De Aston School

This is my 4th school, (I move around alot) and I get along with some people but the teachers don't explain anything to you which you understand nor cater to your mental health.

ngl i dont like how they always complain about skirts , tshirts and uniform when whats more important is our grades , lessons and studys , its pathetic and annoying how teachers constantly tell you off about your uniform when you have good grades and do well in school. what should matter is our grades and mental health not our uniform. if schools let us were our own clothes , teachers would never have this problem

I have been going to this school for 3 years and I have had a good experience. I have additional needs and get a lot of support(without a EHCP) . There is a bit of bullying on the down side however in my experience it dose usually get handed with. On the side of mental health souport I think it’s quite good however is a long waiting list. The food is okay but not anything I really like

Good school but some teachers are a bit stupid when it comes to disability’s :)

i just started in 2020 - people dont wear masks on the bus or over in school. I told my head of year about my mental health and i dont think she cares because i have noticed that she doesnt talk to me alot and she talks to other students more also she seems to be judging me - i feel it when i am around her. I also feel like no one cares about me.

I left in 2019 and I still know people that attend, from what I've been told it's in the same state as when I left. They have no handling on bullying, they either ignore bullying happening infront of them, pass it off or in some cases blame the victim. Educational help I found personally very poor. I'm dyslexic and received no help even after showing them my diagnose. A teaching assistant even told me I no longer had dyslexia. Since leaving I've been told I'm on the autistic spectrum which was never picked up on and I rarely recieved the normal amount of support expected. They have no handle of mental health, I've since leaving been diagnosed with clinical anxiety and depression. Many teachers believed me to be faking and counsellors told me to write things and try to relax instead of actual help and assistance. I also had teachers out me to a full class about my self harm. I also know someone who has worked with the head master in previous placements and has said "no care for the standards he should have as an educator" which I completely agree with. Teachers and other staff rarely got back to me while I was there, in person or via email. After leaving I've tried to gain references (I never acted up in class, had bad behaviour or got into trouble)and have had no reply what so ever. The food wasnt always the healthiest but they did have some more healthy options, personally tho the food tasted pretty good but quality wasnt consistent.

First things first, The teachers for the most part do not care for the student's mental wellbeing, or act like it, they decide to pile the work on with so little explanation and if you email them, depending on the teacher, they wouldn't care to explain it in more detail, another problem is, the rules, as another review has stated, the rules are way too vague, they'd only give you a run down the rules if there was an important event going on, and there are very little posters around the school explaining these rules, if they were to add a few more of those posters in more visible places maybe I'd give them a higher rating. The way this school handles bullying is absolutely disgusting, they tell students they're going to speak with someone yet never do, i get it, teachers have alot on their plates too, but it should be the school's TOP priority to ensure the safety of it's students. On the other side of the coin i got to meet some amazing people at this school, Theyve made this crappy school a little less crappy.

Bruh they never explained the work whilst we were at home and at school the rules are very vague.
