Dean Trust Ardwick

Best school ever in the whole of the world!!! Lovely, amazing staff who will always help you… and a multi diverse school community located in the heart of longsight. I would give 1000000 star review if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would highly recommend if your child is in year 6 to send your child to this school. It is amazing! I’m in college now but I do want to go back

I hate most teach the head of year target me im in year 7

This school is just really bad in terms of freedom and developing of ur child. when I left in yr11 3 years ago all I learned [in terms of life skills) was to just suck up to authority and not have anything imaginitive. the school tries to control too much with a stupid mountain analogy. They literally pressure you with so called 'attendance studies' and say if u are late even the tiniest amount after the bell u get a 20 mins detention. One time I was told to give names of pupils involved in a incident which I had no knowledge of. when i told the SLT (Senior Leadership Team) I was placed in isolation for 2 days before someone else snitched. they rlly did that with no apology after

I’ve only just started and I hate this school get me out teachers are always shouting for no reason the present the school like it’s good but it’s absolutely horrible I don’t recommend going because you only see the good side until you get into the school.

The school is horrible, teachers w treat you with respect and deputy head Ms Charles is truly rude and has no manners. The welfare is a joke, all they do is call your parents when you're asking for help. Its a disgusting and pathetic environment. Children who “misbehave” that clearly have different learning needs are sent of to different schools as a punishment.

I used to this school a few years back and every day I felt like my life was in danger. A student had almost killed another and was let back into the school a few months after. There was fights everyday. In terms of teacher a lot were biased and made it obvious when they didn’t like u. Bullying would only be solved if a student had some kind of personal relationship with a teacher so if they were a student well known my many teacher then it would be solved quick and effectively but for students who were more reserved and not known well they would get brushed off . One teacher would segregate higher and foundation and would only focus on the higher and when I didn’t do good on my mocks she blamed me but she didn’t even teach me well. For a lot of my lessons I had to teach my self using yt so I didn’t fail my GCSEs. Another time a teacher touch thigh while telling me to turn around which was inappropriate as he didn’t need to touch to tell me to turn around. The rules were horrible the constant checking if we had equipment and being put in in remove if they believe our pants were 2 tight the separate entrances for different year groups which would make some people late the lack of support from teacher in terms of bullying and similar stuff the worst thing was how they locked the toilets during lessons and would not open even if u were close to peeing ur pants which is literally a health hazard. It was also low key cult like the way we had to repeat at dean trust Ardwick we are proud to belong and u would get in so much trouble if u didn’t say it. Once I was stuck in another country because I had a covid and my parents had told the school but they kept harassing my parents even coming to my house banging on the door and being extremely rude to my mum threatening her that I had to come back to school as soon as a come back which was basically illegal at the time because u had to isolate for about 2 weeks when u came back from another country so if I got caught I could have gotten fined. The only good experience I had in that school was with my friends it’s a shit school do not send ur kids their unless u want them to come out with long term trauma

this school is so bad like if something bad happenes they wont even care and they dont do anything about these horrid acts. if u are getting bullied they wont even get helped

First of all,teachers are experienced and relatable and the food is soo good This is the only good school

THE TEACHERS BEAT THE CHILDREN IN THE THE TOILETS

This school is absolutely horrendous in most aspects. Firstly they tell you that their school is the best in the city and is above national average (which has nothing to do with how the school operates).They also enforce students to follow some weird tradition called the DTA way which is displayed practically everywhere in the school (which is a little much if you ask me. Thirdly the substitutes can't teach; they try to make it seem like they are experienced in the profession but they don't even teach anything to you half the time. Lastly and probably worst of all, they suspend you for forgetting your equipment. They already don't let you into the school without full equipment so if you manage to escape them you will 100% be punished for forgetting it. If any parents and carers are reading this, PLEASE don't let your child go to this excuse of a school.

Good food hwlpgull teachers id reccomend

tjis is such a good school i loved it teachers were helpfull burger was decent but they ran out of burgers for in break snack so there was porridge.

First, real teachers leave after a few months and substitutes can't teach, meaning we miss out on education. Second, there is a lack of school trips provided throughout the years, other than the plain old reward trips. Third of all, the teachers are terrible at student support. When reporting sexual harassment and discomfort, a teacher responded - it was because the student liked me. Fourth, the school has changed, a lot. There are now rules put in place to brainwash students known as the "DTA way". Well, rules are quite normal, but to repeat them in every form programme whilst they're written all over the walls is unnecessary. Fifth, In terms of bullying, it's quite common - especially with racism and body shaming. Please, if you are a person of East Asian or Southeast Asian descent, do not send your child here. The same applies to those who aren't considered "normal". While I have made a few friends in this school, it is important to know that many of these so-called "friends" are fake. Sixth, the homework put in place is atrocious. For starters, all students must do Sparx maths every week - a maths homework programme with 7 tasks that you must complete to finish your homework, this homework has stressed me out throughout my school experience. There were a few moments where I would think about how much better my life would have been if I were sent to another school all those years ago. While I have experienced good throughout my years, the negatives outweigh the positives. I hope this review helps you decide if you would like for you or your child to go to this school. For parents or carers reading this, consider sending your child to a better school. If you are going to this school, I wish you all the best.

Ever since the school went. Fire they force us to to the work like we are in prison they force kid to do it and come to your home are force you when your Busy of take 1 and off this is a violation to children’s rights in article some things I don’t really remember you can not mentally abuse and force to do what you want

Felt like it from my bro adil ali

This school is a terrible place to send you child.The majority of the welfare team are white and don’t know how to help student’s situation and end up making life harder for them.The behaviour management team is the absolute worst and make this kids look like their crazy and just sit there in their seats and judge them.Teachers are also ableist and like to use offensive words against students and latter on say they were just “joking”.Specific members of staff likes to pick and choose what sides they go on and make the situation unfair.Unless you want your child to end up feeling suicidal don't send them to this horrible school.

This school is actually shambolic ok take it from me. Like, how can I be in set 1 for English and we have a set 4 teacher who literally begged to teach a higher class cause it'll look good on their record. NO NO NO NO NO!! And its tooooo strict, like, how can you get suspended if you don't bring in your equipment a few times. And I'm doing this anonymously so I don't get some goofy ahh cease and desist cause the school is that kinda school. Oh yea and did i mention that the food is horrible... with their wedges from Ohio (or Tesco if we're talking uk?? ). Wait, did i mention that there was a WHOLE REAL LOCKDOWN

My child has moved to the school. The school is alright, pupils have been less behaved than the expected curriculum, My daughter has been bullied and teachers didnt care and shouted at the group beside anything else. She said its an ok school and its fit for her.

DTA is a badt school definitely wouldn't recommend sending your kids here as the teachers do not know how to do there jobs properly
