Q3 Academy Tipton

i’m freya hubball, i believe overall the school is good and is underrated i believe that the school isn’t as bad as people say it is and overall its a nice environment to be in

I personally haven't experienced racism and reading these reviews I can agree with what they say as I see so many students or substitutes get criticised about how they act, look or sound like which is a main problem and negative at this high school. When you tell a trusted adult or a higher up for example Ethos, they do not do anything to help. Many teachers do not listen to students when they say they need help in lesson, in fact personally they blame you for not understanding anything, so when you don't do any of the work they put negatives on or start to shout at you in the middle of the lesson wasting time. I have been personally told off for my uniform especially for my skirt, their rule is “Only approved ‘Banner’ navy blue skirts are permitted. Black, stretchy, ‘tube’ skirts are not permitted. Skirts must be knee length, skirts that are too short or rolled up are not permitted.” which I did wear a navy blue skirt and the brand was Banner however they believed it was too tight, short and not a ‘school’ skirt when I obviously listened to the rules they provided. Im not afraid to tell you who I am, - Rosalie ,year 10.

Michael chapman is the worst teacher at the school and verbally abuses everyone he sees

They are changing the uniform which will make everyone look like boys and I have only just brought a new PE kit and they are changing it again????!!!! I’m not a bank and I think the children and students of this school cant express them selves with such a boyish school uniform and please tell me why they can’t wear shorts for PE like what if they get hot or we have a heat wave do they want the students to become ill or over whelmed?!

Terible school absolutely disgusting everyday my son would come home crying saying that there were kids bullying him he sead he tried telling the teachers but they didnt care. IF UR CONSIDERING SEND U KID HERE PLZ DONT !!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND

Im a current student at this school, i am only in hear 8 but i have been attending here long enough to understand how bad it is to be here. Many teachers are very rude and do not have any manners, (in my experience i have been told that the reason i couldnt breathe in pe was because i was overweight and fat when they had actually pushed us too far and none of us could breathe no matter the size of us) i should also mention the fact that every teacher in the maths department does not have a clue what they are doing and there is a massive shortage, many classes have been left without a teacher for atleast 1 whole academic year. this needs to be sorted, sometimes they pick up bullying and try to fix it but you have to pester for that to happen.

This school is absoloutely flabbergasting!!! My year 7 daughter got her phone confiscated while texting me about a very important topic, is this real or a jail? Also the food is shocking, how can they mess up a chicken tikka masala that bad is it that hard to follow google recipes? Another thing is the negatives, my child accumulates about 15 negatives a week for no reason except talking in lesson and chewing. We have been speaking since we learned how to so should we all just stop because a teacher wants silence, chewing doesnt affect anything to be honest it helps kids focus more as they can stop moving around and finally sit still. Anyways dont go here.

No action taken to bullying, constant supply leading to wasted potential of good academic attainment, bad management, overcrowding

This is a bad school to go to in my opinion. For example, they do not care if a child got into a fight and are hurt but when it comes to a member of staff and then getting punched then they have to a whole assembly about it. They have a decent education but teachers sometimes are more concerned about the behaviour of the children than the actual learn, leaving several things out for just so they can put negatives for them and they way they talk to us student is bad (not all the teachers are bad). I think only thing that’s good about this school is food, and at least the dinner ladies have more respect to us than the actual teachers themselves. In conclusion, I highly recommend not going to Q3 Tipton if you don’t end like me, a depressed and annoyed student.

lf i could rate everything here a 0 i truly would. if i knew this school was this horrendous i would never send any child here i feel bad for the parents and the students that attend this school. every since there was a new head teacher this school has gone mad! they don’t do anything about students feeling they don’t care if there’s anything wrong with them all they care about is there uniform my child has self harmed due to this school being u fair, not to mention i’ve got many comments on how students and staff have been racist and they allow it. they don’t let student have a voice. i seriously hate all these staff members including the new head teacher with a fake perm? ridiculous! GET THE STUDENTS HELP!

I NEED YOUR HELP I'm an exchange student who'll study at Q3 Tipton academy and reading all these reviews is really scaring me. Since I'll basically be an immigrant all these comments about racism are pretty concerning and even the ones about teachers not giving a f*ck about anyone stress me out cause I'll need a huge amount of documents from the school to come back in my country and I can't just be ghosted. I'm please begging if one of the local students could tell me if other exchange students have experienced bullying before? Has the class interacted with them or were they just left alone? AND THEN WTF DOES IT MEAN THAT I CAN'T TAKE MY COAT INSIDE? My rating is obvsly random cause I still haven't studied at Q3

An absolute disgrace of a school. I sent my child to Q3 for 3 years (up until year 9) before having to change the school. My child got bullied countless of times and had complained to the teachers many times with them doing nothing at all. My daughter used to tell me about the cases of S*xual assault that has happened within the school and about the teachers swearing at students and causing them to have problems with their mental health. I had a meeting with one of the teachers, about the bullying and they did absolutely nothing. There is always police outside the school and fights nearly everyday. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. EVEN YOUR LOCAL DUMPING GROUND WILL GIVE UR CHILD A BETTER EXPERIENCE⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

This school is genuinely the worst Toilet situations: they have locked every single toilet and the entire school has to share 3 cubicles for the girls and 3 cubicles for the boys, and dependent on where you are you have to travel half the school just to go to the toilet This school also says they are super inclusive but when homophobia is presented they do NOTHING about it. No accommodation for mental health problems Canteen food is inedible 99% of the time and tastes like crap

The school is so bad, bullying and fights happen every single day. They do nothing in classes other than give you random punishments every time you cant do something that they want you to do. A art teacher robbed something from me and refused to give it back and when I swore, rang my parents and still isnt giving it back. Please do not send your kids here, its so corrupt and it affects my life in a negative way, look for another school.

I am scared about the safeguarding issue about my child, as one assistant headteacher is a bully. She even favours another assistant headteachers daughter and the daughter’s boyfriend as the two teachers are friends. The teacher’s children getting privileges is morally wrong and unfair. These teachers making the school look like third world country’s school. Just recently one of the assistant headteachers demoralised the students. Please can anybody give me advise on how to take legal action against the school as their complaint protocols are not transparent and the teachers are biased covering each other’s back.

This would have got zero stars but I couldn’t leave a review otherwise Really unethical school from teacher and pupil views When I was in year ten last year there was one student who called another student big black bastard and the girl is always very naughty but she gets away with it because she is white. When the head of year was told about this she said she did not care as it happened off the school grounds but I know if it was a white pupil she would have cared and done something about it. She did absolutely nothing. Sickening Children get crushed in corridors frequently. There is favouritism amongst staff and pupils If your face doesn’t fit don’t expect to be treated fairly there There are much better schools around to send your children to. Avoid like the plague Teachers are abused by not being paid properly even though they work very hard they are denied what is rightfully theirs Teachers are expected to give their unpaid time to help students and are not rewarded for it Head teacher is a bully and shouts at staff and bullies them to tears ? That’s why all good hardworking staff leave and all good hardworking pupils leav or their parents don’t know what is going on so they stay and suffer and underachieve because the teacher that are left can’t teach because behaviour is appalling Loathe some school this is.

I’m a student and when I got home I got told that I was apparently sick at 11:45. My mother rushed over to the school from work. My guardian had to rush in a taxi to the house to so called let me in. The taxi cost him a fiver and with inflation at an high that 5 pounds could have helped and possibly take us far. My mom was near the school and got told it was the wrong student and only got sorry. This is a safeguarding issue. This school is ok but it’s only bads are this litter and horrible teachers and a bit off bullying

Spent my entire school years miserable was dealing with mental health issues that I received no support for. I was bullied all through my time here as did many people I know and it was never dealt with, the teachers were often nicer to these bullies and nasty people within the school and since we are speaking about the teachers the whole maths department has no clue what they are doing. The teaching in general is very poor and its up to you to teach yourself if you don't wanna fail. Students are violent and harras people from outside the school constantly. In general the school is very ableist racist and homophones (I was punished for scribbling out graffiti that depicted hate symbols and words even though I explained)

This school is good with the education however, some of the teachers are rude, they go on about school safety when some teachers are saying if you don't want to be here you can leave which has caused students to run down the corridor also teachers wouldn't let me explain why I couldn't hand in my homework that I missed when I was badly ill. This school is also bad with bullying, my friend got bullied badly and beaten up the teachers were just watching. Some teachers have been badly injured because of other students starting fights outside of school, one of the teachers got hit in the jaw. Also the meals can be cold when you have first lunch, one of my friends asked for a pudding they didn't ask if he wanted custard and they just putted it on he couldn't eat it because he couldn't have dairy.

So the shcool is cool but some teachers are racist or sexist to me and some of them are too rude but the pe teacher drama teachers are calm they tech us real things but the bullieing in this school is massive the teachers are weak they can't even stop a fight like last time 2 year seven gangs were fighting a teacher got punched and they cant stop water fights wich is very disappointing the bad this overall is the racist and sexist teachers and the bullieing u would have give the school a grate but they got to improve and I get bullied a lot
