    POOR SAFEGUARDING AND DID NOT EXERCISE BULLYING MEASURES

    My son attended Pimlico Academy after moving from a previous school where he had experienced severe bullying. When he first joined Pimlico, I genuinely felt relieved because he finally seemed to have some peace of mind, and there were members of staff who supported him during his time there. Unfortunately, my overall experience as a parent has left me deeply disappointed, particularly in relation to safeguarding and the handling of serious incidents. During my son’s time at Pimlico, there were...

    Avoid this school if you want a kind compassionate environment

    Appalling care of pupils with Medical Needs Ignores care plans frequently places sick /neurodiverse students in the isolation /behaviour room for being unwell. Ignores students when they say the are unwell uses the SLANT method which is inappropriate for neurodiverse pupils and creates a robot like environment high control military style atmosphere is demeaning no real learning only forced pretending to understand threw fear. Harsh horrible place i suspect HMP Brixton is better.

    Pimlico: a detailed review

    Pimlico has been a formative experience to say the least. It is a rollercoaster of emotions, with some good, some bad, but mostly normal/average teachers who are just trying to make a living. That being said, I think the school has a lot to work on, especially after the complete removal of the DT department to make way for some random corporate offices held under lock and key and wildly strict surveillance around their entrances and exits. Pimlico has excellent food and teaching, the curriculum is highly advanced, even when I was in Set 3. I like some of the SLT, but I think a lot of them are on a power trip, and the new headteacher is slightly on the stricter end, with policies like Yondr pouches and a 97% attendance "requirement" now and longer and longer detentions (4 hours? Seriously? I'm in Year 10 going into year 11 so we where the youngest year to see the protests

    Avoid for SEND

    Stay clear if your child is SEND or has EHCP or any learning difficulties. SENCOS are revolving doors no one stays as school is ridiculously draconian and rigid. Only send if your child has high achieving as then they’ll be left alone. They purposely target send kids with detention after detention for things that are part of their disability no exceptions made and only one or two teachers actually understand SEND. Regret sending my SEND child here with a passion school Is depressing

    Murphy.

    Do not accept especially special needs children or support special needs children with education needs. Unacceptable. I wouldn't recommend that school to anyone with our with special needs children.

    Pimlico: a living hell

    I must say most of the teachers are pretty good and I am learning moderately well but I do not feel safe at this school. The senco has no empathy and is not suitable for said role and the school tolerates bullying far more than expected. Pimlico, do better and parents, I recommend you don't send your child here.

    My overall honesty

    I’ll be honest right, my secondary school did help me get good results and I did make very good memories from the teachers. The staff team was really helpful to me. despite this, The senior leadership team was very corrupt in their ideas and they were very strict and i just didn’t like it. Also, they tried and make me delete several videos on my TikTok page which I found to be very rude as it goes against the free speech human right (UN).

    Pimlico and it’s many issues

    I left the school in 2022 after finishing my GCSEs, I ended up with fairly good results as a result of the good staff team. The only reason I gave this school 4 starts was due to the way the SLT and the year leaders treated us during exams such as giving phones back after the booster sessions instead of after the exam which we was originally promised. This caused a lot of anger and it led to a lot of people not going interventions as a result. There is also this issue with the mass departure o...
