Excelsior Academy

The school is not safe at all and that they always protect the bullies than victims and also they don't help victims until a fight actually happens and they stop people from going to the toilet leading to water infections and the teachers bully the students what end up making loads of students cry each day

Honest review off a student. Mostly good teachers, some are understanding, but not all. Bad at supporting children with special needs (mostly mentally and sometimes physically). I have ASD and they are bad at helping. They kicked out one of my relatives who used to be there just because he had ADHD. Some teachers cant control the class when it's noisy. When it comes to class changeover, Its a little extreme when trying to get past crowds. People push and shove. The clubs that they do are acceptably good, especially the drama club and the LGBT+ club. They both make sure that you have a safe space in the clubs. They also have their own Army Cadet detachment. I went for 2 years, it was a good experience. The school meals taste good, and the deserts are even better! The biggest issues are: the fact that whenever a student uses their voice, they ignore them, lack of support to those who need it, and the toilets. They put shutters on the toilets. I understand that it is to stop students from skipping classes in there, but it is also taking away human rights. Although they give you allocated times to use them, you got to go when you need to go. If you ask during lesson, they say no even though they are supposed to 'call a teacher to take you'. And even if you go to use it at the allocated times, you wait in a queue and the queue is so long that you dont even get to use it. I know im a student there, but please listen to me. Send them somewhere better please.

I'm in yr9 and I hate it there. They claimed to care about ur mental health but they don't. They send you out for having ur head down. Or if you sh they ring home and then ignore your problems (based off my experience). They don't sort out bullying as i have been followed around school, ganged up on and cornered and they do nothing but send me to my own lesson. They don't care unless we're sat there doing work in our lessons

lets be honest its a horrible school dont take your child here

shite school mate had enough with these vile teachers putting there hands on me

Miss Rachel Aktinson is nothing but a BULLY she has harassed my child for the past 2 YEAR! My child comes home crying EVERYDAY because of this BULLY of a teacher she has locked my child in rooms called my child horrific things and has also laid her hands on my CHILD! this is not acceptable and has went on for to long it is VILE she does not have the right to be around children my other fellow parents have had the same issue this is absolutely disgusting and i want this dealt with IMMEDIATELY , my child or any child for that matter does not deserve to feel like they are not enough!

my brother has been sent to hospital because of these group of year 8 boys and girls and that's why I don't recommend this school for your bens

those kids have so much bad manners teachers need to see the mess they leave at whickham view street and bus stops smashing bus stops windows throwing empty bottles which lady was the target they never even said sorry i have also seen them taking things from people s garden football's i have never seen so much bad kids everyone in whickham view area are fed up with this

Horriable experience on 23rd May 2022, my 15 year old was attacked by an other insane boy in the school on a football field in front of the teacher. My son's leg was broken and this boy sat on his chest and started beating him on his face and he was saved by his friends. School didn't do anything despite of several emails and calls my son was lying on the school football field for 4 hours to wait for the ambulance.They didn't even bother to call us when my son was getting his surgery in hospital. Please becareful and don't send your kids to this school.

Worse school IN THE NORTH EAST

personally the school is okay but the teachers really need to sort themselves out with bullying the teacher had just watched my brother get bullied in the school yard and didn’t do anything or go and ask if he was okay overall the school is okay if you know people who go there

school is really bad, cannot maintain covid rules in the school and is struggling financially obviously. teachers are failing to abide by the covid rules

Pretty okay school, often fights but nothing too serious. Good teachers, healthy food, always support if you need it.
