Morecambe Bay Academy

This school is absolutely terrible there is a big nosed bellend called mark salthouse who makes this school harndouse he has such a sad life he picks on children to make him feel better and he stares at young female students bottoms also caught him having a tug in his office

Awful school if your child has special educational needs. Bullying is horrendous at most schools but it's rife at this school and unless you provide solid evidence (which is difficult when they take the words of other children as gospel, because children don't lie to cover for their friends...obviously), either way they do very little. There is also a culture of victim blaming when it comes to bullying especially if the victim is too scared to speak up. Certain teachers like to take it upon themselves to diagnose mental health issues and put in various unnecessary referrals, wasting not only the pupil and parents time but the NHS time too. There are serious teacher training needs at this school around safeguarding and SEN especially. The Bay Learning Trust has some serious work to do on this school. In my opinion, they need to clear out all the arrogant teachers who think they know everything and treat all parents as if they are thick. As, the sad reality is, they lack compassion, respect and care. They don't know how to handle the needs of children with autism and treat all reactions as bad behaviour when really, the poor child just isn't able to handle the overwhelming wave of emotions they are having to deal with in a very public domain. So lets just constantly suspend them, even though all they did was react to extremely unkind behaviour....Like I say, serious training needed!

I have rated Morecambe Bay Academy as average. I think the school has some amazing staff that try there hardest every day to help us one being my maths teacher. Head of years are okay. However, the depty head teacher mr salthouse can be judgmental and doesnt treat everyone right. I feel majority of the classroom teachers are good teachers but some doesnt have a good understanding of us but i feel that happens in most schools. The reason my review is average and not good is because i think some staff could do better. However its like most high schools in england.

they excluded me for sharing my opinions of the school teachers don't do anything about kids bulling me i feel anxious everyday and they wont do anything to help me miss Stephens hates me

This school is absolutely horrendous. Teachers do absolutely nothing about Sen students and the budget is lower than anything in the school. Kids vaping, getting bullied by teachers. They give you an iso because of wearing eyelashes. Having a whole building dedicated to removal says a lot. Almost my entire class time was spent in removal. Awful school. Moving school soon as this school is unfit for anyone. Absolutely do not send your kids here as the teachers, students, and overall environment are not helping your education

Awful, terrible school. Do not send your child here. Bullying is awful. Nothing gets done. I attempted suicide and the head of year said I wore my heart on my sleeve. Absolutely terrible. I will not be sending my own child to this school. Lessons are routinely disrupted by poor behaviour and the education of other students repeatedly interrupted.

The school is an absolute joke... being serious. everyone there knows that already. they don't do shit for people with mental health problems. they put them into isolation and threaten them with being expelled. days are a drag and drain the life out of every kid in there. if they rightly decide to skip, you somehow get the same punishment as being genuinely ill.. being fined and targeted harassment by the reception staff. if you're sick you get an extra bonus. they either judge your parents for letting you in like that (even though they begged the parents to get you in) or they let you stay in school all day, while sick. spreading your illness to your nearby classmates... now who wouldn't want to get terribly sick while trying to get through school. Many teachers simply can't do their jobs and spend most of their time arguing with students or acting mindlessly petty towards them. I can personally count less than 5 teachers who can actually do their job. most people know that some teachers are just full blown predators, spending their time getting as much children as they can before being arrested. and when one of them does get arrested. the school will cover it up and denounce the teachers victims. which is absolutely disgusting. The Bullying in this school is absolutely horrific. as when you get as much freedom as you do here.. because there is no control. mean spirited, bullies will run the school. in all regards. which results in.. alot more people than average getting bullied. May I also recommend bringing cologne with you. because the schools hygiene is so poor, it will make whatever clothes you're wearing reek by lunchtime. especially the uniforms. which are made from a material which keeps scents in. so while when you think of a smelly person normally you think of the sour smell of armpits. here, pretty much everyone will have a scent of a used toilet. marinating for days. unless you bring in cologne, body mist or perfume. which will run out quicker if you really hate the schools smell. which most people will. Some of the only good things about the school. other than leaving. is the imported food and drinks which come with every school. and some of the food the cooks make. which gets overshadowed how they make their cooks produce more food.. for a lunch which starts earlier.

This school should be closed down, complained of bullying and property damage multiple times only to be ignored and this school does NOT care about the wellbeing of it's students look elsewhere do not send your child here please!

Horrible school, teachers are nasty piece of work, Mr Salthouse bully’s the children and had no respect, kicked several students out for no reason doesn’t provide any help for any students, my child was on her period and told the whole class she leaked because the teacher wouldn’t let her go to the toilet-absolutely disgusting!!They go through the children’s phone without parent permission.

Students mentally and physically abused by staff then a huge cover up. Once police involved and dealt with the staff have conspired, bullied and harassed in the hope of a change of school, this has not happened so their tactics are to make up lies and scenarios with zero evidence to grant exclusions while the education being achieved is diabolical. They block complaints to stop is escalating to the education department and the over use of the isolation booths is departmental to well being. There is clear policies and procedures to follow which get twisted to suit staff and the code of conduct/duty of care is non existant. There is no communication between staff for the benefit of the student only for their own advantage to cover their deciet. The receptionists are rude they call students names then lie about doing so, the attendance team threaten with fines when off with sickness and demand to see student in school only to send student straight home and judge the parent for sending a child to school poorly. There has been 3-4 new principles in the past 2 years giving no consistency and stability to the school, to many chiefs not enough Indians comes to mind. Staff seem more focused on gaining hierarchy ,power and control than they do about educating children. I 100 percent do not recommend this school to anyone. Be very very aware.

Awful school, was bullied then told it was my fault, teachers don’t do anything about in class bullying, too many supply teachers, don’t ow what’s going on in there own classrooms, awful, awful school, would never recommend, disgusting standards, absolute joke of a school.

Never go to this place. I was assaulted 7 times before I was taken out of school completely because I nearly took my own life. This school is a joke and does nothing to help you at all. Especially when teachers say you lie about your medical conditions. My grades were that low I was going to drop out anyway. Now I’m at a much better school and doing better than ever. Also anyone LGBTQ+ , expect a lot of hate from teachers.
