Sorry for the rant but dont send your child here
Do not send your child here!!!! I am now in my first year of uni and left 2022 and i have a sister in year 10. I will admit when i was there some teachers still cared about you but others mainly in a management position only cares about looks and grades. Also for the students wondering why we dont have skirts as i was in year 7 when the idea was suggested for the following year, it’s because they used to her peeping tom reports. Then why punish us the girls when there are clearly issues with oth...

Disgraceful school
This school has been absolutely awful for my daughter and have had my wife and daughter in tears on many occasions due to their lack of support and care. Me and my wife are going through the process of getting my daughter diagnosed with ADHD and autism, going down all the correct avenues with little support from the school, unfortunately we can not afford to pay for are daughter to be diagnosed properly, the school have failed on their behalf and the behaviour of them towards this has been awf...

farehm academy
this school doesn’t allow skirts or shorts in summer causing kids to overheat. There food is to overpriced but the teaching is good but letting kids sit in trousers all day isn’t ideal.

school is okay need some improvements
it is a good school but I have had a lot of bullying and it take abit long to get it sorted but most of the staff are nice they are just some what I don't get on with but overall it is a good school because we have so much support staff who we can go to what is very useful for me and it will be useful for a lot of people

I hope it burns
The teachers are always nice when theres a visitor or when its transition week for the new y7's, then they only care about chewing gum and uniform. Also the school should start a bit later like 9am or something because I have to wake up very early and I barely get sleep, then the teachers give out detentions when someone yawns in class. I also think the no skirt rule makes no sense, what was the point? I hope they had some satisfaction from doing that because no one else did. How is wearing a skirt going to make me fail my classes, "Its distracting" dont look at my skirt then. Why woukd anyone be distracted by my skirt. I dont understand why we HAVE to tuck our shirts in, because it looks very weird, It looks good on girls when they're wearing a skirt and tucked in shirt then its pretty. But when boys have to do it, they look weird. Anyway.. This school should be shut down, Im not surprised that literal 11 year olds are skipping classes, this school ruins kids and their lives.

Worst school in fareham ?
Honestly this school is so bad to a point where people are wishing for it to burn down. The teachers are nice for the first 2 weeks of year 7 then all they care about is your uniform. They ban skirts for no reason it was so unnecessary, Uniform rules are even stricter for girls. Girls aren't allowed to wear skirts, jewelery, make up. Even on non-uniform days they get dress codeded for wearing normal clothes. The school always says "Express yourselves" but they don't allow us to, we can't dye our...

The school is really bad, They only care about your uniform. A few years ago on my first day at year 7, a certain pe teacher told me to take of my headscarf because its distracting someone, WHAT? Obviously I didn't take it off as its religious and the teacher gave me a detention.

Bullying
Honestly I don't know what to do...my daughter got bullied by an Indian boy colling her bad names like gay, transgender and he wanted to beat her up just because she has a deeper voice and when she told him he's a curry eater he reported her for racism...funny enough we are foreigners...we don't play the racism card. My son got bullied in front of the school by a group of children and humiliated and no one did nothing. After all this only my daughter got punished by saying something back to the bully. My kids are afraid to go to school now..

Little rant about it.
Honestly, wish I didn't go. Staff say they will help sort out problems but they never really do, you get told to fill out a form and then it all just gets brushed under the carpet. Most of the teachers are nice but at the same time get really strict with jewellery and makeup, the teachers are also there to set an example so why shouldn't they follow the no makeup and no jewellery rule? It's not impacting our ability to learn, it's a way of expressing ourselves, something that we are highly encou...

painfully average
okay so firstly give the gays what they want. eyeliner, dyed hair, badges, doc martins, converse, jewelry, etc. if you disagree you're homophobic like a certain tall female french teacher?. #speakthetruth #exposed fareham academy when bullying, homophobia, racism: ???? fareham academy when rings: ? ?? ? yeah anyways this school is so exhausting and draining. and why do all the decisions made for the school seem to be the most illogical, impractical, confusing choices possible. and mate what even are the cafeteria queues sort it out rn or im literally gonna off myself? also why is it central and why can you buy weed off of literal 11 year olds. im sorry like i wasnt aware this was the gillies but nevermind.

my experiences
honestly this school has gone down since year 7, the rules are so confusing to me because i don’t understand how makeup and uniform impacts my learning.The rules also impact students mental health (speaking from experience). In my experience i was wearing makeup to school because i am very insecure and really hate the way I look even though we aren’t allowed to wear makeup till year 11, and one of my teachers saw me wearing makeup and told me to meet her so i could take it off. i instead sat in the toilets crying until she found me. i was then taken out and she was trying to get me to tell her why i am crying, i then went into an anxiety attack and couldn’t breath properly. when i told her this she told me to breath slower with a lot of attitude, she then gives me a makeup wipe and sends me back in the toilets to take my makeup off. I do it and ‘go back to tutor’ but i instead went in the toilets crying and spent the whole of my first lesson crying. the makeup wipes she gave me also made my skin red and hot for an hour as i have sensitive skin but she didn’t care. So i do believe the rules and teachers can be a bit rude and scary. Another thing i would like to talk about is how mental health is skipped over. talking from experience again i was having an anxiety attack about performing in drama and was still forced into performing in front of the class no matter what even though i could have performed outside in front of just the teacher. so i believe there are a lot of improvements to be had.
