Longsands Academy

This school is absolutely horrible thank god I don’t go here anymore! Like seriously I got detentions for being only 1-2 minutes late, I was actually so so mad, I physically couldn’t get out of bed or anything and was always sick, then always got forced in by other teachers (I think one time I was out of lesson coz I needed to talk with a teacher on what was happening to me and all that because I was badly struggling) and instead it was all about my attendance, like what? Nobody gives a damn this school would’ve been the death of me (like actually), it got so bad I had to be honest with my parents on how I was struggling so they could actually do something about it instead of forcing me in (and they did so thank goodness), I had to get help because it was just bad as hell, I still have the worst dreams about this school and I used to have them every night. The students there are so bloody horrible too?? Like people in my year to be exact they were so rude to me and one time somebody that I knew told every I had autism (I do have autism) and everyone just sorta switched up on me, I also used to bring this plush for comfort and most people made fun of it (except some people and teachers who had respect) and like I couldn’t take it anymore so?‍♀️ this is overall a terrible school with a system and management that needs to be fixed.

all they do is stick child in isolation and excluded them teachers don't know what they doing spare your child and send them else where.

love the school my boyfriend goes there he's in year 10 . teachers are alright good school

This school is absolute bullcrap, the school doesn't allow any uniqueness in appearances, not even allowing jewellery or dyed hair, as well as adding a mandatory 6th period even though a lot of students just don't have the time, or a worn out by the end of the day, so they learn literally nothing from these lessons. the only saving grace is some of the teachers are way better than the school and are actually nice people, and try their best to make the bland bullshit lessons they have to give.

Omg I’ve just gone into y 11 after in and outs of lockdowns and they’ve decided to give us a sixth period 3 days a week taking away some of our free time it’s not like we chose to go into lockdown like my attention span is running short in the day as it is let alone make me have another hour of school and they go ahead to say it’s a privilege it absurd honestly I don’t have enough time in the day as it is I think the extra lessons should be option someone told as that if we can’t make it for a reason you need to move that reason but some things you can’t like you physically can’t

The other students are all very rude and judgemental the teachers say they are against bullying but do nothing to stop it, we can't express ourselves at all without getting a detention, we can't use our phones I once had my mum pick me up because I almost picked and was very ill and I don't like talking to people I'm not comfortable with which is all the teachers other than like 2 of them who are nice

Struggle to deal with bullying, which there is a lot of. Teachers are nice and helpful, but many can't control the students.
