    Terrible School

    Awfully run school. There was some really bad classmates who bullied me relentlessly. Nothing was done. The head of Tutte House couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. The food was the only thing great about it. Yet, the prices were crazy as well. There were some really abusive teachers as well. One of the geography teachers, one of the science teachers, and and one of the Maths teachers were really harsh for no reason whatsoever. And their teaching sucked. Same with the Spanish teacher. W...

    Worst school in Suffolk

    Worst school I’ve ever attended, they insult you for doing one minor thing wrong instead of encouraging you to get it right, the headmaster told me that I’m not important in anyone’s life’s and when I reported it he only got a warning same goes with when a pastoral officer slapped me for trying to grab my phone back I reported that to and he only got a warning. This school is also very known for bullying, some members of staff even find that the bullying of certain students is funny, they say it...

    How bad the school is

    The school is absolutely terrible because one the toilets only one set of boys and 2 girls they need to im prove them by sending 5 thousand pounds on the windows and bathrooms . Another reason why it is terrible is the bullying: the teachers do nothing about it they just said ignore them and go away from it . It is also a non gum school but yet there is gum under the tables and chairs in every class room . Another reason is the lines for food: people cut in front and shove you around to the floo...

    Avoid unless drastic changes are made

    I am writing to express my concerns regarding the conduct and disciplinary procedures at Newmarket Academy, which have significantly affected my child’s experience. Over the past five months, it has come to my attention that the school operates under a disciplinary approach akin to a military camp, with punitive measures that appear disproportionate and, in some cases, unjust. Specifically, I have observed that boys are subjected to harsher disciplinary actions compared to their female counterp...

    Many problems with this school.

    Please do not send your children to the academy. ever. The school claims they have a "zero tolerance" policy for bullying, but this is everything but the truth, if a student has clearly been a subject to bullying for a long time and the parents report it, the school will respond saying they will take action and consequences will be placed if needed but this is far from the truth. The school wont lift a finger to take action. Not to mention the schools severe lack of decent teachers, this is due to the fact that many teachers have left (I don't blame them) and the replacement are either people with zero experience with teaching, or a "temporary" substitute teacher who cant control their students, both of which replacements have 0 knowledge of the subject. Not to mention many of the teachers are sexist, racist, homophobic etc. One teacher got exposed through a variety of creepy emails (no telling if they were fake or real) and not soon after he left the school "without reason". Parents weren't told anything about the situation and still haven't heard a word. The replacement couldn't ever control his students leading to many people being removed from the lesson, every lesson, another issue is whenever a student asked for help with their work, he would completely ignore them and do his own thing. The schools toilets are always closed for vandalism reasons or renovation reasons, and some have been closed permanently. A recent issue is shoes. Yeah, shoes. As the school year is starting the school have decided that any "trainer like" shoes will be banned, even if they are black leather shoes. This is forcing parents to waste money on shoes the students don't feel comfortable wearing because they simply don't like them. The Staff have threatened parents with detentions for their children and even threats to force students to wear plimpsolls if they are caught wearing something that the students find comfy and actually want to wear.

    Absolutely awful.

    The school is horrible. The people you go to for help hardly help. Help for bullying is none existent, teachers have no control over the class and then the school Cates about the public image of itself more than the students.
