulted on stuff last to know whats opening or getting less to do and these were ones that were getting their results up too, lots of great ideas but no structure. HT and his assistant go back years together so a bit too cosy, he tries to bring in young teachers who are clearly out their depth...

    Disgusting

    This school is an absolute joke. Ongoing issues for 3 years never being dealt with, its always "we are dealing with it". I'm certain if it was dealt with and you followed the procedures your supposed to this wouldn't be going on 3 year on. Complaints after complaints made about the way you deal with serious situation. Stop brushing it under the carpet and thinking its kids this will fizzle out, You are supposed to help these "kids" become adults and influence these kids to being adults. Instead of helping resolve situation you are causing harm to multiple people under your duty of care. You have 1 thing to prove to these kids who attend your school and that's to make them feel safe, there is hundreds of kids who pick staying at how than attend your school and that is cause use are failing you student who rely on you for the help and support they need. your have on your website "we are resourced to give every learner an education experience which meets their needs". You may as well have that removed now. The resources you have are actually hopeless teachers, guidance staff and management, all these people who are getting payed big bucks with only 1 job they cant even do. The Values, I have never seen much hypothetical idea ever. Instead of trying to to guilt trip everyone into thinking that these are being shown to each individual. Fairness - What it actually means is treating people justly, not letting your personal feelings bias your decisions about others. But what Baldragon mean by this is if everyone can have a pencil in every class that's fairness there is not any emotional fairness between pupils and teachers. Honesty - Massive problem in this school. This is the truth. 1 thing Baldragon cant do to there pupils or to parents. Things are always over looked for never even reported back to parents, A situation happens in the morning and the parent finds out before from the child. The school staff never call till after school hours and by this its far to late that child has had to sit the reminder of the day dealing with this and staff member say deal with it later. Responsibly - Yes use all work for the department of children and families a department which is responsibility for our children and there safeguarding. And yet again children don't feel safe in this school, it used to be safe place a child can go too but now that's well over ruled by your failure of our children and your responsibilities achievement - How do you expect our kids to achieve when you can help there needs. Respect - Ha, the disrespect that you feed out to the kids and given right back and its always the kids to suffer, you only respect the most important people the ones who make Baldragon look good.

    All I have to say is bad

    Half the teachers don't know what their doing, and being setting my kids up for failure in almost every class. There's a small handful of teachers that know what they're doing. Students are horrible and unbehaved. Toilets are locked during break and they're barricaded toilets in the hallways and there is also cameras looking into the toilets which invades privacy and safety for the students. Over all very poor school and need a serious change!!!

    horrible

    i went to this school for 3 years and it was hell i was very badly bullied and teachers didn't bother to even fix it, they at one point recommend i just left and ended up suspending me because i was fighting with teachers over getting bullied the teachers don't care about you they just treat you as another statistic. they pretend to the council and government there a great school but nearly every day there are fights,people doing drugs,vaping,spitting on people ,pouring juice on people. overall its horrible don't send your kids here please you will ruin there education

    Not swell

    The school is Horrific to put it lightly. The school is always going to be the place I made my memories in secondary but i will never forget the way i was treated and how they dealt with it. Many students and teachers treat the students horrifically. They will rip ur individuality and see you as just another percentage and grade, but what school doesn't? I don't feel cared for in this school community and if wasn't for my friends my attitude towards the school would be completely negative! D...

    Not very swell

    The school is alright in a whole but they don't treat you equally they don't value the students and typically see you as grades, and percentages. Your individuality is ripped from you. Some of the teachers change your life and will always be someone you remember but others well not I was not very glad to have. Multiple cases of teachers crying in the class cause they couldn't control a bunch of PRE teens! Many teachers are lovely but majority are awful. The year heads don't really care about you at all and your not very cared for. They only care about there representation in the community but there the reason it's so horrid There grades are alright but the treatment is horrific there has been multiple times i have left for months due to being treated like poop. It will always be my school where i made memories but it will never be a place i wish to return to as the treatment was horrific. The only thing i would really put high is the food which was all pre made and shipped.
