    Avoid This School

    If I could’ve gave zero stars I would’ve!!!! Absolutely terrible school, do not send your kids there. My Grandson started this school last year in year 7 and it’s been an absolute nightmare for him. He’s been constantly bullied by one particular child who the school refuse to do anything about. My Grandson has gone home with a bloodied nose been subjected to abuse daily all while the other kids stand round laughing and filming. The school know all this as my Daughter has told them and they’ve se...

    Highfield leadership academy.

    My only advise would be stay clear. This school offers nothing to support your child and has declined in the last 3 years, 3 different head teachers. Most teachers do there best to educate your child.

    Nice building, People are off.

    The school building is nice, and there is much more support access for students. Bullying behaviour is average but is being worked on to be fixed. Teachers on a whole are decent, although sometimes they can be biased. I enjoy being at this school, though it must be improved.

    Absolutely crap

    Highfield has a good reputation but it’s like a book u can see the cover and like it but when when you read it it’s totally different. The teachers are very strict and are racist sometimes .

    No complaints at all!!

    Both my boys went through Highfield and yes it had it's issues as all schools do but some hide the issues better than others. We always found the teaching staff to be very responsive and the leadership team took on any feedback. In fairness you only get out of a school what you put into it. My two were both head boys and both took very active roles in the school all throughout the time they were there.

    disgusting school

    such a bad school, teachers don’t even teach you. They scream at you for crying and needing the toilet, They don’t let you go to the toilet at all they stand outside the toilets and do not let you in, even at break and lunch time they stand outside and don’t let anyone in. They like to make jokes about you apperence a lot , getting rid of all the actual good teachers , the school is in disgusting shape there’s so much dust and dirt everywhere and it’s not because of the children. The school needs to be shut down! They can’t run it. Also the cameras around the school don’t even work they are fake ones inside the building! Even high in less member of staff have agreed they are fake

    Not the best.

    Not very good. Teacher was found with vodka in a classroom, took 2 years for her to go. Too many teachers leave mid-term and they try to have senior leadership teachers be subject teachers meaning as students we miss out on huge amounts of content. I’m a year behind on my RE not even because of lockdown, it was because they gave us a supply who couldn’t teach RE. Behaviour has gotten better, and bullying incidents have gone down, it’s the teaching that isn’t the best though.

    It's a terrible school

    The teachers are homophobic,they pick on students with social anxiety and mental health problems. They constantly yell at students for no valid reason. One of the teachers drank vodka while cheating and once she pushed a student downstairs, it took two years to get her fired even though there were multiple eyewitnesses
