Very bad school. Don’t put your children in there!
This school has been a deeply disappointing and distressing experience for me and my family. The school contacted the police following false allegations against me. I was arrested, but the matter was ultimately closed with No Further Action (NFA) because there was no evidence to support the allegations. The experience caused significant trauma and distress to both me and my family. What is particularly unacceptable is that, despite the seriousness of what happened and the impact it had on us, t...

rude teachers
Teachers are very rude, especially the Head of Year 11 English and many others. Just because they are teachers doesn't mean they can be rude to students and expect respect in return. The rules are so unfair it feels like students have no human rights.

Not inclusive + only helps students they like
The school is not as inclusive as it pretends to be. I was recently diagnosed with autism after 3 years in the school and after asking for basic accommodations they said they couldn't give me "special treatment", I had asked to be sat in another room for my mocks. Regarding bullying, the school pick and choose who they want to help which is blatantly unfair and bias. I went to Inclusion twice and the second time I went they said I "couldn't use Inclusion to skip a lesson" although I had never me...

The school has improved loads…
The school has come so far since Mr Ash took over as Headteacher. I know most schools are struggling with the behaviour in general since the pandemic but I can’t fault Dagenham Park and the methods they are using to help our children. Their systems are clear and reasonable. I can always find the policies I’m looking for and since they started the contact forms on their website, the communication has become a lot quicker. Everyone that writing negative reviews on here should think before they start becoming keyboard warriors. These teachers are working their bodies to the ground and I cannot argue with the care and attention they are given my child. I would highly recommend this school to any parent. If your child is wiling to work then this school is the one to choose. I am a strong believer that manners start at home and it’s down to us parents to make sure we make our children respect their elders before we start pointing the blame for our children on these teachers. Dagenham Park will always have my support as a parent.

The truth
Im an old student from my secondary school, and in terms of many things- they couldn’t handle bullying, bullying was a big thing from year 7 to year 11 and I honestly wish they would be more approachable to it and handle it better. They failed me as a student and I dreaded going back everyday, as for PE - they would make you do activities outside in the cold and it was not good for our health at all, I wish they kept doing inside activities instead, and it’s unfair how they let teachers wear coats outside but they didn’t let us while doing the activities in the cold.

7.7/10
Alright, good arts programmes, teachers encourage students well, just don’t have roast dinner on a Wednesday, they do things like a roast dinner burger with gravynase- really weird. Other than that it is good. 7.7/10

The best school ever
Very welcoming and helps with any situation. Genuinely the best school I have ever been to. Has even adapted the school to deal with disabled children in wheel chairs and if you have crutches. Also free to call and will help with any problem that you have and head of years are sooooo incredibly helpful with the kids. Best school ever
