    Failure of the system

    I had a meeting last year to enroll my son in Leith Academy. I was told that someone would be in touch. I've never heard a thing. My son has now been out of school for a year and I've still had no reply after several attempts to contact the school. All I get is we will get someone to call you back. Absolute joke.

    Not a good thing to say

    Terrible. Got some male teachers that rub your thighs and back which seems very inappropriate. Also poor mental health support. While reaching out for help I was welcomed by “I don’t know what I should say to you” then when I eventually stopped going to school because of my mental health was not contacted once despite asking for help for years. Eventually me stopping going to school resulted in me becoming a drop out and I think this could have been easily avoided if the school Cared abit more f...

    I'd say poor

    This school is quite poor , for the past 4 and a half months I have been getting bullied , threatened and most of the teachers I have spoke to haven't done much about it at all and it's still going on right now .

    Leith academy review

    Leith academy has a huge creative department and the opportunities are plenty, the teachers are usually really good in pretty much all subjects, we have a safe space for lgbtqia+ students, an Eco Council, equality ambassadors and a pupil Council.

    Could be better

    Could do with more useful mental health awareness and a better system but otherwise not bad. Someone pulled a knife on me at school
