Redhill Academy

Redhill academy is an alright school

School is decent , very presentable , respectful students and everyone is treated the same. Best teachers out of my own opinion is - miss Wilkinson, she’s very caring and kind and always is smiling. - miss Allen, she’s very kind and very patient and cares for all her students

Many of the teachers are fun, engaging and are actually good at their job. The small few terrible teachers are rude, lazy, judging and some even say very controversial things. Generally the grades are decent, but they put too much exam stress on students, and many of the rules are quite grankly bizzare. They're support staff for mental health are here and there, some good and some bad, but in general don't respect the mental health of their students.

Worst experience with mental health "support". Patronising mentor who clearly didn't know what he was talking about claimed he had "cured me" of my diagnosed issues. Felt more pressure than support when doing GCSEs. Managed to get good grades, but that was thanks to myself.

I would not say that any secondary school is amazing but redhill is about as good as you're going to get in the area in terms of secondary schools. They do have dedicated staff and decent facilities. Plenty of students are rude and unpleasant (although no more than any other secondary school) but the school is good at dealing with them and have a good system in place. With Covid they may not be as good as they should be but that's not to say they brush it off, they simply struggle to separate students in different bubbles and making sure everybody who needs to isolate, does.

I don't like it, they don't help mental health and my brother is high risk, someone recently tested positive in my year and i'm still being told to come to school despite this.
