Kettering Buccleuch Academy

staff need to sort themselves out, bad tempers, dont know how to control kids with mental issues food is too expensive and always cold, dry, hard to bite into/stale education and activites is great overall, minor issues environment as a whole is partially welcoming, fights happen often in and outside school, punishments are harsh uniform is uncomfortable, expensive, poorly made, especially the pe uniform, strict policies towards uniform, ends in severe punishments that are not needed

-food is too expensive -well being team is terrible unless you misbehave in lessons - most teachers have a god complex and are unnecessarily rude to students -sixth formers have no freedom they can’t even have any visible tattoos even though most businesses wouldn’t care as long as they’re not offensive -no piercings or unnatural hair colours to be more “business like” but again, most people in work that ive seen havent stuck to that rule - the lunch and breaks are way too short -nice building

Much better quality teaching than anywhere else in the area, some negatives like lacking of freedoms to wear what you want but the school excels in the areas that really matter. Has improved greatly in the last few years and have nothing but gratitude to the school for the amazing teaching they have provided me leading me to get great GCSE’s

it’s a nice building but the teachers have a god complex the mental health team is shit unless you basically try to die in school they won’t do anything about it. the food is too expensive and quite poor quality. no individuality allowed any piercings or unnatural hair colours and you get sent home or put into isolation and uniform is more important that your education. lunch and breaks are too small and phones aren’t allowed in the building so you have to stand outside in the freezing cold. usually if you’re late by even a few minutes you get an hour detention after school which is unfair. i’ve been going for 12 years as it’s convenient but i can’t wait to leave as the sixth formers get treated like children

There are many facilities (such as sports, arts and dance) which are excellent and very well cared for, however the school lacks in terms of handling bullying and there is little to no support for mental health.

It is good because it is good.
