    Shittiest school ever

    The teachers are not understanding, and extremely strict. For example, you will get put in isolation simply for wearing white socks. If a question was asked about how socks affects students learning, no answer could be given in response because the colour of my socks DOES NOT affect anyone else, so realistically, why is it even a problem? The school is way too strict, any student attending the school would say the exact same. Another thing: Piercings. Examples would be a nose piercing, or an ear...

    Bad school

    Worst school. If you ask every student they will have something negative to say about that place, however my main issue is how strict they are when it comes to what you can and can’t do. For example, if you want to wear any more than one earlobe piercing, too bad, you can’t. You can’t paint your nails. For pe if you can wear leggings but with shorts over them. I got my hair highlighted and they gave me a straight isolation. For what? Having a bit of blonde in my hair? Honestly, the rules are ri...

    BAD SCHOOL BRUNTCLIFFE

    I have had 4 children attend this school over a period of 15 years and it has not changed at all My eldest son who had learning difficulties spent all his school life in exclusion and playing monopoly My Daughter lasted about a month before being perminantly excluded ... she had adhd My next son failed at most of his exams he tried hard but got no help My next son was kicked out of the school after having a fight with another student and passed on to another school within the academy ... it was a serious assault and was accepted by all and my son was full of remorse Sending a child to a BETTER school FURTHER away with the SAME headteacher is not right at all The school has too many silly rules silly punishments and policies for kids and parents to handle and do not provide adequate support for kids with difficulties and swapping headteachers and staff around when visitors go is a sly trick to make the school look good The school does nothing to ensure safety of kids on school busses everyday day kids fight throw things and damage the busses The school fails to disclose when they mess up ... my son went to school as normal and failed to come home on time hours went by no word on my son we searched phoned round and involved the police ... my son did turn up ... the staff took him on a school trip that we were told he was not allowed to go on because of his behaviour and did not have our consent

    This school is a prison camp, My advise is find another school.

    Do not put your happy children into this so called school. It is run like a business, yet if it was mine I would sack most. Totally disgusted! I cannot write anymore as this site will only let you write so much..tells u something

    my experiences at bruntcliffe academy.

    When i attended the school, it was questionable. It was not the worst school ever but it was not the best. Me as a student who did suffer with mental health i never got any support from the inclusion office or from any teachers in general. Even when i asked to arrange an appointment with the inclusion team they would ignore me and not help me. For the school to improve further i believe that bruntcliffe academy should put more effort into the students and their mental health because ignoring th...

    Lovely school.

    Actually quite a good school I made life long friends and a couple of teachers genuinely have been really supportive and will definitely miss them when I leave. Extra curricular is my favourite thing it's amazing I love it. However only 4 stars coz I just wish school would use more gender inclusive language it's really annoying when me and my lgbtqia+ friends feel excluded coz a teacher called us "girls and boys" instead of just "people" I think it's a very simple thing to do and just yk a core value is inclusivity, yet some teachers say stuff like that. Ye anyway good school I like it.

    Good school

    I love this school honestly. The teachers have been great help and the lesson plans are awesome. I am a year 10 student and will admit that I will be sad to leave. For example, one of the teachers here has helped with a lot more than just the learning, they have taught me a lot about life and is great to talk to when feeling down or stressed. One thing I dislike about the school is the use of language they use when addressing us as students. If they could use more gender inclusive terms such as "people" instead of "boys and/or girls" I am positive that more non binary students will feel included as one of the core values after all, is inclusivity.

    Dangerous

    The Students are constantly being jumped outside the school some even being stabbed, there's constant harrasment of LGBTQ+ students and there's a clear hierarchy of students with the bottom of the hierarchy being abused by the popular end of the hierarchy. Teachers abuse students with some students needing support and counciling for the abuse, over the experience is torturous and painful
