Oxclose Community Academy

Absolutely terrible they aren't letting there kids go to the toilets and taking away the toilet passes for people with medical issues if your bullied they don't care. They say they care about there pupils mental health but if you talk to them you can be suspended for harming yourself as it's dangerous behaviour? I don't think so. The teachers avoid the parents calls and when you leave a message they never get back to you the teachers bully the kids more than other students do threatening them with suspension and exclusion for being a few seconds late to lesson. Being told by PE staff even if you have a note to do PE you must bring your PE kit in to take part in the activities you can do and that's not the parents decision to say otherwise and telling the kids if there parents don't ike the school they can find another as many kids want to attend when 7 pupils in 3 months have left from how bad it is. It's diabolical. There teachers are never in so kids grades are dropping my daughter had 11 substitutes in one week and she has gone from a grade 5 in subjects to a grade 3

My 500 pound son named sage gets bullied everyday for having a lazy eye. MY son LOOKS like gojo and I will NOT have kids telling him otherwise

this school is absolutely horrid. kids are mistreated and staff don’t care about most issues. many teachers are rude,misslesding and ignorant. head of years say they will help you sort any issues but most times kids are scared to tell them issues because of how they react and “resolve” the issue. this needs to get resolved. no help is given for kids who need it

this school definitely needs to improve. im not impressed. staff are horrid and not only do you only 45 minutes for break and lunch (COMBINED) which is not enough time and is illegal. there has been multiple reports of bad teachers and teachers hitting kids. bullying is a common issue in this school and they do little to help resolve it. the school properties are often outdated and damaged, they dont offer much help when it comes to attending school for mental health reasons and instead punish the students. sort it out!!!!!!!!!!!

I ahre it here it is so bad don’t come it’s hell!!

Worst School ever my child was struggling really bad to a point where she was hurting herself and screaming in the morning about not wanting to go absolute joke. No one helped they knew my child needed help and lied to my face saying they were “giving them help” even the teachers will admit this school is horrible if you love you child please don’t send them here unless they are a bully, then they will fit in fine.

Only given 30 minutes of break a day extra blow all there budget on not worth while things once forced a Muslim to eat during Ramadan teachers often speak down to students and are very self centered and selfish in general

this school is just terrible, if you even get bullied no one does anything about it. the school meals are atrocious and the chicken and other meat are pink. usually the victim of bullying faces harsher punishments than the true bully. don't go to this school

Teachers are absolutely awful and the heads of the school are even worse

Where abuse is normalised lol

the teachers in this school are very self centred and only care about getting paid. one teacher laid a hand on a student and would not let go of him causing a scene to only blame the student that had not done anything wrong. the student then had to miss out on 2 weeks on their education because the teachers are unable to keep their hands to themselves. Another thing the teachers do is they treat you like dirt and look down on you as if they are better than you and overall do not care.

Most students find one teacher they bond extremely well with. This creates a lifeline as these teachers will do their best to support you. The mental health support has improved in the past two years, having lost my trust and now regained it since the pandemic. Since COVID-19 everything has drastically changed, year 11 students cannot eat until 1:45 and only have breaks at 11:00-11:15 and 1:45 - 2:15. Some subjects such as creative arts and English have an extraordinary set of staff who go above and beyond, often supporting your mental health. Some teachers could handle social distancing far better than they do as bubbles have been able to mix constantly and teachers not taking great notice to this.

Their motto is value diversity yet you're not allowed diversity, can't dye your hair nor wear it in a unique style, getting bullied? "just ignore them" nothing is done, tell the teachers how people say a trigger word on purpose? They'll go ahead and say it. The only reason I haven't left this school is because of 2 teachers and the fact no school is close enough. GOd I wish I could move.

While being in oxclose academy I have had a great education, until the pandemic hit, social distancing is absolutely not being held and there is barely use of sanitizers and wipes. The yard is smaller which means bubbles are being combined, and option lessons again compromise the bubbles rule.
