Leeds West Academy

hi, I go to Leeds west right now and may I just say? absolutely shite. teachers don’t know how to teacher whatsoever. I feel like I’m getting NO WHERE in my life. Jesus..

why is no stars not a opshun the teachers are petty and dont care

I go to LWA and I think the school is Alr tbh if talking about education and the looks of the school but the bullying is just no especially when the teachers don’t rlly do anything

The school is horrible and the teachers always touch you without permission. There are lots of fights and verbal abuse a teacher has called me a tramp and other obscenities twice. I've only been at the school for 3 years and the pastoral care has not changed one bit. If I could give 0 I would don't send your kid here

Bullying mafia and teachers not helping.

no respect at all they treat students like prisoners

I attended LWA for all 5 academic high school years, leaving with low confidence, below average grades and no aspiration for college, the classism, violence and homophobia i witnessed at this academy is something i struggle to understand as i've now experienced quality education in sixth form, i've had family in continuous physical and verbal altercations resulting in serious injury as a lack of discipline, their ofsted rating is a misleading introduction to the life of students, especially those who have learning or physical difficulties, the grades received by covid students in my experience were biased and unreliable in comparison to the grades received by peers attending other high schools due to a lack of testing, leaving me unprepared and lucky to have received a place in college at all given the disadvantage this academy gave me

This school's safeguarding is shocking my parents didn't give the school permission for me to go to Bolton abbey yet they still allowed me to get on the bus to leave when i told a member of staff they said i will ring your parent however they decided to call at 11 something when i was already 1 and a half hour into the trip so my parents didn't even know where their own child was! Another thing is i was once in the rlc and i got taken out and told i had failed for walking out (i hadn't) however they had got mine and a year 9 name mixed up.

Worst few years of my life. Don’t go to this school

This school is just disgusting overall. Favouritism applied to a few students in every year group and those are the ones who had the worst behaviour overall. Discrimination of all types was never dealt with properly, or effectively. If you were in a situation where you weren't the perpetrator, you were treated just as badly, to be "fair". Acting as an open minded and free sprited school is rather funny considering you're punished for any form of self expression, due to your race, gender or sexual orientation. Do not let or make your child go to this school, especially if you want them to have a good quality of education. Its horrible.

Leeds west , isn’t the best of school they don’t helo with bullying or sexual assaults or anything. they also favourite some students. one time i got shouted at and they made me cry and everyone was watching, it was really embarrassing and i was in year 7 at the time, just because i didn’t walk with this person to school. i have to sit with my old friend who watches me change in the areas i feel uncomfortable and they haven’t don’t anything about it and they still carry on. and the school food is disgusting, my stomach hurt for days after.

The school isn't really that great this girl in my year was forced to take her Hijab off because according to the school it wasn't for religious beliefs and she declined saying it was and the teacher then proceeded to say it's defiance of you don't listen (isolation) so she was forced for her Hijab to be taken off. The racism and just general hate inside the school is racist this one teacher had countlessly used th N slur and her defence was it isn't in a offensive way so she is allowed to say it.

From my point of view with this school it is slacking, they don’t care about you, your mental health or anything like that it’s not there problem in there eyes, it’s all about the clothing the jewellery, most of the students are on their phone in class and nothing gets said about it this school doesn’t care about there education they sit back allow students to take advantage of them

They don’t really care about you or how you feel

This pigsty is appalling! Full of racism, sexism, homophobia, bullying and whatever else you can think of, this school has! If a very small amount of your ankles are showing, you will be put in isolation for a whole day, you will be made to miss a full day’s education just because this school is offended by ankles. They are always talking about improving mental health yet they expect you to walk around feeling embarrassed and self-conscious wearing extremely baggy trousers that are too long for you. They’re absolutely disgusting, don’t send your kids here, you’ll regret it and your kids will be depressed.

Im going into year 11 in this school now, all throughout my time here ive frequently suffered and seen bullying, homophobia, racism and classism. I hate it here
