    ITS VERY BAD

    I studied at this school and what can I say – the students here are truly awful. They’re racist and disgusting, thinking they look cool while mocking anyone who doesn’t fit into their so-called ‘status’ at school. No one will ever be happy for you – instead, you’ll only hear snide remarks, laughter, and insults. And many teachers just turn a blind eye to all of it. As for fair grades? Teachers really do give the golden ticket mostly to those who behave terribly in class and treat others badly. B...

    Awful school

    Some of the teachers here think it's acceptable to harass my daughter, constantly destroy her mental health and the latest suspension has been for wearing her Christian cross ? I'm not grading this school as it doesn't deserve any.

    Avoid going to John Madejski Academy

    Please do not attend this school. I promise you that this school is the worst to attend. Your child would not benefit from JMA. I've attended other schools and this one is by far the worst one in its area. They do not know how to work with coloured or troubled children. I would not speak out if I did not believe I was meant to. I truly believe that this school is under bad management and would be traumatic for young children. The staff do not look out for the safety of their students and allow all sorts of inappropriate and dangerous acts to happen on their school grounds.

    JMA Review

    Students have a great bond between each other and your alwyas welcome for a chat.Many varities of sports across the grounds and many extra curricular clubs after school hours.Very large departments which don't specifically teach one thing .

    Not a good time.

    I do not recommend this school. Can genuinely say it was the worst time of my life. The "Zero Tolerance" for bullying is not adhered to. and it is just a horribly executed establishment. Maybe it's changed since then, but I doubt enough can change in a year to warrant sending your children there.

    Honest

    This school is terrible I regret going here, teachers treat people differently to a higher extent and they are also very condescending and unhelpful I would send your child to another school
