Lydiard Park Academy

do NOT go here. their support for mental health is shit. the bare minimum they will do it put you on the schools counselling list. they honestly dont care and will leave it to the counsellor. i was being bullied and theu told me they were just joking. its such a shit school and needs much more than improvement.

Teachers are not very understanding and a teacher made jokes about something very serious. There was a bomb threat which made many students scared to come to come and not safe. The food is always the same and its not good quality. They allowed a student to miss nearly an entire year off school and was also not homeschooling. They authorised all their absences but when i took a few days off for my mental health they marked it as unauthorised. I think the school is very bad for mental health and they need to work on it.

some of the teachers are nice but most aren't- they give consequences for no reason. also there was a bomb threat. do not feel safe

Very bad place for children My child had very hard life in that school we shouldn't ever leave previous one.As my child had ADHD and on top of that she would be so stress that she would throw up everyday in school ,she got depression she wasn't able to get out of the bad and we all got I'll in the house of stress that heads of year would give us not her not other kids it was them.The school doesn't worry about learning ,getting them ready for life ,protect when they need .No only was important gossipping make children to hate each others , uniform and lies constantly lies .We been distributed all the time at work but when we needed help nobody wouldn't help us .Even now

I regret wanting to join lydiard park academy. Rubbish school and teachers do nothing about mental health and bullying, I was bullied and the teachers said oh it’s just girls being girls . No it wasn’t if I was a parent and was choosing a school I would not pick LPA

i am a current student at this school. honestly this school puts on a big show about mental health but they don’t really care at all. someone i know was having a panic attack and they put her in a room all by herself when she couldn’t breath luckily it was okay because she talked to them about it and they said they won’t do it again. the receptionist at this school is lovely she is always there for every student and teacher and she is so easy to talk to. this school is alright but if you are considering coming to this school try talking to other students about what they honestly think about it. they have such amazing art and design and photography lessons and if you enjoy pe then this is a great school.

Use school. Sports teams are thriving especially football and rugby. They have girls football and girls rugby and girls netball team which are doing very good

Some teachers are OK, most aren't. Since I can't say names, year 11 head of year is a bully. They pick favourites and bully the others. Have no standards. The actual head teacher is nice enough but is obviously to the way the teachers treat the students. They don't care about homophobia,racism and the rest. The amount of suicide attempts this year and they haven't considered maybe they shouldn't be so harsh.

They do not deal with bullying well at all. Not a good school for someone who struggles with their mental health because they really don't care.
