    Do not send your kids to this school

    This school needs shutting down immediately…!!!!! The teachers have no control over the children and get into full blown battles with the kids. Name calling and bullying them about there disabilities. Kids smoking & police there on a regular how is this school still running. All I see on social media is negative reports of this school.

    Orchard Mead Academy Honest Review.

    Well how do I start... Some teachers can be more friendly and approachable then others I feel like some teachers just go there to get paid. Favourites can be a problem a class should be treated as equals. Not all teachers follow the consequence/reward system. Some teachers give consequences and no house points and likewise. There should be harsher cautions or teachers should follow the consequence route with disruptive and rude students. Some students make inappropriate comments during lessons t...

    Don’t recommend going here

    Basiaclly when I went there which was just under a year ago it was prodominantly white - nothigg by wrong with that but a mix of people would’ve been nice ?. Anyways thats not why I gave it one star students where racist , Islamaphobic and they smoke a lot O.o it was probably their first time seeing some Muslims not gonna lie because they had nO respect.
