    They don't sort a thing out.

    I have been severely bullied by most people in my year group and almost all of the staff have done nothing except for one. Another staff member kept saying I was faking the pain in my leg to get out of lessons but now I have to got to the doctors since they ignored it and has gotten that painful. This school is an absolute hellhole. Don't send your child here.

    Move your kids

    Awful place. They don't know how to treat people and definitely do not embody their Christian values. Everything good left with McVeigh, who actually cared about the kids.

    Really bad school

    staff are terrible. give out detention like there sweets. they waste money hiring learning managers because they do nothing about bullying. food is good but is overpriced. teachers discriminate against students. never send your kids there. my son comes home upset every day. when my son was put in isolation for nothing, he was given gcse work to do all day. he is in year 7.

    DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!!

    they don’t care about the children all they care about is making sure they look good. they have never had a student get full marks and their attendance is lower than average because no one likes it. the staff are rude and abusive. food is old and past the use by date. their is no nutritional value in their food even though they claim there is. do NOT send your children here they will end up worse than they started.

    School

    The school is ok if you know everything the teachers will throw at you , but if don’t and don’t have the courage to ask for help like some people it’s hard , space is ok , elevator is sometimes broke and hard for people with disabilities but it’s a generally ok school

    Not terrible but not great

    Didn't have a proper biology teacher for 2 years, got moved down in sets for no reason, took them ages to fix, don't handle bullying correctly. Most teachers are nice and teach well, tests are often but plenty of revision time and help is given. PE is good, there are lots of extra caricular activities and gcse/betc options to choose from. Good school overall.

    Bad handling the bullying

    Its alright, i have had some good friends, but this girl literally beated me up last year and they did nothing, not even a detention, a detention wouldn't of have done anything anyway, the school is pretty bad when it comes to bullying.

    Samworth church academy review

    Teachers are great and helpful. They encourage you to do your best. They could do a little more to help those who have been bullied. I had a friend who left because of bullying and because the teachers did nothing about it. But overall this is a good school and they have so much choices for your options.

    Worse school in Mansfield don’t go

    Absolutely terrible. Please don’t send your kids here. I dealt with a lot of bullying issues and the staff just sat in on their arse and did fuck all. The bullying went on for the entire duration of being a student, some incidents longer than others. The students are vile, threatening other students and making their life hell everytime they see them. Samworth deserves to be destroyed it’s the worst school I’ve been to.

    Not very good

    This schools facilities aren’t great but amazing at the same time. Some classes don’t have teachers for a subject for up to a year and students who have completed the work set aren’t challenged enough in some subjects. Sports is quite good at this school but it’s discipline isn’t good enough. Students have bad language all day and fight more than try to work. Students disrespect teachers too. Facilities aren’t good and I wouldn’t recommend attending this school.
