Ossett Academy Toilets
Today, I will discussing and sharing my utterly honest conclusion on this school after being there for some time. The particular topic I would like converse about is the repugnant, abhorrent state of the school restrooms. Quite commonly, I will find in those harrowing cubicles that some cretinous, inhumane being has decided it would be funny to urinate on the toilet seat, also, adding to the matter, the bins are filled with half-eaten, apples etc. This is extremely unhygienic in a toilet and and I'm quite sure many other pupils that attend the school will agree with me that it is literally repulsive.
Review
Terrible. Bullying. Super strict. Detentions for no reason. Racist.
Terrible school
My experience is terrible I tried to get off school for 1 week to escape it but it didn't work. In every lesson I'm sat at the back of the class and My eyesight is terrible so I can't see the board. The lunch is OK but everyone is really rude and I'm getting bullied constantly. None of the teachers has done anything about it. 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
Never been so disappointed
I would recommend everyone to stay well clear of this school they take no notice of courts rules and are happy to change names with no revelen paperwork even though the birth certificate clearly states what the child’s name his
awful
absolutely terrible. i get called a he when i use she/they. the teachers in the hub are nasty they try ruin relationships, make people feel isolated, they are toxic and dont care about mental health.
Good but not the best
In school there are some very nice teachers and we learn alot but accasionally there is a fight
Horrible school

BREACH OF RIGHT TO SANITATION
I am a student at ossett academy and sixth form college and this school has took a turn for the worse with today implementation of a toilet policy which requires students to queue and be assigned a cubicle with the locking and restrictions of toilets during lesson times etc using shutters this is completely unacceptable and is causing queues for toilets meaning some students are unable to go all day long like they expect us to wee ourselves this is also bad for students that msg be starting periods which would need to use the nearest toilets etc this will lead to embarrassment for young girls and this is completely unacceptable in a school environment which is meant to assist learning and be a safe place. This clearly breaks the right to proper sanitation under article 11 of the human rights act as it is not necessary and a prescribed law this school clearly cares more about draconian punishment than it’s students education disappointing during covid times.
don’t go to this school
racism, homophobia and transphobia is going on in this school and all they care about is if you’re wearing earrings or if you’re wearing a little foundation to cover up insecurities or whatever or if you’re skirt is rolled, i get discipline when the skirt is short but most of the times it’s about a few inches above the knee. let’s be real no member of the public cares if you’re wearing earrings or you’re not wearing a lanyard. i wore a clear CLEAR earring which is not effecting anyone and got detention. OSSETT ACADEMY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOURE EDUCATION AND ONLY ON HOW U REPRESENT IT and that’s a fact! it’s not sanitary and COVID is another story, ‘one way system’ meaning there’s only one exit meaning year groups mixing and i’m not joking SIDE BY SIDE pushing each other. another thing is year groups share same lunch hall and people are trying to eat whilst the stupid year 8s are literally leaning LEANING over them whilst in the line. it’s disgusting. we are there to learn not to wait half an hour after school cause we forgot to take a earring out. most students mental health has gone down the drain and it’s not discussed enough. teachers say “talk to me whenever you need to” yet they’re the same ones forcing us to read or answer a question when we clearly don’t know it and embarrassing us. i think the only teacher who actually cares is miss carrie. girls have needs to go to the toilet but are we allowed whenever we need to? NO. and make us explain in front of the class why we are desperate, MAINLY MALE. male teachers should not be handing out detentions for skirts it makes students uncomfortable and no one gets that. only a handful of genuine teachers there. i love the dinner ladies
Review
Overall I think that ossett isn’t bad but the same core groups of students are constantly picked on and others are shown significant favouritism. Detentions are handed out for wearing coats in side when the buildings like Russia whilst the teachers walk around in their coats claiming nothing is wrong. I think that the teachers are getting better but their are still some knobs. Their is an exceedingly ridiculous amount of homework handed out and is given ridiculous deadlines.
At lunch times paninis are regularly launched around the lunch hall endangering students and potential causing concussions . The hygiene of the school is a disgrace with marshmallows and other various sweets been launched around classrooms with chewing gum also stuck under the desks.
The sporting facilities are very good and the Pe teachers are generally sound .
The students in the school are cocky and horrible especially the year 9s.
Bullying is constant and the school take very little notice of racial discrimination and bullying with little done and as of every school in the UK mental health needs to be further identified as having 6 and 1/2 hours of lessons a day is very stressful especially when u haven’t got a clue or struggle with work in most lessons ( i struggle quite a lot and I am in high sets)

Ossett Academy review
There is bad bullying due to the lack of any sort of punishment for bullies.
The sheer number of homophobic, transphobic, racist and sexist behaviour is through the roof it's that high.
The only good thing is the safety of the students

Ossett Academy
I've been at the school since September 2018 and the amount of bullying, in general, is through the roof. I've had panic attacks as a result of coming here.
I have seen many counts of bullying be left unpunished. For instance, a student repeatedly bullied me for six months in my first year and he only got warned to avoid me, which they haven't enforced at all.
Many students have to fake illness to avoid the way we get treated and some are found out to be sick whilst out of school.

My personal experience in school have included high amounts of homophobia and racism, but not directly towards anyone. The school have done nothing to help with this which i find quite uncomfortable. I’ve also noticed that the head of years like to impact and help the whole year, but struggle to emphasise and help individual pupils with bullying or academic struggles. I feel very uncomfortable at school and i have been struggling with concentration since primary school, and it seems kind of pointless that they decide to finally do something about it in my final year of high school? Overall, I feel like the school could easily improve and I feel like the barrier of expression pupils face doesn’t help with feeling comfortable at school. For example, I feel it would be better if the makeup, hair colour and nail varnish rules could be relaxed since it is in no way going to impact my, or anyone else’s education and will help add diversity between different community’s in the school and could help pupils have less “offensive” tendencies. At my old school, we did reviews like this and the school reflected on what they could do better, I feel like ossett academy should do the same. Also the graded experiences are what I personally think and I don’t want to reflect on what I think the school does well, or bad as a whole.
