Ormiston Bolingbroke Academy

I will not name names, school is a joke, children run loose and the only punishment is Isolation. They shove our children into Isolation with no regard of their well-being. Detentions are a joke, there is no safety and it deserves to be shut down. Ofsted need to have a real check of this place, it is absolutely terrible and there is fights every single day, as students do not care about their grades because they are taught to be sneaky but be good. The teachers do not care what goes on aslong as they are okay and they are not affected. The safeguarding is just a scrap. They ask you once after a big incident if u are alright, then if u say yes that’s it. If you say no, they say they will ‘investigate’ more and never do. Reception ladies were okay, but spoke very rudely to me for no apparent reason. School is bonkers, no rules set into place and the teachers don’t care.

This school protected my sexual assaulted from being called out as such, as that was apparently "bullying", more than they protected me from him. They had the guts to tell my parents they thought I was lying about it too. Let that sink in people. This school does not care about it's students. At all.

bad place hope it gets shut down

School full of plonkers

Gregs sausage roles ?

I love this school at first it was scary as mr gillard tried liking my ballsack but after a while the worst he did was give me a handjob during maths after a couple of months of this school i become very comfortable with all teachers and even joined in sexual activity with many of them such as mr macentire and gilard.now that ive been here for 4 years now and have been in many baths and showers after pe with daddy mac and kingy which I enjoyed to my fullest ive also engulfed my pubes and anus deep inside his ass and mrs anal opening’s vagina

Terrible school. The truth is that the school hides behind a wall of “Excellence” while at truth being a public school with teachers that you can count on one hand who actually want to teach. Aweful care standards and a ridiculously handled “Safguarding” scheme which is more of a joke than the teaching in there. Would not recommend to anyone

OBA is a school for students who don't have mental health issues. While the school often offers help for those in need of it, they are usually the cause of the issue, or they worsen it. Multiple people have stated that calling home about something will worsen their mental situation due to the danger, but safeguarding still did it and were shocked when the kid said it didn't help - no shit sherlock, the kid knows more about their home life than you! While the school is better than most in the area, it doesn't make it a good one. Teachers rarely give students a break - students who are evidently suffering are still forced to work with fear of consequences if they don't. They overload us with work and homework, especially during the pandemic when home learning takes place. Additionally, the behaviour towards bigotry such as racism, trans/homophobia, sexism and misogyny etc is disgraceful. The school allows uneducated cishets to make PowerPoints about the LGBT+ community, the Black Lives Matter movement is only ever discussed on a wet day when P.E is taught in a classroom (and that's only for the kids who don't do theory!), in the past 2 students have held hands and were told they would get "done for heterophobia" by a teacher, and upon explaining gender dysphoria, transgender students felt threatened by a safeguarding member so much so that they had to then lie about the statements they wrote. Further to this, members of staff are biased towards certain students. Usually, they will focus on a student on their phone and make an issue about it rather than focusing on the bullying and/or harrassment going on at the other side of the room. One of the school's worst features is how they make us all look the same, despite telling us to "dare to shine" while we sit in our grey and black uniform, bored of ourselves. Firstly, they allow no fake nails or rings, which is understandable because of P.E. But then, they don't allow natural nails to be painted. They don't allow earrings or necklaces or piercings for god's sake. You aren't allowed to have bows on your school shoes, you can't walk around anywhere but the classroom without your blazer on (even in the summer), you get told to take coats and hats off the second you walk through the door, even when your hands are filled with sanitizer, and you arent allowed to wear your own hoodie/jacket for P.E, or even just in general. Some students may use certain articles of clothing for comfort, and feel distressed when told to remove them or put them away. Also, a good amount of students can't afford a £40 OBA hoodie! In class or at lunch you are not allowed to listen to music, even in a room on your own or with a member of staff you are not allowed to, EVEN IF you're clearly distressed and need to relax. A lot of students have claimed to leave class when something bad happens, so they can escape to the toilet with a sharpener or scissors, or even a cigarette. School does not allow for coping with addictions (or coping in general for that matter). Unfortunately, there is no better school to go to in the area than OBA. Move away? Sure. Go ahead, if you can deal with change then why not? But it's not that easy for some. Trying to think of a good point about the school is hard. Even on the last day they'd never let you wear your own clothes or bows on your shoes. However, two or three staff members are quite chill, you'll be lucky to have them for your classes. To anyone attending oba who is struggling, I wish you luck. Stay alive, it gets better tomorrow I promise. Edit: Holy poo I wrote so much
