    Avoid this academy by ALL means.

    Truly an awful academy, I was stuck in set 4 for an entire year because my teacher couldn't speak English and talking about it to the head of maths didn't help either. I had so many issues in year 10 with my English lesson but the teacher didn't do anything, PLEASE for the sake of your little one avoid this academic institution.

    Don’t come here if ur integrity is worth more

    Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone. The safety here is awful there have been incidents where students got physically hurt, and the school either ignored it or handled it so poorly that nothing changed. It’s honestly shocking how little they seem to care. The head of year definitely has favourites, and it’s so obvious. If your child is getting bullied, don’t expect much support because, for some reason, they always seem to blame the victim instead of actually sorting out the pr...

    OFA review-Student

    The teachers can be quite strict but overall, its quite good!I am a student at OFA and the only reason I am rating it "poor" is because a lot of pupils get bullied there and a lot of pupils litter so it can be quite messy.Secondly,the toilets.Half of the toilets don't work and then the toilets that does work are blocked or have rubbish down them.However,most of the teachers are friendly and teach well.

    School fails to protect children from bullies

    If I could leave a minus 1 review or less then I would. My child has been a victim of bullying and physical violence at this school and the manner in which not only the principle but also the other members of staff have acted has been totally disgusting. They have failed in their duty of care on several levels and are more concerned about keeping things under wraps in order to retain their ofsted report and fictitious image. Until I saw this I thought the school was a good school but all of their false claims of student support hold no weight when compared to the truth that shines through on pages like this. The school throw glitter on problems so they don’t show through but they literally have shown that until some child suffers enough that they pay the highest price then they will not act on their reputation of a school of bullies and people who condone it or simply cannot control it. Do not send your child here ever if you care about them.

    Absolutely disgusting school

    Absolutely everything about this school stinks they cover up bullying so it doesn't reflect on the ofsted report the teachers themselves are bullies totally sick of reporting bullying issues when Absolutely nothing is done it's about time the parents got together and report them to ofsted. It doesn't deserve the 1 star I have given it they deserve nothing.

    Hateful

    I hate it there. There's too much work and I'm expected too much. Bullies aren't dealt with and there's fights daily

    Dont really care for students

    School isnt as good as they say they are. My mate had her things ruined by a boy who brought a dangerouse wepon in and they told him off, moved his classes and left him. Some girl was given 2 weeks isolatuon for being mates with a boy who was bullied even tho the girl did nothing.??? The food is bad, half the time its uncooked and smells. Bathrooms in the eating room is very unhygenic too

    Mediocre school

    Most teachers are good at what they teach and try to push you to do better, however many teachers are also quite the opposite. A few years ago this used to be a good school but due to a recent implementation of many rules and stupid schemes, it is safe to say the school is going down the drain. Bullying is a big issue and nothing is done to support those who are bullied and the bullies themselves receive nothing and are let to walk free. Students are also not given any space to express themselves in any way; there are some LGBTQ+ friendly teachers however widely nothing is done to support those who suffer homophobic, transphobic etc abuse.

    Shocking

    The teachers are piss takes a teacher mention no names made fun of a person with disabilities. This school the teachers just come here for a laugh. As if you are new you get treated good and all the attention 8s on you, then after a few weeks the honeymoon period is over. The teachers are worster . If you planning to come to this school, think again

    Just terrible

    As the title say, just terrible. No support in learning. Bullying is a huge issue here, teachers don’t seem to care about the welfare of students
