De Aston School

Never go there if you have bad mental health and SEND needs because they will just make everything ten times worse and blame everything that they have done on you and your parents. The understanding of SEND needs by staff is appalling and in my opinion none existent. NEVER GO THERE IF YOU DO NOT WANT MESSED UP MENTAL HEALTH. THAT SCHOOL HAS RIINED ME.

This school is absolutely horrific!! I've noticed they've turned off being able to comment on Google. I'm astounded how much they cover up their own mistakes. Safe guarding leads, are allowed to contact you and tell you the most terrible things about your child, without any evidence. Then, protect the bullies. Many teachers are highly unprofessional! They gossip between members of staff and then when you complain, they take it out on your child. Bullying, is rife. However, they totally turn a blind eye to it. The senco department needs abolishing, as it's utterly shocking! The old senco, was incredible. The new senco, is incompetent!!! There are a few wonderful members of staff, who are overshadow by the unprofessional member of staff. I am currently collating information and evidence to take action against them. I have so many emails to prove that they dismiss everything, gaslight and do nothing to combat bullying. I'm actually in the process of setting up a group, to help other parents. If you love your children, do not go to this school.

This school is terrible, bullying is incredibly bad at this school and teachers do nothing about it. The teachers are absent quite a lot leaving students to have supply losing a lot of education, even when they are in they seem to not want to be there. They claim to care about students mental health and meanwhile students report a situation (eg bullying) and nothing is done. The rules also at the school seem vague and overpriced food. I am also having to remove my child from the school. Your sincerely

De Aston is nothing but a sham! Corruption seems to be everywhere! Physical abuse and negligence. Cover up their own mistakes to make themselves look the business. Hide CCTV footage for incidents. Issue bus bans from possible interactions from 4 months ago, purely so they don't get questioned from the governors for suspension knowing the pupil can't get to school and then make it unauthorised absence. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. This school doesn't care about children with additional needs, they punish instead of giving guidance. Ofsted is next.

The worse school in this country and they don't help students after leaving year 11 the crap school it should be shut down for good

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.

My little sister has been bullied there since year 7 we’ve tried to speak with the head over and over again but he always passes it off to the head of year theres 2 months left till she transfers and still nothings changed over 4 years to the point 16 pupils including year 11s have threatened her in school grounds and online and nothings been done one girl even got beat up by a year 11 lad and all that happend was isolation even tho they told us and other parents they expelled him kids are not safe within the school grounds and I doubt the staff even care I’m thinking of pulling her from the last 2 months just to keep her safe they make promise after promise to the point I even reached out to the parents of the kids and to no avail due to the school never informing the parents of the situation they just went by what other kids have said

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

They massively supported me and my sister through alot and have stricked rules. There has been a few incidents but they have quickly been resolved its the kids fault if they fail not the teachers(most of the time)

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.

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.

People don’t wear masks and 4 people have Corona virus positive

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