Horrendous school
worst school ever! i got traumatized by the mean kids and the teachers are pedophiles,they wink and look under girls skirts. This school nearly made me off myself,it made me so depressed to the point where i had to leave the country. The system is so shite you dont have any freedom at all its like North Korea,you cant express yourself in ANY shape or form,you couldnt even wear a different coloured bobble,its so pathetic. Please just please never ever in your life visit or come to this hell hole.

The truth about lord derby academy
Terrible school rude staff,lack of education,care more about chasing kids around the school than teaching lessons,atleast 5 fights a week,the 5 star hygiene level is from 2017-9 years ago,deserves a 2 and a half hygiene level at max,had a lot of racist comments towards pupils by the teachers,two of the teachers left because he got caught talking weird to a minor and the other teacher looked under the young females skirts,must include they let one of the teachers back to school once in a while to...

My amazing experience at Lord Derby Academy:
I absolutely adored my time at Lord Derby Academy! I attended the school between 2019 and 2024! I felt the education there was fantastic and it’s by far the best school in Knowsley! I performed in a Christmas showcase in Year 7 (I had also performed in one there in the summer when I was in Year 6; my primary was invited), I volunteered as a doorman in Year 7 for the school Open Days (which I loved) and I was a member of Pupil Parliament in both Year 7 and Year 9, before becoming the school’s Ambassador for Pupil Wellbeing in Year 10! I absolutely loved my time there and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about sending their child there!

Terrible school!
This school doesn’t even deserve the 1 star. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO THIS SCHOOL! Misogynistic and extremely uneducated. The lack of control teachers have over bullying between students is disgraceful. My sister has only ever experienced adult bullying in this school. I don’t know how they have ever passed offsted. More needs to be done about the state of this school.

The staff
They are a terrible school, they do nothing for any of the pupils wellbeings, they tell the children that they caused their own trauma/ptsd and they are rude to everyone. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL.

The Staff
The staff are unsupportive and can’t offer the support that some people need. They fail to recognise the fact that women have periods and only let us go to the toilet at break and lunch (2 hours apart) which has resulted in bleeding through (especially when you have a heavy flow).
