Do not send your child here
Don't send your child here, seeming as the school has been on the news almost 4 times. How does that ms fearon still work their? Tried sending my child here, and got told a teacher looked under a girls skirt and a teacher called someone a packy? Genuinely why is this school still up. Not to mention that the school has a hygiene rating of 1 and some instances where the chicken was purely pink. Pls shut this school down

Poor treatment to students
My experience when I was a student here was vile. Staff have little to no care for students or actually doing their jobs teaching. Many staff do not care to help students who are being bullied or attacked not to mentioned the complete lack of SEND support. Most neurodivergent students were left to suffer including myself. In addition to that, one of my biggest problems at this secondary was my art teacher, I reported to safeguarding about a serious private matter going on causing me to miss one...

Bullying of pupil
Apparently you bully your pupils if they don't hold the same political views as your left wing teachers. If that is correct then you are indeed bullies . You should be encouraging your students to think independently and protect them from harassment from other pupils . I will be escalating this to the education board and I suggest you apologise to your bullied 13 year old pupil. Do your job and teach him without bias.

Not bad but…
Not a bad school per se, at least back for 2016 leavers. Some of the teachers need to wind their necks in a abit though. I remember a psychology teacher at a level telling one of my sons friends that her dreams wouldn’t amount to anything just because she wasn’t doing well in class

Do not send your child here
My daughter goes to this school. And it's a horrible school teachers and pupils have no respect for each other. If there is a problem you have to email the Head of year to the point all you get its being investigated. You hear nothing back so you email again to find out what has happened and then you get a response. Teachers have no clie with disability children my daughter is Autistic who is suffering with bad anxiety. I have also heard their is a boy who suffers with ticks and the teacher shou...

terrible
horrible school, got sexually assaulted in school by another student and school did nothing about it, teachers dont teach, dirty school, dead rats found on the floor inside the building
- Student1.017 May 2023
bad school
doesn't think about the students by not letting us go toilet in lesson, food is raw, teachers think they rule the world, saw someone's Wiley one time it was small so i don't recommend this school to anyone and i think it should be closed down for good or let children work from home unless they are doing tests/exams.

Do not go
Terrible school would not recommend as a former student, absolutely terrible!

Terrible!
As a student in Quarrydale Academy, I think this school is outrageous...personally from experience. The canteens' food is not enough to feed everyone,the people in it are disgusting, and nothing is done about it. The fact that teachers stand outside toilets as well is invading privacy, and the school is a tip. If you are thinking of coming here,don't recommend it.
- Parent2.018 February 2023
horrible school
This school is very bad for education, the teachers are really nasty they swear at the students the food is disgusting theres hair in the food and it’s uncooked. teachers don’t care about ur education they just care about getting payed. so I advise you not to go to Quarrydale if your thinking of going.

Just terrible
Teachers do not understand the kids they just give up on the ones who need help, so much for a school that said it supports every child's needs

My experience
I no longer attend the school as I got no support for my mental health and bullying. This school is genuinely awful for kids with mental health issues and/or learning difficulties, although there is support in place for kids with these things they’re so hard to get a hold of until your child gets out of control, as someone who struggles heavily with depression and anxiety I only got support when my attendance dropped and school was concerned, not about me but about their reputation. Their approach to bullying is worse, as I went to teachers and told them about this multiple times as well as my mum going into school and asking for support for me, which I never received. Honestly this school as a whole is a mess, not only in the things I’ve talked about but also just little things that build up such as the food, teachers, rules (especially with uniform), the cleanliness and so on. As much as this school claims that it’s a safe and secure environment for their students, I and many other people would 100% disagree. Also I’d like to add on that this isn’t really a safe environment for people of colour and people in the lgbtqia+ community, as I’ve seen racism and homophobia take place multiple times.

please read
I am here to state that this school is very lazy. The reason why people may think this school is lazy is because of the teaching. I move quite a while ago and i think its time for me to use my voice for the students who think the same. This school is reviewed as better than Sutton centre. Quarrydale is nothing but a place where bullies sit and learn. When I left this school and disappeared somewhere else i was clueless and didn't know a thing or two about the things that we are learning due to...

Zero starts
If I could I would give it a zero. There was so many rats and the food was awful. From an experience from an ex quarrydale member I am disgusted to find out it is even worse. There is still rats, people are nearly getting stabbed and most importantly they still did nothing about bullying or any issues. This school is disgusting and whoever thinks this is a good school must be stupid. Also the indoors is absolutely disgusting. The grades are bad and the teachers are awful at teaching. The students grades are horrible.

No assistance with being bullied Disruption in every class School can’t facilitate those who require more assistance to learn

Poor dirty
Not clean. Hair in food. Not bothered about bullying. Most teachers don’t even teach us properly. Tutors don’t even turn up to tutor. Kids are loud and horrible, disrupt lessons.
