Bristnall Hall Academy

This school is awful, bullying is rife here and the teachers & staff have no idea how to deal with it, you are fobbed off by the heads of year who are pathetic they have no idea how to deal with issues and their schooling is in the dark ages!
As a mentor of a local youth group the things I hear from both parents and student is completely shocking! From year 7 children body slamming teachers causing her weave to fall off, to making a child get on their hands and knees to bark like a dog while staff are less than 10ft away! It seems the school would rather move on the bullied child than deal with the bullies! They deal with bullies by putting them in a Behaviour monitoring room where the children get waffles, not being educated on anti bullying. Detentions are handed out for the most stupidest of reasons and again it’s like a on going joke in the detention room with the teacher!
It seems that it is a problem for all years! With the headteacher openly telling the year 7 group they are the worst year they have ever had to deal with! That’s some positive mentoring right there! The Headteacher loves the sound of her own voice and is a fond fan of screaming at children this in itself is a form of abuse!
SEN children aren’t supported and are shouted at when aren’t complying instead of being supported! With Autistic children returning to class with feces on their hands, to be screamed at to get out the class again instead of supporting them!
If your child is a A* student they will get on fine here, that’s what Bristnall Hall Academy wants the Grades to make this school Outstanding!
But scratch the surface and you will see what a shambles it truly is!
Anxiety and Mental health support are none existent in this school, they apply the pressure from year 10 to succeed in the GCSEs making children anxious and worried about not passing! Causing children both to stress and self harm (again this has been reported to us) But children in the lower bands have asked for extra support and intervention to be told it will be put in place shortly but still 10 weeks on and these children are still waiting! Instead of encouraging and supporting and treating every individual as an equal!
The staff at this school should be ashamed of themselves! I would avoid this school like the plague. This will be reported to ofsted and I urge anyone else who has similar experiences to please do the same. School should be a safe space for our youths, a place to be encouraged and nurtured not to be in fear and struggle.

They said that they would give me all the help I needed, yet they do not help me at all and then 5 minutes before the lesson ends they ask me " Hey do you need any help?" They also think that parents make the children aggressive I was one of them but it was them who was actually screwing me over I told them to stop but this school never listens to what students want to say, and during one of the trips to Frank Chapman me being a male I fell and sprained my leg not being able to walk without help and don't get any support from anyone except 1 of my friends. Meanwhile I watch a girl fall and scrape her knee and everyone is there to help her, this school is sexist and doesn't help anyone at all. I would definitely not recommend coming to this school it is terrible.

The staff and the students are all so welcoming, especially this year's cohort of Prefects. There are so many learning opportunities and extra-curricular clubs in place, can't wait until I can join the cadet unit that is based there! Definitely would recommend!
