Terrible behaviour.

I think some of the parents would be shocked at the way their children behaved and being unruly. It’s a shame as if you kicked out some of the bad kids, the rest of the classes would learn so much.

As a parent I would not send my children back to this school.

Get rid of kids who don’t want to learn.

not the best school

I don't really recommend this school at all, you can send your kid here I you don't have a choice, but if you do, don't send your kid here. here's why.

1. The food. The food they provide sometimes has hair in it and from time to time , it's even out of date.
2. They throw away the water bottles that were paid for by the student. Parents put money on their child's account expecting them to have food AND a drink. Not to mention, they come around throwing your water in the recycling bin, probably not a good idea, is it?
3. A lot of teachers aren't really going to help you move up a set or get better. They talk about how you should move up a set saying that you can do it and all that kind jazz, but they don't really help you. you do bad on your test? they won't even show you what you got wrong so you can work on it.
4. Toilets. Most years have enough time to go to the toilet during lunch and break but during lunch, for year eight I believe, they can't really go to the toilet. they go outside to hang out with their mates, they eat and then they go to form. and the worst thing is that they're told they can't go to the toilet at all!! I understand that you need to learn and stuff but do they really expect a child to hold it in for two hours?
5. they waste money. they cry about not having enough money but then they go wasting it on a stem room that no one uses, new computer even though the previous ones were great..

I give this school a 2/5 because it makes many events where students can socialize and express themselves.

Bushfields flaws

Although the level of education was fairly good for the majority, they didn't cater to the students who struggled with mental health for projects or those who had a different way of leaning which often resulted in a lack of compliance as they were unable to keep up with the class due to learning and social barriers. The teachers often ignored hateful and discriminatory language towards those who are lgbtq+ or not white British. The food was alright most of the time but I often found my food had hair in it or was under/overcooked. The cleaning is terrible, I once found am orange that was going mouldy from too high of a place for me to get in the cafeteria and when I told somebody, nothing was done about it. That stayed there for weeks until the next inspection came along.

Not brilliant

The school has good facilities for most of its lessons, even though this is the case, in general the school is poorly run, discipline is often unfair and all in all it's an unwelcoming environment.

Sixth form :/

As a sixth form student, I feel completely cut off and isolated from the whole institution. It sees to be that all my teachers refused to accept me from the beginning and despite feeling some sort of acceptance now, there are few that really know how to make me feel like I don’t belong. Although they paint an exceptional image of themselves, it really is just a painting. A snapshot of what they can use to advertise. There’s a range of favouritism within what’s meant to be a mature environment and yet mr who works dedicatedly in all of my lessons, study periods and even on my breaks, I get no recognition… and why? Because I haven’t been a ‘member’ since year 7. I wish I left here the day I started, as it was in my gut that the toxicity wasn’t right for me to experience.

bad school

horrible place and needs a bigger senco department which was decent just not enough people to deal with a massive academy, I started there in september 2018 but left in the start of 2019 due to their poor handling of bullying and honestly just horrible hygiene in the school most of the teachers were absolute garbage too

I hate it

I hate this place so much. The only reason I’ve given it two stars is because there are actually some decent teachers. I literally dread getting up because I have to go there. So many students are openly homophobic and all the other -phobics and -isms and NOTHING is done about it, no matter how much complain it. Wouldn’t recommend, wouldn’t recommend anywhere else either, at this point, just homeschool.

Don’t even bother.

In my opinion, oba is actually terrible in terms of handling bullying, as from experience, the teachers here don’t even try to protect their students from any sort of bullying.

The food here is also given to students with hair in it or sometimes things will be undercooked or even out of date!

Lastly, I think the worst thing about this school is the equality. You’re transgender? You will be misgendered. Totally. And the students around you will also misgender you and say unkind things. This school is also extremely unkind to those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and students call those who are in it many types of racial slurs.

Although some teachers are extremely thoughtful, wise and even helpful in terms of education, from my experiences, there are extremely creepy teachers who would eye female students who wear skirts and even try to flirt with them!!! It’s disgusting how the principle condones of this behavior from everyone in this school!

Don’t even bother thinking about bringing your kid here, unless if they are mentally strong to endure the experience.

I definitely recommend

I think that bushfield is an amazing school. You can get along with the teachers really well as they're so kind and they will help you with anything you need. They have great facilities and equipment and there are so many different things you can do. I have been here since year 7 and I am now in year 11 and I love this school and I definitely recommend it
