Easington Academy

i’m currently a student at this school. i can say that the education is good, however we do not get taught many life skills such as sexual health, debt and other topics which would help within the real world. i have also noticed how obsessed this school is with the way in which girls look (pointing out ridiculous things about skirts, makeup and natural look fake tan). the staff also seem to watch over us at break and dinner time to an excessive amount which makes many students feel uncomfortable. they also need to sort out how we aren’t allowed to go to the toilet at times, even if we have finished a set task. one girl was on her period and told the teacher this and the teacher still denied her the chance to go to the toilet. it is absolutely ridiculous and especially for people who have periods (something that is normal and we cannot control) and the fact they deny us of our human right is shocking.

Personally I believe that the way this school tackles bullying is extremely below average. There will be likely no course of action when a student reports their experiences with bullies. The most that happens is a fixed term exclusion at the end of the term and detentions. The teachers aren’t very understanding of their students privacy as teachers will be all around the school during breaks and lunches basically stalking what students do. Recently, the strictness on uniform has become extreme and a joke. Teachers are looking at students bodies every time they come off the bus and pulling people aside when they don’t have the correct type of shoes. I also believe that the obsession with girl’s skirts, jewellery, fake tan and acrylics is promoting misogyny as they are not this strict with the boys and they won’t allow girls to express themselves. Also, it’s very classist as they expect all students to meet the standard of uniform and appearance knowing how expensive the uniform is. It’s also very unrealistic as students aren’t allowed to wear jackets in class even despite the cold weather and students are expected to stand outside in the rain which would make people ill. At lunch times, students will be kicked out of their lunch areas because teachers want to have a nice chat and as i said before, teachers will invade students privacy during these lunch times.

In my opinion, the way this school deals with bullying, harassment, homophobia, racism, transphobia etc is terrible. Also, most teachers aren’t understanding of students and are very judgmental, making students uncomfortable especially during dinner time while they are eating. Students feel as though they always being watched which can cause no comfort.

It's an okay school, building is nice and most teachers are great but it's the students that are the problem, there's so much bullying, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobic, antisemitism and sexual harassment that the school just does not deal with at all. the school is also massively underfunded,there's pretty much 0 school trips, most of the laptops don't even work and there's a very limited choice of gsce options.

The schools take on handling bullying, homophobia, racism and sexual assault claims is horrible. The bathrooms are almost always broken. They focus their money on paying and supporting multiple unnecessary assistant heads rather than functioning computers that are needed for students education.

good school but need to sort out the bullying
