    POOR SCHOOL CARENESS

    Awful school ever!! My son has got an isolation for no reason at all!!! Okay, maybe he was late to form or school whatever. But in the day detention was due, he had an appointment so I took him around lunch time just to see on my phone the next minute he’s got ISOLATION for not arrive to detention. HUMMERSKNOTT ACADEMY FIX YOURSELF NOW!

    absolutely awful

    staff was okay, they did nothing about bullying though, so it got to the point i left mid way through year ten due to being severely bullied and teacher not doing anything about it. would not recommend

    Please take notice!

    What an absolute hell hole. I won't hold back on my thoughts on this so called school. What a horrible little dump that school was. I still have nightmares to this day. I won't forget the misery that place brought upon me. PE teacher's were scum especially one called Souter Sooter or what ever the bullying little shit was called I'll never forget what the sad excuse of a man did to me in his office! Same goes for another lanky prick that used to call himself deputy head by the name of Jo*n T*dd (certainly a certain type head!) and another so called deputy head Merry*ield all a bunch of self entitled puerile bullying twa*s. If your child has special needs or gets bullied or is a misfit this school will single out your child out by putting the "Bad kids" in a single room whilst the posh good little kids go for an award assembly or even when ofsted come! Yes this is true! What does that do to a child's confidence? I genuinely hope with a passion that all the past students who got bullied and subjected to mental torture for example getting stuck in isolation every day without being able to get any dinner or even being allowed to go to the toilet come forward or cert I have to say bluntly the only children who will get on in this type of school are most likely bullies or be of a particular privileged background. Please if you care for your child take this review seriously and do not send your child here I hope that one day the failures of this so called school are exposed as for the certain bully teachers. Thank you for taking notice Yours sincerely A former student
