Sharnbrook Academy

I think the school is really good the help people a lot and do nice school meals

I hated Sharnbrook School from the day I started to the day I left. As is mentioned in other reviews, their pastoral care is awful and they are only bothered about the students that fit their ‘ideal’ image which means that those who don’t get ignored and end up feeling completely isolated. If my experience here has taught me one thing, it’s that ofsted reports mean absolutely nothing, but care and compassion shown means everything.

Sharnbrook is an ok school. the teachers (I find) are nice, and most students are good choices for friends too. however, I find some of their systems a little restricting, and bullying and fights aren't dealt with in the best manner, but overall the school is good. the school uniform standards are good all the way up to year 10/11 where students just dress in a way that's not good, but not bad enough to be told off. if you attend this school, and have a good attitude towards learning, and are skilled, chances are you'll find someone naughty who's friends probably vape, that will pick on you. enjoyable 80% of the time p.s the school food is FANTASTIC (except for when they run low on money and have to use low quality cheese)

Very unimpressed when I visited for my year 6 daughter looking at secondary schools, and also on a professional basis for my job. When we visited as prospective parents/pupil, I just found the place numbing and soul less. Pupils there had little to no interest showing us around. Also too many people trying to look - why are these evenings not put on in the summer holidays or over a number of weekends? It definitely rides on it former reputation as I attended 20 years ago, but back then it was a happy atmosphere, everyone followed the rules. I then visited a few weeks after on a professional basis to talk to year 11s about careers. Not one person was interested - I never had a careers event at that age. I couldn't believe how they were presented and dressed - girls wearing gel and acrylic nails, earrings, uniforms that were not part of the rules. I thought their attitudes were absolutely appalling, I will never go again. My daughter is not going there, she is going to a Northamptonshire school instead which has enthusiastic teachers and pupils.

I have worked for this school through a cleaning company and i was here for four years. And no not one person from that school is interested in the cleaning team let me tell you that. These kids reviews are so true, bullying from kids to adults they dont want to know they have lost 7 members of cleaning staff! Over the last month. We have had 9 adults to clean up after 1900 children and 200 staff!. The school is absulotley massive, understaffed never paid properly and also a propesctive parent if this is how you let your team and members of staff be treated. Then im sorry but what chance has 1900 children got if you can not even help 7 cleaners from being worn down, i have never worked in a place where i have felt so bad. And as for my 3 sons they will never attend this school, the deputy bragging about putting ofsted off for now,That is not what you eant to hear as a parent! The way i have been spoken to by some of the teachers, there has been an occasion where one of our cleaners was told to move after the teacher 'realised she wasn't a sixth former' - thats worse. And you know on top of alot of things you see and hear in a school, no respect or compassion for anyone or anything there is a few good people left in this school. Do not be linded by its amazingly old reputation that no longer exists.
