SWA is a great school
Great school, majority of students are pleasant and hard working. Staff constantly shows dedication to provide high quality education to a deprived area with little chances.

The truth about smithswood
The school is very woke and left wing. The staff are frightened and they live in fear of SLT. The school is dominated by women, who hate male members of staff. As a former member of SLT, I lived in fear of this men hating environment. The head teachers ignores the problem.

A school to avoid.
Absolutely terrible, the staff allow bullying and do not act. The new principle should not be teaching after his last school, looking at children's social media, all wrong on so many levels. Other schools vets teachers and stamp out bullying, this school is different!

Shit school
The School has changed in recent years it used to be a good place to send children to learn but ever since it became apart of fair fax multi academy trust it went down hill. Teachers started quilting and going to other schools, students would be given detentions for no reason and students who started fights got a lesser punishment than students who where just defending themselves.

smiths wood is a no go
Budget got cut so they removed good gcse lessons, some people got forced to chose a gcse subject they didn't want to. Absolutely no freedom. Teacher's always leave because of low pay, so your lessons always change
