Montrose Academy

Mrs Rankin , Miss Mackie are the only 2 teachers I trust with my life , they always make time for me , they never take fhere anger out on me , they are genuinely such good DHT , but the rest of the school is an absolute shit show , Im a pupil and Im in S4 , prelims are just around the corner and Im so scared for them . I have spoken to Mrs Rankin about it and she told me I could get a AAR for them and my exams, the only reason I go to school is to speak to my teachers ( my fav ones ) they always give me advice when needed and Mrs Rankin has never given up on me , always giving a hand when needed , I sat with her for a whole hour crying about my problems and she didn’t judge me , didn’t tell me I would be fine , she say there and listened xx

As a former student who left in 2024, this place is an infringement on the Geneva Convention & they need to bomb it. Horrendous place for students who don't fit in or have any spark of creativity. If you're thinking of sending your child here, just don't. Please consider anywhere else, this place was shite even when I was here, and it's only gotten worse.

I’m a student at this school and it’s joke you can’t go in the school in the mornings cause the doors are locked and you can only go in the back where the canteen is. Mr smart always goes in the boys bathrooms and does nothing but when in the girls bathrooms he’s always shouting and knocks on the stall door and SLT is always standing outside the bathroom and gives everyone like 5 minutes. I asked my guidance to write out to all my teachers to say I was struggling and all the teachers still haven’t. My art, home economics, Spanish and science teacher just take the mick with not letting me go to the bathroom and always saying I don’t do work when I do. They do nothing with bullying and you can’t even go upstairs at break or lunch you just have to stay out in the cold. I don’t recommend putting your child to this school #cancelmrdewar #cancelmrsmart #cancelmrarbuckle

Im a pupil at this school , this school is horrible , I asked my teacher multiple times to go to the toilet and I was on my period and he kept telling me no , my English teacher put me at a desk by myself when everyone else has a friend , i cant focus in classes anymore and this school does nothing about mental health , Im literally scared to ask a teacher for help incase i get screamed at , So Im failing most of my classes

Montrose academy is an absolute horror show the atmosphere there is disgraceful. The kids there do not get any help what so even with mental heath! The head teacher who is a male will sometimes come in the girls toilets and shout to get out and stand there untill he thinks everyone is out and then a female teacher will come in and shout at everyone even if there upset! The school is an utter disgrace and setting the kids up to fail. The teachers have got no respect to students what so even and some teachers are just disgusting! I am so disappointed with the lack of respect coming from teachers and pupls. The school hasn’t had a fresh coat of paint for about 3 years there’s holes in the wall with power coming out of it and dust is everywhere there is also gum stuck everywhere. They have also got a one way system rule it’s a disaster if you don’t follow the one way system you get a message home about not following it!

Montrose academy is horrible it’s such a bad school I do not recommend. You do not get any help for mental health at all. The school is leaking and paint falling off the walls. the school bathrooms the head teacher come into the bathrooms and knock on stalls they have been using screw drivers to unlock cubicles!! Pupils do not get the help and support they need bulling is horrific terrible language used from teachers. pupils get chased around the school in tears. There is no good teachers when I went there all horrible and treat pupils with no respect. the one way system is a joke!!!! Do not send your kids to this school there is creepy teachers. The walls are falling apart and have holes and powder coming from them. The food tastes like crap it tastes horrible I never ate in the canteen because of the food I had plenty of uncooked muffins that had me ill for days the food gave me food poisoning. It is horrible the male toilets do not get cleaned the pee smells out the whole corridor. You’re not allowed to be in the school building in the mornings. Most of the teachers don’t have a clue and are setting the kids up to FAIL !!!!!

As someone who’s been going here for years and just left years ago. gosh it’s hell. “Respect” mr smart (idiot) says but half of his teachers are so rude for no reason??? They’ve been there for so long yet they haven’t changed and surely they’d be getting complaints right? Apparently not bc mr dumbass will defend the life out them just because they only respect the head, not the students . What’s worse is they can’t handle the bullying problem, one time a girl in my school years younger got bullied that she tried to fight back and wanna know what happened? She got suspended for a month and the bullies only got a talk, A TALK. Out of context Having a second inspection is honestly crazy because at this point this school should just shut down like look at your teachers, look at the pupils who beg to leave this shithole, it’s miserable and unprofessional of the teachers. I know someone that still goes there and they can confirm it’s still the same hellhole

Im a student who goes there and its disgusting the girls bathrooms are a mess teachers are soo strict bullying dosent get dealt with school roof is falling down, leaks, food isnt cooked sometimes i got a chicken burger which was impossible to break...

they need to fix the doors i just broke my toe from the bottom of the HEAVY door closing on me

My experience at this school is terrible. They lock the bathrooms and refuse people to enter. They pressure and knock and shout at you to get out. I have gotten a urine infection because of this.A male head teacher also comes into the girls bathroom. The bathrooms is a massive problem.

At Montrose Academy the head teacher who is male sits outside the school toilet and often goes inside with other female teachers to knock on cubicles when people are doing their business. One time i was changing my sanitary products and i had a member of SLT knock on my cubicle door and shout at me to get out. Some teachers clearly show they do not want to teach and are not eager to educate people. This worries me and other students because we feel like we aren’t getting taught our full potential and feel unsafe in the bathroom.

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS SHAMBLES MY DAUGHTER IS GOING TO FAIL?!!! AND YOUR NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ? She tried to get the help she needed but NO, NO ONE HELPED HER SHES GOING TO FAIL ALL OF HER EXAMS BECAUSE OF SILLY TEACHERS THAT CANT DO THEIR JOB WHEN SHE ASKS FOR HELP Montrose atmosphere is absolutely shambles no teacher takes the work seriously and is only there for the money

The place was an absolute horror show for the year I was there, between the building falling apart and the rampant bullying and fighting going on, I am actually shocked I learned anything. Don’t send your children here, for they might not learn anything. The food tasted like wet cardboard and air, teachers just didn’t give a damn and drugs all over the place. With how inattentive some of the teachers were, you could probably pull off a full on drug deal in class.

Teachers don’t care, don’t help and don’t even have enough supplies for the school.

It's okay I guess. Failed maths ?✌️but every thing else is fine. Hate the one way system tho

Awful they don’t help mental health one bit and they don’t help at all with very much

Absolute state of this place Just left n acc wanted to commit. School are always understaffed, big Malcolm enjoys a wee power trip as does wills. Absolute joke of a school, and no help whatsoever when it comes to exam term

the school is an absolute shit show
