If You Care About Your Child's Think Twice
s a parent, I cannot recommend this school. If you value your child's mental health, confidence and wellbeing, I would strongly advise you to think very carefully before sending them here. In my experience, the culture of the school is overly punitive and lacks compassion. My child has been made to feel belittled rather than supported, and the way staff deal with pupils has had a significant impact on their confidence and mental wellbeing. One incident that sums up my concerns was when my child...

read if you want the best for your kids.
As a current student, I can honestly say this place has some of the worst priorities I’ve ever seen. Under the former headteacher, Mr Medway, the school was run like a military camp. The obsession with uniforms is ridiculous, while actual education is lacking tremendously. Teachers are constantly leaving, and its like the replacements are random people they found on the street, they don't know the actual content themselves, making them unable to teach students. Some teachers also seem far more i...

Do not send your children to Kingsmead Academy
I thought i had made a good choice by opting for this school, but iam now feeling that it is making my child detest school. They have unecessary detention and no safety for children's belongings with thieves on site. All they care about is to punish children instead of teaching them and valuing any effort they are making. Payment for canteen is a total rip off, even though you might be entitled to free meal. You complain and nobody cares to listen. They do not care about children, they do not care at all. This is making me depressed, because they are damaging the character of my child and crushing down his ambitions. I do not advise anybody to send their children there. If you love your child, keep him or her away from that school.

New School Moto:
"Sucking the joy out of childhood". There is a culture of fear felt by the majority of students. They cultivate a prison-type atmosphere where they shout first and ask questions later. From the stories I'm hearing, it sounds truly awful.

Quite good
Kingsmead is a great school which provides a lot of education and the teachers are funny and really good at teaching they do not tolerate bullying or bad behaviour which is the best part. The food is alright and have a lot of options.and have 58 clubs for extra curriculum.

Basically a prison
Headteacher does not care about the children's feelings and the rules are quite strict (tannoy, one way system, 4 minute passing period, no phones, no makeup, no piercings etc). Many children at this school are very unhappy attending this school and it is a living misery. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!
