Farnborough Academy

Is it a surprise that places to leave reviews for schools has diminished to only places like this. This is because if you challenge any Education institution which is funded by the government nine times out of 10 you will lose, regardless of the well-being of your child or your family. We all know that since Covid the government has tightened their grip, failing to provide adequate funding, adequate staffing, adequate training, and attendance is now the holy Grail come what may. With the school there is no framework to engage with or support parents even when complaints are upheld by the trustee panel. Even this does not ensure that bad practice is held to account. I urge caution if you have a child that has SEND. As another parent has stated on this website, there is something particularly disturbing about this schools practice, their first response to band together like Roman soldiers to form an impenetrable wall to anyone who dares question them. You wont be heard, you will face victimisation, you will be pursued. And your child? Their welfare is the very last consideration. Expect trauma for you and your family.

My child got out of the school premises, was left to be very vulnerable and put in danger, schools response was it was my childs fault.
My children have been physically assaulted by members of staff and verbally degraded by teachers whilst in lessons for struggling within their subjects.
SENCO SUPPORT is really bad, they will pick and choose what they think your child needs and not follow parents concerns.
Funding for support is incorrect and not applied properly for the funding they receive for your child.
Staff members lie to cover up serious complaints made by parents, leaving parents concerned to send their children in to school because of there safety.
Parents do not get listen too, and staff members are lacking a lot of training.
When you ring up, no one knows what they are doing and as a parent you go around in circles.
Further more when there is a ofsted inspection they make sure all kids that have behavioural problems are put in isolation and the rest are presured to follow new rules for that inspection and or threatened with punishment if they do not apply with this.

This is a terrible school for bullying.
The teachers are not able to handle the student effectively.
More training is needed in bundles.

Students suffer bullying from horrible kids within the school in every year group.
The school are not focused on this at all.

If your child is bright and smart, they'll still get bad grades in GCSE due to all the distractions they will go through while attending the school.

Seriously, avoid!

Disgusting school.
Avoid at all costs, regardless of convenience to your location.

Kids are bullied.
Staff don't care.
Follow policies for their chosen pupils only.
Will target your child if they take a disliking.

Bullying is horrific in this school.
Much worse than others for the fact that the teachers are absolutely incapable of handling it.

Maths teachers teaching English. English teachers teaching science. The level of learning is so poor I was so ashamed for them for the work they showed of their top students at parents evening.
You couldn't make it up, it's on another level of bad.

Ofsted inspection...
They'll bundle as many of the naughty ones into isolation for the days they are there and give stern threats and warnings to all others to be on best behaviour.

The head teacher remains a mystery not wanting to be involved in anything until you've gone through his gate keepers.

This school and the teachers within, are well known to all others school's and teachers to be amongst the worst.

The teachers are bullies and dont care for the health and well-being of the children.
Dont resolve issues and attempt to bully parents for raising concerns.
