Good and bad, but mostly bad.
After 5 years of being a student at Shirebrook Academy, I feel it is time to write a review that truly summarises my experience of being a student at the school. It's difficult to just portray the school in one way, as the quality of education completely varies from one lesson to the next, as well as the treatment of issues by staff and the Leadership Team. No school is perfect, but Shirebrook takes this to a new low. In regards to lessons, as previously mentioned, the quality of the education...

Not the best
Staff support could’ve been a lot better. As an ex-student, the rules have gotten extremely stricter and have gone too far. There was only 2 teachers throughout my whole 5 years at the academy in which supported me. The rest of them knew about my mental health, but could not care less.

The academy
One of the teachers here admitted that of all the schools they'd been to, this was the most bigoted. They're are lots of very cruel people here but some are really nice too. Most of the teachers are really nice and easy to talk to, and the education is ok

Don’t
The teachers put autistic kids in headlocks, shove them into walls and forcefully pin them down by sitting on their chests and forcing them to sit in chairs. This all happened over another student causing a fight and lying about the blame. Just don’t send troubled students here but high achieving students are highly respected and are given a lot of help if they’re smart whereas the quiet ones are not.

An okay school
I'm currently a Year 8 at the school and enjoying my time there, their response to COVID-19 is great and overall the school is really good.
