Utter shite! Tear it down boys!!!
This school was a disaster! Advertisements lied to me ffs. We were oppressed by the teachers for the most minor things (i.e jewellery like mate i bought that you ugly mutt, none tucked shirts like they gave me isolation bc i forgot to tuck it in ONCE) Food was alright though, brownies were nice! and the sausage rolls were very good to be fair. But the chicken burger was utter crap, no joke half of the time it was either uncooked, or rotten, or BOTH, pick your poison. Safety is a bit of a concern...

DESPICABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My experience here was despicable, They could not control the school and they have a major lack of communication, for example, students are not happy due to the fact they are getting detention or isolation for 'skipping classes' when we have a valid reason like they were at thrive. They say 'I'll take it off for you' but they don't. ODA also doesn't listen to its young students. The teaching is poor, they spend more time moaning about students and kicking them out during lessons than they do tea...

School
This school is very challenging, my child has mental health and they have done nothing to help, to the point when my child was struggling to go in, i had meeting with the attendance lady and she was not interested so she finned us, i ask her why was my child was not getting help with her metal health and she said in very sarcastic manner the school counsellor is busy and cant see everyone.

Very poor
I found it very poor, school does not help with students with mental health, or with bullies, and during the covid, the attendance lady refuse’ to send students home more interested in getting attendance figures up

Ormiston denes academy review from a student
Really good school. Teachers are amazing and really supportive. I am year 10 there and have gone through a lot whilst at school but the teachers have helped me get through the last 4 years. Amazing outdoor area (biggest school delis in Suffolk with it being 7 and 1/2 football pitches, an Astro turf 2 tennis courts and a netball court). Definitely is a good school if you like sport. All subjects are amazing maths, pe and English are the once they are really competitive in. ofstead says it a b...

It is okay.
There is a lot of bullying here, and the headteacher changes regularly. The teachers are dedicated to their jobs however, which I appreciate. I would not recommend it however, as there are better schools in the area who will support students a lot better.
