This high school is drowning in faults that only seem to get worse rather than be resolved. The main problem at this high school is the SLT staff who are selfish and inconsiderate. One SLT staff member in particular is a disgrace and needs to be fired immediately. HB is a SLT staff member who is the cause of rapidly declining metal health amongst students and causes a range of students to have negative thoughts as well as putting them down frequently. This school is nothing but a mess
there is a certain member of SLT staff that is very rude, and uses her power against pupils in a very negative way, she makes students mental health extremely bad and dosent give them the right support just sends them back to lesson, a lot of students feel this way and she needs to be sacked many thanks anonymous user PS there initials are HB, and justice for PL xxx
im a 12 year old student in year 8 and i would say its a very very very good school i would love to recomend to send ur kids here the teachers are absolutley perfect here because i have really bad autism and mental helath and the teachers help u so so much.
Amazing school I would say some of the teachers are rude one science teacher call my friends a cow because it looked like she was chewing gum but she wasn’t and my friend cryed and English, maths, science, history feel like they aren’t taught probably as I feel I have not learnt that much

Pupils tend to set the tone, bullying, smoking, foul language, insulting behavior, vandalism, laziness.
When staff do report these issues they are usually ignored and the same pupils will be back the next day with no consequences. Senior staff will discard the reports so that the pupil's files appear positive.
Staff reporting bad behavior are seen as an inconvenience by senior staff and a threat to school's reputation.
Ofsted don't know what is happening as the worst the pupils are given absence during inspections.
Little supervision or guidance given to staff, so lazy staff are not monitored - new staff 'sink or swim'.
Dishonest staff will work on pupil's project work themselves to improve grades.
Lazy staff fail to set homework or monitor homework diaries.
Not so much an 'academy' as a holding centre for disruptive kids from the notorious local estates/area - Gipton, Halton Moor - try googling.......See 'Live leeds' for reviews of the area, Gipton, Halton Moor. Cross Gates, Whitkirk, Colton
Unfortunately this is apparently typical of Leeds schools according to supply teachers who may get to see the whole picture.
Hence the average score.
