Harris Academy Sutton

majority of teachers are nice and good however some are awful at teaching. way too strict on uniform rules you can't walk in the building in the morning without hearing some teacher screaming at kids to take their coats off because apparently that matters. getting to lessons is really hard as there is no space in the corridors sometimes they're so packed it's impossible to move and there's never space to sit down at lunch as there's only enough tables for a fraction of the school. the school is really bad with dealing with situations sometimes. not the worst school ever there were definitely good times there but I'm so happy I've left this school now I hated almost every second of being there

Hello and good morning to all the beautiful people of Sutton, I am writing to share my latest experience with Harris Academy Sutton. Unfortunately, I have found the school’s detention policies to be deeply troubling, as they seem to prioritize punitive measures over the well-being of students. My child began attending this school in Year 7, and within the first year, he received 3-4 detentions due to errors on the school’s part. After extensive discussions with the principal and vice principal at the time, I decided to withdraw my support for the school. The administration appeared to deflect their mistakes onto my child rather than taking responsibility. Just yesterday, my son received a detention for being late to school by only 15-20 minutes because he had a stomach ache and diarrhea. I personally called the reception while he was still outside the school to ask them to let him in. Despite this, they made him wait outside for 6-7 minutes, seemingly to justify the detention for lateness. If you want your child to study in peace and maintain good mental health, I strongly advise against enrolling them in this school. While I initially believed this school to be among the best, it has become clear that the current environment is hypocritical. Students are punished for innocent mistakes while staff errors are dismissed as misunderstandings. Please reconsider your options for your child’s education. If you love your child, avoid this school. Home schooling or finding another school would be a much better choice. Thank you.

They only are there for the money They are only there for the power they are given They cant comprehend when a person is sad The sen team is Horrible If i could rate it less i would And if anyone attending the school still currently views this i feel so bad for you. If i had the option to go back to that school or have a low paying job i would pick the low paying job. I have so much hatred for this school, They do not care whatsoever for anyone who as Disability's or mental issues, Anyone who is hurt, Or even some of the staff there.

Overall I like this school it’s mostly good but my friends literally got a detention for helping a new student to class when she was only here for a few weeks! Like how is that fair?- Also I got a detention for just being late to lesson because I got confused to where I had to go. In the playground there’s kids swearing a lot sometimes like I literally hear kids swearing and the teachers don’t do anything and there’s also inappropriate drawings in the toilets it’s a little disgusting, yet my friends get a detention for helping someone new to class! Oh and also in my other friend’s class there’s children literally being sus with each other and in y7 don’t even get me started on the weird noises (m0aning)- Overall it’s good though since most of the teachers are good at the subjects they teach it’s only the sub teachers which are a bit weird sometimes. Like there was this one substitute teacher that didn’t allow ANY pictures of slavery in history (cover lesson) when it was educational. It wasn’t meant to OFFEND YOU. it was meant to EDUCATE YOU. But also yeah don’t get me started on the toilets- they literally BLOCKED OFF THE TOILETS DURING EXAMS TIME- and they kept it that way after and it’s very annoying but oh well. But as I said, the learning is mostly good, and some of the teachers are very nice! Shoutouts to miss Williams (maths), miss Williams (geography), miss kenny (who sadly left), miss havenga (also left), and miss Anthony! Also to miss broadbent and mr kureshy!

It smells for some reason and just isn’t that good

This is a horrible school they constantly talk about how they want children to express themselves when they are overwhelming children and stressing them out.My child used to go here and the were constantly coming home upset as they were forced to attend clubs they don’t enjoy and that they are being picked on by teachers and laughed at when trying to reach out.

Harris academy Sutton is one of the best out there you should definitely consider getting your little kids to go there

This school is a okay school quite strict but they push your limits which is good there is bullying but not much but like any school you will get that. Teachers are lovely and kind. And overall is a good school

I am a parent and I find Harris Academy Sutton as a school with two faces. They showing parents as good they are but children are treated there with out respect, unfairly like not humansj ust like items. My child was treated unfairly because English is not his first language. He has been told "come back where you come from " by other students and school did not deal with this situation. They do nothing. My child was facing many situation which I can call racist! Strongly do not recommend this school.

I got a detention for coming into school with white socks when it said specifically on the notebook that we got that white socks are allowed. I also got told that trousers where for boys and I am not allowed to wear them. I also got a isolation for being beaten up by a year 8. Overall this school is terrible and I don’t recommend
