The trust about bridge of don academy
school is shocking. my kid isn’t allowed to come in whenever they want to study. Absolute joke and don’t think it is fair if they are showing their dedication. Teachers are terrible and care more about patrolling the toilets than caring for others! No wonder people don’t show up to classes if there teachers that don’t care about their learning or wellbeing and their dedication for subjects. They keep students in who don’t care about subjects and don’t care about the learning which disrupts other...

don't go
this school is the worst they don't let you go to the bathroom when you need it and they lock them during class so you can't go but the only bathrooms you can go to is the lunch hall ones, which are either broken or people are vaping in there. The food is honestly the worst food I've ever seen, its disgusting and soggy. Some of the teachers (math) can't teach at all. The school uniform at this school is so strict, you can't even have a bit of white on your shoes. The whole school is falling apart.

No Change
I went to this school just over 4yrs ago, all the problems it had then was unbelievable, the bullying issues were never getting sorted, if anything they got worse, teachers were off sick, you would not get another teacher in the same subject, it would be a teacher with no idea, teachers never believed what you told them, about any incidents, they just said they would look into it, but never did.

never attend this school
it’s honestly the worst school i’ve ever attended. teachers never believe what you say even when you’re correct and always find a way to prove your wrong even if it’s by lying. the actual learning is terrible, teachers send you out so quickly even if you’ve done nothing because they can’t be bothered to deal with you. it’s not a school that feels safe to be in.

Don’t go to BOD save yourselves while you can.
As a student in Bridge of Don, i suggest not transferring to it and here’s why 1. The buildings falling apart There are numerous things that have broke during my time there and instead of putting their money into the things that are broken, they decide to use it on a door that can open by itself. Oh? you want more nutritious foods that don’t taste like absolute dog water? you can have an automatic door instead, that’ll fix everything! it’s not even all of the doors, it’s just one of them. i gue...

Bodacious academy
It is alright other than the 'asbestos incident'. If you are going here I have advice: 1. Never sit in the canteen. It is full of small children who will pour water on the desks and bark at you. There are never enough seats so you will have to sit outside in the rain and contemplate your life decisions 2. Never use the toilets. There are signs on the toilets telling you how to use them but here at BODA we are a school of illiteracy. Mostly they are used for vapes. You will walk in to pee and there will be five S2's in there with their vape and their 'lunch' and they will judge you for peeing in the toilets. 'Eww' they will say, whilst eating rotting canteen hamburgers on the floor of the Bridge of Don toilets and sharing a singular bread flavoured vape. 'Eww that's nasteh' 3. Never use the corridors. The school has about twice the pupils it really should and thus the 'BOD-omino effect' manifests, in which one toddler topples over, knocking the next five over and starting a fistfight. The prefects are powerless to stop this 4. Avoid these teachers: *The one who turns every lesson into a rant about 'gender pronouns' despite being a language teacher *The one who says 'iron out the kinks' a lot *The one who only talks to the girls and asks them if he can 'take them home' The other teachers are fine. Especially the ones who give you food. Those are the good teachers 5. Never wear white trainers or you will face 'consequences' And that is my advice.

dont go to boda
i go to bridge of don academy and today it was pointed out to me that in one of the RMPS classrooms there is a poster done by a student that is clearly racist and islamophobia and the teacher has still put this up in a class for everyone to see this is completely unacceptable as they say we should be role models for the younger years so what does this say about bridge of don academy?

Avoid if possible.
Teacher to pupil communication is extremely poor. Lots of hate towards minorities.

don't do it
don't come here, save your sanity and your future. only around 30% of pupils here leave with 5 highers by the end of s6, ranking it in the bottom rankings of the entire country. every department is awful, guidance are useless, the building's falling apart, and oh did i mention the asbestos? not to mention the fact that nothing is ever done to combat blatant racism and homophobia in classrooms. in particular, one of the languages teachers is openly homophobic and transphobic, and she's just allow...

Experience in classes
I was there for 5 years, but I did not enjoy it. I have autism and mental health issues and the teachers didn’t help - some did but most didn't. I’d be crying in maths and nobody asked if I was okay (I loved my Maths teacher so I’m not blaming her entirely). I loved both my Spanish teachers, PSE, History and Admin teachers but the rest? Not so much. They didn’t help me with my work, asked if I was okay or whatever... I was also being bullied (sometimes physically in class) and they wouldn’t pay attention.
