    Don’t send your child here

    The bathrooms are disgusting, there are over 5 available but they only open 1 which only has 2 cubicles that work and then moan when we are late to lesson for using the bathroom. It is like a prison, when we walk in we have to get checked by multiple teachers to make sure our uniforms are ‘spotless’ before even getting to tutor. I’m currently in year 11 and the amount of supply teachers ive had throughout my time in the school is shocking.

    Teacher is a bully

    Teacher accusing pupil of things not apologizing when found that they are wrong not letting pupil explain themselves it is disgusting and should be reported to board of governors.

    I hate school

    You have to put your phone in a box with a little bit of firm at the bottom. And if your phone breaks the teachers say it’s not the schools responsibility and that is the students. And there is a teacher who holds the phone with just one hand in the air and has almost dropped at once. (he still does it.) and the teachers will give you detention for literally anything even being a few seconds late to lesson. And the food is way overpriced for what it is and there is a queue and it is packed with...

    A student

    You put your phone in a box with just a little bit of foam at the bottom and teachers say if the box gets dropped it’s not the schools fault it’s the students responsibility. And if you don’t put it in the box you might get spot checked where you empty your bag and pockets and stuff. And there is a teacher who holds the phone box on there one hand in the air through the crowded corridor and one time almost dropped it. And the teachers well most of them will literally give you a detention for anything once well 17 times to be exact, I was going to lesson and the bell goes I sprint to lesson I’m only like 20 seconds late and I get detention.

    BULLYING

    the way they handle bullying and harassment is disgusting. they have a zero tolerance bullying policy yet let students go with a slap on the wrist , telling the teachers does nothing , the students don’t get any punishments and the school will throw you under the bus to save their own asses and tell you it’s not under their control and that the police have to deal with it . they refuse to show cctv and twist things . the school is a mess , as well as a dump . if you’re a parent thinking about sending your child here , please do not .

    The worst

    Lack of teachers, no one cares about mental well-being, students aren’t treated with respect, teachers can be unprofessional by treating students without equality and picking which students they would rather listen to.

    Do not recommend

    As a student that went to q3, I believe I was like facade. One the outside, it looked like a perfect little school. But on the inside, it was shocking and appalling.

    DONT GO TO Q3 ACADEMY

    Its awful. They care more about the grades than the mental wellbeing of the students. I have never felt so unsupported and under valued in my entire life. They are just the worst school ever.
