Lincroft Academy

Failing school, not fit for purpose. Had to pull my son out of year 10 due to learning needs not being met, bullying and poor communication from the school. Since starting a new school 6 months ago he is now thriving and his mental health has drastically improved. I assumed Lincroft was a good seconday school due to its location in a decent area, but I was so wrong.

I HATE this school.NEVER send your kids there. They treat autistic pupils unfairly , teachers don’t even care about your mental health, you will get emails if you are off sick for ONE DAY saying you need to come into school they wouldn’t even care if u had a virus they will still tell you to come in, lots of bullying, spent money on unisex toilets wich nobody asked for or needed they just did it to look like a amazing school DONT BE FOOLED BY LINCROFT!!!

Lessons are boring, teachers are incompetent and incapable of controlling their pupils, most of the kids are completely unremarkable at best and completely obnoxious at worst. Their whole disciplinary system- wait there isn't one, they just make it up as they go along. Absolutely zero help for students with learning and/or behavioural difficulties because that would require effort on their part and they can't be bothered (they'd rather spend that money on nice new unisex toilets that nobody asked for, wanted or needed or they'd prefer to just line their own pockets instead as apparently it isn't enough to just receive a salary, you also have to embezzle funds at the same time. Students are seemingly permitted to blatantly perform acts that would be considered sexual harassment and/or assault anywhere outside of the school environment. Certain staff members, including one female HOY (Head of Year) are either LGBTphobic or simply don't care about LGBT students being subjected to abuse by others even when it happens right in front of them. Racism is also completely unchallenged by staff and often left to pupils to deal with it themselves which they subsequently get wrongly punished for. It is far too easy to get weapons inside of the school as in the past year alone I know of at least 3 incidents of blades being brought into the school, one of which was a knife, but they'd rather take completely harmless objects such as lighters off of pupils (but weirdly permit vapes and matches???). If I haven't made my point clear enough already, then just check the schools OFSTED report, all that has happened since the new Headmaster took over is a continuation in the decline of the standard of education the students are receiving, in the competence and professionalism of the staff they employ and a steady decline in care for the general school environment, if this isn't proof enough of the complete and utter lack of care for the school and its students, as well as proof of what a circus this place has turned into and how much of a clown the Headmaster is (as well as a large number of his staff are it must be said) then I don't know what is. So for the love of God, Allah, Santa Claus, The Force and whatever else you believe in, don't send your children there, if you have so much as a shred of respect, not even for them, but for yourself then I beg you not to do it. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and if you have any further questions regarding my judgement of the school and would like to know more then please feel free to email me at HaroldGWest123789@gmail.com and once again, thank you for your time.

It’s a horrible school which treats autistic people unfairly. The canteen is dreadful and the oak block is basically a cardboard box with stairs .

its dreadful and i literally hate everyone there so just pick another school

Didnt really like it when I was there but once I left I actually missed it. I changed schools and realised how much they did. Some rules are a bit strict wont lie. But yeah, would go back there
