Consett Academy

Teachers are shocking, don’t understand special needs or sensory issues, the children rarely even learn anything, I don’t know if teachers are aloud to do this but they scream in children’s faces including special needs student, school often has a horrid smell, the food is absolutly shocking leaving a lot of kids with food poising or very ill, a very small pitch of grass to fit over 1000 students to play football on that’s the only activities

i do not recommend they make your life a living hell, they make u lick the floors if u speak on the corridor and the food is also moldy and have maggots in the chicken stake, also do not have any VEGAN food which is not okay because the vegan community will NOT stand for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A truly awful place to work. Several staff have signed non disclosure agreements after their dismissal in exchange for several months of full pay. The new headmaster and a select few assistant principles are nothing short of bullies with staff and students alike. How OFSTED didn't look into the massive turnover of staff and query it is beyond me. Children with SEN are truly let down and there is nothing you can do about it as the senior team won't allow interventions.

The new headmaster is pig ignorant. There is no consideration for children with extra needs, whatsoever. Tells parents what they want to hear then does the complete opposite. My child is miserable there. If you are able then you won't have a problem !

they claim to always want the children to feel safe yet when a child asks to go a place they feel safe they refuse and send them to where they feel unsafe.Many teachers are blind to how the kids feel and only care about their reputation as a school.

Toilets have fruit fly infestations all the time and reek of vape. The lessons make you develop depression, it also spreads from the miserable teachers. Some of the teachers have no filter, and I swear they all shag each other ew.

Very noticeable deterioration in the last year, with mass amounts of the best staff leaving. So many students that we sometimes didn’t have a classroom for our lessons as there simply isn’t space, A Levels apparently not being important enough to secure a classroom for. Strong sense of bullying throughout both the staff and student bodies. Not a pleasant place to study nor work. A few very good members of staff, full praise to them for putting up with what they go through. Seems to be getting worse, wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Worst experience of my life. Want to die because of this school. Not only are the kids severely lacking any empathy but so does the teachers! I've complained multiple times to teachers (told four different ''we're here to help'' teachers in one go) And they did nothing. Completely nothing. Oh and have you heard there's fights in here? What did the teachers do? nothing. Not even batter an eye lid. Not even looking at you. You can punch random kids out of no where and their'll be a significantly higher chance that nothings going to be done about it This school is one of the worst schools you can ever let your child to go to. 100% would recommend going somewhere else. 100%

Very bad school, not helpful especially to sen children.

An overall deteriorating school due to a rapid change in staff. Little consideration for students’ views and mental well-being when making decisions. Few amazing teachers that overall can make up for those less good. Most staff members are friendly, making the school experience a little better. Not the worst school, but far from the best!

worst school eva, went there for 5 years and teachers pick favourites, got pua bullied there and chased home loads, and i got the blame for it, wouldnt bother going there to be honest

Since the start of the 2021/22 Academic year the school has become dictatorial and being there is not enjoyable in the slightest.

pua lush like would reccomend to anyone with bairns
