Inverurie Academy

Inverurie is an absolute shithole. Never send a kid here. Yeah, fair enough, the campus is in its 10s of millions of pounds, decent food and drink, great learning recourses. As far as the structure of a school can go, its great. However, the bell sounds like a an alert on your phone if a nuclear war was to break out. The majority of substitute teachers are incompetent and barely anything is done to combat bullying and vaping/smoking. Not allowed to drink juice, go on phones, even in corridors. Strikes are common too. I feel like common crap before school and feel 3 times worse after school.

Inverurie academy

This school is absolutely disgusting staff get abused verbally from students, also get sexually harassed school does nothing to pupils, kids waving Stanley blades in kids faces teachers do nothing psa had to intervene!!! Again no action taken against pupil what is Inverurie academy doing, I thought schools were ment to be safe place for pupils and teachers, in this school clearly not, kids make up false statements to police and are believed where's the basic principles of right and wrong being taught!
Aberdeenshire Council need to do something about this school before someone gets seriously hurt!!!

WORST SCHOOL EVER!!

Worst school ever !! Do not care about any students unless you’re part of LGBTQ or have a disability. even when you’re struggling bad with ur MH they tell u to go to class and do not try help at all. Not enough support for students and when ur bad behaved they just give u in trouble even tho your struggling mentally. Guidance teachers are awful expect one. Would not send your kids here they do nothing to help students. which is unacceptable. Students don’t even learn. The main thing that’s awful is kids mental health teachers should be helping not making it worse.

horrible school

school is really bad. students aren’t treated equally and you only get support if ur part of LGBTQ or you have a disability. Guidance teachers do not care about students at all even if you’re struggling. Don’t care about students mental health at all and let us suffer. Teachers have favourites which is not right we should all be treated the same. Do not send your kids here. They don’t care about anything as long as they’re getting payed. Worst school ever wouldn’t recommend.

Needs work

Not enough space for the amount of students there. Often feel like just another student and not much support is offered for mental health.

Should u send your child here ? No. and here’s why

The New Head Teacher -
His rules are very interesting, in a bad way. You are not aloud to stand up in the cafeteria, when there isn’t enough space for everyone to sit down. He is also very strict and prone to picking on some S2s and 3s.
Also, the bullying system here is unbelievable, all the guidance team do is ‘have a meeting’ and suspend the so called bully without any proof.

Brilliant

Definitely has its downsides as all schools do. However, I cannot imagine going to any other school. My first 3 years weren’t great (not anything to do with school) but it started to look up from s4 and above and I loved it - for the most part. Most of the teachers are great and really understanding an supportive as well as inspiring.

Don't send your kids here

I can't wait to leave, teachers think they can talk to kids however they like and act like they couldn't care less about the students well being as well as academic results. Their policy on bullying is awful and the teacher who deals with it takes the side of whoever tells them about it and doesn't hear more than one side of the story and in cases of bullying against the person they say " just ignore it" or " be the bigger person" and at most all they have done is have a conversation about it and tells the bully to stop and when the bullying continues they do nothing else. They teachers have obvious favourite students and don't even try hide it, they don't motivate students or want them to do well. They make your life difficult if you are struggling or if you find it easy and need more work. And don't even get me started on the endless fights inside and out school doesn't even feel safe anymore, If you are considering sending your child here please reconsider

Terrible

Hate it, don’t do anything about bullying. Rough fights everyday and the only way they solve things is by suspending you which does nothing.

Bad teachers

I had to move from Inverurie academy because it was really bad for my mental health I was feeling very anxious and I couldn’t go and when I didn’t go the teachers would just put heaps of pressure on me and make me feel way worse than I already did and a few of the teachers will pick on certain kids and blame them for everything, there is one teacher that has a few favourites and it’s not fair no teacher should have a favourite student and would even get involved in the drama that we all had and this teacher would side with pupils if there was anything argument and they would get involved I couldn’t go to that class I enjoyed the actual stupid tho and I wanted to go further with it but sadly I couldn’t because I was so nervous about going to that class.
This school has really ruined my future my grades and attendance are terrible because instead of helping me they just made my mental health worse I do not recommend this school.

(Not that I experienced bullying myself but I have noticed they way they handle bullying is terrible the only thing they do is say “well we will have a meeting” which means they will take the victim and the bully and make them talk and then they think that solves it)
