Worse school
focused on wrong things
If you go here you know when I say mental health and wellbeing is not a priority of the school. We as pupils are left to struggle and sit in lessons with the teachers constantly treating us like adults when we are NOT. We are 11-16yr olds with the world’s weight on us. Some teachers take time for us and make sure we’re heard and seen. However, most do not. Do better biddick or I will be taking this higher.
bad school
doesn’t treat the kids well and targets them. cheese paninis down the toilets nearly every day wouldn’t send your child here. they don’t bother with ur mental health or if your getting bullied they just put u on manage move to another school thinking it will solve the issue then they will say “there isn’t anything we can do about it” .
Fatsos

Biddick is the worst school
By far the worst school in the UK the teachers are disrespectful to students the lessons teach nothing the food is vile and so it the head teachers face rubbish everywhere nothing to do at brake and lunch uncomfortable uniform blazers forced even when very hot
Bullying
Could anyone from the school comment on the bullying that is rife at this so called academy....It has been brought to my attention that it is a common practice from older pupils to bully younger children and the so called teachers here turn a blind eye and sweep it under the carpet...I will be watching.
Hole school in general
School in general
My two children currently attend this school My oldest has had a positive time she’s a positive learner, great at all sports and is a positive pupil that represents the school well . However my youngest didn’t adapt so well to the changers from primary school to comp and has had the worst experience throughout all her time at this school she is now in year 8 and has barely seen a full week in school as she feels bullied by her head of year . Head of year is terrible when it comes to any sort of support. Unless your child can be a robot and fall in line with the others, they 110% have to be getting extra funding for any and I mean any support at all.
Poor.
They would lock the doors after 5 minutes meaning we could not go to the toilet or leave a lesson as we couldn’t get out of school. They cared more about a piercing on your face or in your ears rather than your education and problems within the school such as bullying. Some teachers would not allow you to open school windows even at 25 degrees. After 10 minutes of eating your food in the cafeteria you would be kicked out to stand outside no matter the weather, no indoor spaces. Send your child somewhere else if you want them to be respected.
Needs changing
There's a minority of teachers that will help they do care . A minority . But infact these teachers are restricted . On several occasions I have requested to go to a "trusted adult" as they say but been turned down and gold to talk to my heads of year as I I their concerned ,not nobody else's.
We should be allowed to go to who WE trust ,not just a teacher because they are in controlled of our year group. There's been times I've been sent into lessons crying my eyes out about my mental health but again denied of any help .
Not to forget that when ofsted come to the school we are told to be good ,to lie . I had a friend lie to ofted saying there was no racism, sexsism ,classroom torment ,homophobia ,transphobia, there's even children being bullied fir having horrible habits of self harm and the school sits back and watches ut all.
The boys are misogynistic and so are the male staff .what teacher tells a child that if a boy is saying sexual, vile things about her there is no proof so he can't act on it . That it's just rumours so it could be false . Could be . But it wasn't was it .
Fair to say there's room for improvement

If you care about your kids, go elsewhere
I was bullied relentlessly for years with no help from teachers at all. They turned a blind eye to the homophobia going on from students even when it was right in front of their faces.
When I became too ill to attend in my final two years, they offered little to no assistance and had to be strong armed into offering help.
Teachers were largely uncaring.
They told us to lie to OFSTED when questioned, and problem children were removed and hidden away before reviews, sent on school trips or given incentives to behave for a week.
Don't go here.

Don't go here.
Please do not send your child(ren) here.
Would not recommend, does not handle bullying or other problems. Only good points are: LGBT+ club, Student Support (handles autistic children)
Never rewards or helps the hood children, only focuses on bad children. There are multiple homophobic, racist, anti-semetic, sexist children in the school and they have never been expelled. It’s absolutely disgraceful.

go literally anywhere else
honestly horrific, the homophobia, transphobia, and racism is very present and the staff do nothing about it. the teaching quality overall is extremely low aside from some staff who put in the effort to help the students.
it’s not good
it’s okay but honestly i wouldn’t send ur kids here
Not great.
When I first went it was great, they were really helpful at helping get me into school since I'd struggled for a while. After about a year all help seemed to cease. I've been through staff members lying to me about my parents, claiming they consented to things they didn't, lying to my parents about me. There's a lot of pretty nasty students in my experience, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Was just ignored and I was often told that they were just 'upset and being a bit rude'. Overall was a very negative environment and has taken a big negative effect on my mental health in all honesty. To be fair, there were some lovely staff members and I miss them greatly, but they were in the minority.
okay, not great
alright. not the best staff and the students especially are horrible
awful
not good, been there for 4 years. came across about 5 pleasant teachers, the rest shouldn’t even work with kids in my opinion, ridiculous, most unhelpful negative environment ever.

this school is such a bad school then turn a blind eye to everything, they dont even care about mental health, my mam rang up and asked if they could help and she never got a response back, the so called teachers have there favourites and dont care about other students and if you come down late to the cafeteria they dont let you get food they send you away and if you are sitting with your friends while they eat and you have nothing they send you out of the cafeteria, and they dont let you go to the toilet 5minutes before the lesson starts, during lessons to even if your desperate, and even some children have to walk out of their lesson because the teacher wont let them go to the toilet, and the teachers blame students for everything, for example if there whiteboard pen goes missing they go straight to the students but the teachers actually left it on a desk, if you want your children to be respected dont send them here, from a student who is at biddick academy, im giving my honest opinion i wish i never joined this school, i was getting bullied for 3 years straight and i begged the teachers to help and they didnt care they turned a blind eye, my maths teacher turned around to the class and said she hopes we all fail our gcse just because we were all confused on one question.
