Ormiston Chadwick Academy

absolutely shocking school never seen anything worse teachers are shit at there job i went to that school and had to suffer in silence because everytime i would speak to someone about it i got told to “ignore it” i selfharmed for ages and nobody knew they let me suffer cos they didnt care they only cared about the kids who misbehaved they got rewarded 24/7 would never ever send my kids there

I wish I could give this school a minus 10. But unfortunately I can't. I just hope and pray that some poor parents sendng their children here read this and send them anywhere else. Where do I start.. if your child has any issues I.e mental health/adhd/bullying they just turn a blind eye and brush it under the carpet or basically ignore you. Teachers being attacked. Students being attacked and a permanent ambulance or police cars parked outside due to violence. Violence that goes unreported as they don't want ofsted to know 🤫 The amount of children that have experienced violence in this school is unbelievable. The queue of parents waiting to speak to the head teacher is out the door at the end of the day. To be told you need to make an appointment and they will ring you back. Amazingly. They never do. One example. My child was being attacked by 8 different children and had to be locked in a room for their safety. The teacher was attacked in this process. All the head of year cared about was my child having her phone on to me because they were scared. Perpetrators got a day in isolation 😳😳Believe me. You would be better off sending your child to a school in Syria.

I was previously a student at “ oca” and had to leave in my last year due to crippling bullying that caused me to suffer ptsd, depression and anxiety that caused me to experience hallucinations (auditory and visual ) the teachers dispite telling me to go to them shooed me away in a very rude way which caused me to have trust issues.The bullying went on from year 7 right through to year 10 when I left, I got attacked multiple times on school premises and the teachers did nothing and I also got jumped by 6 people from the school, I got attacked verbally but parents of the bullies on school grounds and they also targeted my house and family I.e threatening my mum, vandalism of my property and so much more . I’m scared to got out and haven’t been outside without company in 2 years. I’m on the highest dose of antidepressants due to this school so please do not send your kids here if you want the to leave still sane. So much more happend but I can’t remember because of all the things that did happen. I have just completed my GCSEs in the garage academy which has helped me a lot

teachers have fun making a child feel judged while they are in distress, teachers will gossip with the students about drama that's gone too far. teachers worse for gossiping than the students. teachers attitudes are disgusting. made my child feel as they had no one and no help and that they had no hope left. the only positive thing with nothing wrong with it was the school councillor, genuinely helped and felt cared for unlike the rest of the teachers in school.

It’s ok, if you don’t work hard you won’t like it very much though, they expect so much and make us stay behind if we get 2 1/2 out of five on a Spanish test. Also cares about whether your phone is turned off as you’re leaving the school. Even in the car park they tell you to turn your phone off. Also fights aren’t handled in a great way nor bullying. They say “I talked to their mum/dad/carer” and it still continues. They also expect everyone to be friends literally don’t understand how young people work.
