Bad school, only focus on white kids
This school is very bad school, they pretend to help your child and it’s all a lie, all they want it’s funding from government. They ignore your child’s needs and just because they wants government funding. They let your child play all day outside the school garden and when you child have injured his or herself, no explanation for it. Pure neglect and abuse of children.

Horrible New School in Newham
I was bullied at this school for months the teachers just brushed it aside and didn't even make the boy sign a social contract. If I wasn't good at football or athletics i would be trapped in that prison.

Dead school ez
This school is very dead at solving problems because I was just walking to my class ins school and some older year group kid comes and grabs my neck and strangles me which the headteacher says that "if anyone lays hands on your gift, the kid will never step foot in this school again" and guess what, I see the kid a few weeks later everywhere, this means that this school let's people get not expelled because of what they done. They are a no touch academy for a reason and what are they doing.

Avoid The Bobby Less Academy
Notice to all parents, if you care about your kids education, I implore you not to do your child the disservice of sending them to Bobby Moore Academy. My son wasted a who year at thus "BUSINESS", My son scored highly in his SATS from Primary School, only to have his end of year 7 results drop drastically.by around 20%. The school is disorganised with all aspects of the day to day running of the school/business, and is at times completely incompetent. The main focus of the school is behaviour NOT education. and your child will find themselves in detentions for minor infractions of the school code, which has them out of the classroom not being educated. These punishments are also duplicated because of admin errors, so your child will sit a detentions for nothing. I have school workbooks that are close to empty, so for a entire year no work had been done especially in computer science, and PHSE. They play a tune between lesson breaks and the children are required to be in their next lesson as it ends, I'm not kidding either, Squid Game! Detentions if they fail. They have a gym and that the children are NOT allowed to use, and other sports facilities are limited to table tennis and occasional they play football and rugby. They don't have a rugby or cricket pitch. PLEASE DON'T SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO BOBBY MOORE ACADEMY, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT EDUCATION, THEY CARE ONLY ABOUT CONTROL AND FUNDING! Disgrace to Bobby Moores name!

My 5 years at Bobby Moore Academy
I recently completed five years at Bobby Moore Academy, a period marked by consistent dissatisfaction and exhaustion. My first year began under the leadership of Principal Lawrence Foley. Foley was determined to impose private school standards on a public school setting, enforcing unnecessary rules and strict uniform standards, such as requiring students to wear shoes in which costed £60 or more. Foley eventually left the school for reasons unknown to me, and was succeeded by Sarah Donnelly. Up...

Bad school
This is a very bad school my child is not learning much and they are always suspending her for no reason at all they have a vey rigged behaviour system and the teachers in there only know how to punish.They have a house system where they pick which house they want for their careers and she is being kicked out of her house for talking to much even though it’s for her career.I would not recommend this school to parents.It’s also been said that my child has seen many mice and rats at the school

No care for safeguarding.
No safeguarding policy in place here, children are unsafe and staff are not trained well especially the so called receptionists who are basically non existent. Staff are not friendly.

who do they think they are
This Ms Donnelly lady and Mr west guy are some crazy people, they are the biggest control freaks. how are they making students clean up after other people who do they think they are, making students not be allowed to wear what they feel comfable wearing this is disgusting from staff. they both look like expired old turtles. if i should find these rules still exist i shall bring a metal cane and i should teach you how to be better teachers

bma's receptionists better watch themselves
bobby moore academy is just horrible, there is so much I could talk about but my main focus is on the receptionist there. Number 1 how long does it take for a school with maybe 100 or more teachers to answer a single phone call, I could be calling to say as to why my child is not in or why there coming late or how they are feeling and they can't pick up. I know full well they can hear the phone ring, I know full well another teacher walking by there can answer it so why can't they, I can call these lot from 9am to 5pm and they still can't answer which I need to understand if u guys can come to a job everyday and have nice little chit chats why cant u be bother to answer a simple phone call. 2nd when they do answer why am I either getting attitude or they can not help one bit. I call the school sometimes to ask why my child can't go home early or where are they or why do they have a 25 or 60 and they just bring so much attitude for what. I get life can get hard and that some parents may be giving you trouble but what about the parents that's trying to make this easy for u huh can u not give one bit of respect. It is only when I come in there or I start yelling your home training actually shows which makes me wonder " must I have to start coming there yelling just to get a straight answer from them". and I am tired of these stupid rules saying "oh we can't let your child go home or sorry we can't help talk to the head of year or any other teacher". did I go through 9 months of my life taking care of my child just for them not to be able to see there house anymore, NO, I WANTED MY CHILD TO GO THERE TO HAVE FUN, GAIN THERE EDUCATION AND LIVE THE LIFE THEY WANT NOT FOR THEM TO COME HOME BY 6PM MAYBE SAYING HOW NO ONE HELPED THEM UNTIL THEY HAD FAINTED AND VOMITED. IF I SHOULD SEE THESE SAME STUPID PEOPLE KEEP A HOLD OF MY CHILD WHEN I HAVE EMAILED U, CALLED U AND EVEN WENT TO THE SCHOOL SAYING IF MY CHILD FEELS SICK, UNSAFE IN ANY SITUATION THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED, I SHALL COME THERE AND DO THOSE STUPID TEACHERS JOBS MY SELF. I SHALL NOT PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD. if i should come back and this review is gone, u teachers better watch yourself

Unsafe!
This school needs to be placed in urgent special measures. There are huge safeguarding concerns, regular fights, a phenomenal turnover of teachers including head teachers and an appalling ability to control behaviour or in any way "broaden horizons" as per their strap line. Staff won't listen to parents' concerns and yet expect respect from pupils by implementing increasingly punitive, bullying and unnecessary punishments which then also affect the learning for the rest of the year group - for example, GCSE drama group work is desperately behind in learning and so, 2 days before the final exam, group rehersals not possible as one child removed for no particular reason, thus disadvantaging all children. The first 2 years were great, but in the last 3 years, I have written to the various heads over treatment of my child/safety of the children, written to the governors and to DRET itself with not even acknowledgement and now, finally have written to the head of education for Newham to express concerns. I know this is at the same time as huge swathes of other parents writing to Ofsted and expressing similar concerns - and also removing them from the school. We can't wait to leave. There are other schools to choose from, don't choose this one! So upset, so exasperated that I've actually taken to writing this on here as a final attempt to make it right for subsequent children.

Dangerous Academy
Dangerous Academy, this school is not fit for purpose, teaches / leadership are rude, bias, pick on children of certain backgrounds, bullies and disrespectful to children and parents, children are very unsafe, the curriculum is not effective or outstanding, the school does not have much to offer, no opportunities for children to be successful, my experience of the school I have had to pull my 2 children out due to the mental effect the school has caused them. the amount of children left this s...

Don’t send your child
Not great will be moving my child and when you write negative comments they delete it they also don’t listen to children or parents and have military forceful ways. Everything is a detention even picking your pen from the floor
