City of London Academy Highbury Grove

I would rate the school 2 stars because I feel like some teachers can become a bit aggressive towards students when they get yelled at when it was actually someone else so I basically don’t think students can be heard properly because when a student’s trying to explain to the teacher,teachers either interrupt them or they give them a straight detention. Secondly, at the begging of year 7, me and my group of friends were getting bullied everyday so we finally decided to go and tell one of the teachers that work for safe guarding and so when we explained what happened to them they said they would go talk to the person that was bullying us.A few days passed and the bullying still carried on and so I went to tell the teacher again and also ask them if they had spoken to the bully and they said no not yet and they would pull us all out of class to discuss everything in front of each other.well guess what THEY NEVER showed UP.so eventually we sorted out the situation but still WHAt WAS SOO MUCH WORSE THAN BULLYING?? That they couldn’t sort out the problem sooner.so what I’m basically saying is that they don’t sort out any of your problems until weeks later ? Lastly, I do think some teachers aren’t that bad and just want us to succeed in life,but other teachers like putting everyone’s day down and ruins everyone’s mood. I feel like some teachers and staff need to understand that everyone has a different way of learning and not everyone is perfect.I also don’t think they should be using aggressive language towards us. Once in one lesson we were literally called morons to our faces. In conclusion, I would recommend this school to you if you want to get yelled at every five seconds and have teachers put you down.

Okay first of all the school doesn't do SHIT about the bullying. Period.

Hello, I Do Not recommend you to come to this school because the teachers are very bad and there are fights every single day and let me tell you something that happened to me today so i was in music class then i did a little cough then i got a 1 hour detention.

Boys grabbed me and slapped my behind continuously even after I gave them a dirty look. Reported it, had to keep asking about the progress of it only to be told after about a week that they “can’t do anything without video evidence”. And this isn’t the only time they ignored my/anyone else's allegations. I called the school out on twitter later on after I left, and they blocked me because I was telling the truth. They lie and promise students and their parents a safe educational environment but yet for the longest time I was made to feel like what happened to me and my friends didn’t even matter. I would complain about them doing nothing about the issue then I would get shouted at and told “complaining about it isn’t going to make anything happen”. They were so quick to punish students with dyed hair or an untucked shirt with detention, isolation, exclusion; essentially missing out on what they love to say is ‘important education’, ‘your future’, over things that ACTUALLY don’t matter. But when their students feel unsafe because of their own classmates, they’re told the school can’t do anything because apparently we should’ve recorded it. And it wasn’t just students this would happen to! Several TEACHERS have reported sexual harassment, homophobia, sexism etc. but we all know where those reports they would make you fill in went. In the bin.

Horrible school they don’t deal with anything that goes on if your getting bullied they don’t do anything no kid should have to deal with going to that school

- allowed sexual assault to take place - told victims “there is no video evidence” and ignored reports - allowed bullying to take place - told students “what can we do?”
