It's not good but not terrible
Currently a student in the later years. The students are horrid and some teachers cannot gain control. In year 7 I only had substitute teachers meaning my year was behind on learning. They handle sets for subjects terribly mixing everyone up. Teachers mostly focus on bad kids instead of teachers and will just stop teaching sometimes. Canteen food is good. They constantly use ai. Adding a lot of rules that make no sense and confuse everyone. They are rebranding the school to green and yellow now...

A good school
This school certainly isn't the best, but it's okay. Most teachers are kind and supportive (if a little strict) and the lessons are fun if you put in the work. The only problem I have is the uniform. I saw a student get shouted at for wearing white socks. I personally don't understand it, but the teachers are just trying to do their job, I guess. I know Iceni has gone through some drastic changes the last couple of years, but I think it's changed for the better. I've made lifelong friends at thi...

this school is genuinely terrible.
im a student at this school and it is dreadful, i genuinely hate it. the teachers dont care how you feel, you are expected to be prim and perfect all the time, you are not allowed to have a bad day. some teachers arent like that though (there are very few who arent), and are instead really nice. since i joined the school almost all teachers i knew on the first day have left, almost all of my lessons now i have substitutes and i dont learn anything. if you have a personal issue, the person you te...

do not send your child here
bulldoze this place, set it on fire whatever. it needs to go. my experience here has been like hell on earth. the teacher don’t care about your mental health, they care more about what your shoes are or what jacket your wearing. do not send your kids here. they will suffer. all i do is get harassed and bullied, and so does everyone else. no matter what you are. You learn absolutely nothing with supply because all the teachers couldn’t stand it, i’m going to fail my exams because of this stupid place. i hate this place. please get me out of here xx

My opinion on Iceni academy so far
I am in year 8 now going up to year 9. Yes you may call me crazy but I have really enjoyed school so far. Yes you do have to put up with a lot of disruption from a few students time and time again but doesn’t every school? Wherever you go no school will have perfect students or amazing quality of the building altogether ( especially if it opened back in the late 1950s). Most members of staff are welcoming, friendly and kind and strict when they need to be to control a class ( you know who you ar...

A word of advice.
In the year I have been at this school (I transferred in year 8), there have been 3 headteachers. The school has made empty promises to deal with bullying and many other things. I have bean waiting for an entire year now for observations for an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) assesment/diagnosis and have been constantly told they have dealt with it, yet when I ask the woman in charge of writing it all together, she does not know if she actually has or not. A large amount of only decent teachers have now left, and many teachers are incredibly rude and disrespectful to students. I have witnessed multiple times students receiving a c1, then followed by a c2 for asking why they had a c1, then to be sent out the classroom for no reason whatsoever. My mother recently threatened the school, as I was the victim of a hate crime (I am both gay and transgender), she said that if it was not dealt with she would contact Ofsted, and the police, this is the only time they have ever listened to anyone. The toilets are an absolute disgrace, with toilet paper dispensers empty for the past month, missing from the wall or have swastikas drawn on them and the walls, the food isn't that bad, but could be better. The discipline is atrocious, students who have misbehaved are sent to the library where no one even keeps an eye on them, teachers are either too strict on innocent students or not properly dealing with the disruptive ones. The head of year 8 is a horrible woman, while I do understand she is trying to do her job, that gives her no right to put me under such amounts of pressure it ends up with me having a meltdown/panic attack whilst she tells me I'm going to receive a c3, OVER A PAIR OF GLOVES. Over all, the school is a horrible place to send your child and doing so will cause irreversible affects on your child's mental health.

Bad school
This school is very bad. I was in year 9 and got excluded for telling people to stop bullying me. The teachers only like you if you're a bully. I highly do not recommend this school especially if you are lgbtqia+ or shy or a poc as you will get bullied into suicide.
