Review
terrible school,I had a horrible experience there.the teachers have no empathy or care for students and the safeguarding team are awful, no wonder multiple students have committed suicide after joining the school.i was bullied during my whole 5 years there,and the teachers either laughed along with them or did nothing about it.Gary Hillyard will set ur kids up for failure he is a nasty man. This school will ruin your kids. They’re a few good teachers and I don’t think I could’ve got through scho...

Avoid this school
1-star review – Absolutely avoid this School if you can** Some of the teachers are most toxic authority figures. Parti cularly Miss PERVEZ. Her core problem isn’t lack of knowledge but a massive ego combined with a clear enjoyment of humiliating students. Her favourite activities in class are - Publicly shaming students for even small mistakes, often with sarcastic comments. - Turning every incorrect answer into a personal attack rather than a teaching moment. - Holding long grudges — once...

MISS PERVEZ - Carlton academy
Absolutely awful school, miss pervez is a bully and likes to degrade students and make them feel awful about themselves. She doesn’t know how to teach and is there to keep her lights on at home. They need to get rid of her!

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE
The school does not care about your mental health or struggles all they care about is if your uniform is perfect. They will give detention s for the smallest things and will not let you go to the toilet in a lesson no matter how desperate you are. There are to many people for the size of the school which causes pushing. Also a teacher once called a friend of mine stupid and useless because she need help with something.

Haris Sir, and thank you,
When I joined Carlton, I had very little knowledge about trading. Haris Sir explained every concept in a simple and clear way, which helped me understand the basics easily. His teaching style is very friendly and motivating. Now I’m more confident in analyzing the market and taking trades on my own. Thank you, Haris Sir, and thank you, Carlton, for the wonderful guidance!

AVOID THIS SCHOOL!
Absolutely awful school! Staff are incompetent and do not listen to either student or parents! They can't cope with SEND children! Honestly if you could buy a teaching degree from wish.com it would hold more merrit than these clowns! AVOID THIS SCHOOL!

Bullying teachers
Awful school. Teachers all the way from the head to the dinner ladies bully the kids. None of them are interested in education, only punishments. If you have any disability you are immediately forgotten about. They give detentions for nothing and send kids out of lesson for nothing every single day. Please read the reviews and dont send your children here.

Carlton Academy
School claims to take pride in the safety and education of children but adverse in working along side parents to resolve matters at hand and do absolutely nothing about bullying if anything shift blame to the victim of the bullying. Staff talk down to students but put on a fake facade to parents,Children with safeguarding and anxiety are meant to have a safe space to go (or so they tell parents) but told they can not go when needed and not compliant with their own school rules

Stupid school
A teacher gave my son a detention because she thought he was chewing in PHSE but all he did was twist his mouth. He told her he wasn't chewing and he could speak clearly because there was nothing in his mouth. He is not attending the detention. I have called the school and am waiting for a call back from the teacher. It's not even been recorded on Classcharts yet. How this school's got a good Ofsted report I'll never know!

Please don't attend here, save your sanity
Absolute hell. Does nothing about bullying even when they say they can help, turn a blind eye to sexual harassment. Teachers are more bothered about uniform than education.

Lunchtime detention for going to the toilet.
My son got a lunchtime detention for being late to lessons 3 times this term and he was only in the toilet. The students only get 5 minutes to get to their next lesson, the corridors are always rammed and there's a lot of pushing and shoving, resulting in fights. The teachers don't care when my son tries to explain he was in the toilet and say they've heard it all before. The students aren't allowed to go to the toilet during lessons so when are they supposed to go or are they supposed to soil t...

Terrible!
Don't come here! Teachers have 0 respect or care for students whatsoever they're always picking on us for nothing! Not welcoming whatsoever. Teachers always put an act on for parents but are horrible to students. Also the upper years can be quite horrible in corridors, lunch queues and break times. Teachers give no support on mental health and only care about uniform & homework! It's horrible!

Bullying teachers
Awful bullying not by kids but by teachers! Drop a pencil, detention. Ask a friend a question, detention. Awful policies and awful staff.

Mental health and bullying
Ngl it’s an ok school with new and improved facilities.but surprisingly students metal health is the least of there concern as well as bullying they do little to none to help. Even though they have many assemblies on these topics. If they was a improvement on this it would be a good school. But the school does barley anything to help
- Parent1.025 July 2022
Not great….

- Parent1.09 May 2022

So bad bad teachers and not dealing with kids bulling is dreadful worst school
- Student1.010 April 2022
DONT GO TO THIS SCHOOL NOT WORTH IT
The school doesn't even care about our mental health and what we're going through, there more focused on our uniform more than anything else. A group of people were bullying Me and my friend and the kids put all the blame on us and we got told off without us saying our side of the story! Don't go to this school!!
- Parent1.031 March 2022

- Student1.02 August 2021
Terrible
Absolutely awful school, teachers have no respect for anyone but themselves. Students, teachers and system are racist, homophobic and sexist. No help or care for anyone’s mental or physical health.
- Student1.013 July 2021
Choose another school
All of the reviews are right. This school is actually horrible. Rude teachers and racist teachers,helping students with mental health is literally 0. They honestly do care about the way you present yourself appearance wise than your problems. Sexualise their PE uniform for girls ,wanting them to wear tight skorts. Some of the students are disgusting and horrible and the teachers are not fair.
