The Basildon Lower Academy

First thing: a lot of students are constantly saying racist, homophobic slurs and swears no matter their gender or race, the bad kids are constantly picking fights and bullying people. The school rewards their ridiculous behavior by giving them school trips, ice cream, certificates exc, for something as small as not swearing for more than 5 minutes. There's constant physical fights at school, every single day, there was 4 fights in 1 day there multiple students and teachers got injured and a kid ended up in a wheelchair, but guess what? The kids fighting still don't get expelled, only suspended for around 3 days. The teachers are horrible, they'll let the bad kids play games on their phones, which is illegal, but then when a good student asks for help from their peer the teacher starts fully shouting at them. PE teachers are even worse, during swimming the teacher started shouting at the girls for not doing swimming.... Because they were on their period, and the teacher knew. The good students with high grades and good attendance are most likely depressed and getting bullied, and the school doesn't care and kicks them out of well-being for not "having an actual disability", and never rewards the good kids. If you have a daughter please don't send her here, most the boys in the school are very predatory and the teachers don't care, they will make inappropriate, sexual comments towards girls bodies and maybe even actually touch. A year 9 boy grabbed a little year 7 girls bum and when he got reported the school didn't give him a single punishment. It is a terrible place and I would genuinely rather sit in a white room by myself than stay here another day.

Parents don't take your children to this school. The school does nothing when your child is been attacked by another child. Not to forget your child's mental health is triggered. Worse school. Bullying is the everyday thing and nothing is done about it. Think first before you take your child there.

Was in this school for TWO MONTHS, and the ride i had i luckily will not remember after i write this. BLA was my first choice school after i left primary. taster days were amazing. I started in september of 2017, and thats when it began to go downhill. On my second day, a group of year 8-9's began picking on me, i retaliated and yelled at them, the main person of the group lied to the school saying i said something about her mum, whom i dont even know. From that day forward, this group slowly began to bully me, following me into changing rooms and throwing my clothes, trying to fight me, beat me up. After this, girls in MY year group began to join in, my best friend turned on me because one person was her cousin. It slowly shifted from verbal bullying, to physical and cyber bullying, this included but not limited to: Posting my face and doxxing me online, shoving me to the ground and stamping on my head until i blacked out, breaking my glasses multiple times, turning teachers against me, coming to my house to try end my life, attempted ending my life, followed me home, threatened to harm my family, permanently scarred my face, cut my hair during class, beat me up IN isolation, publically humiliated me by gathering the WHOLE ENTIRE SCHOOL and doused me in fizzy drinks and juice, proceeding to beat me up RIGHT in the middle of an assembly, pulled my chair back making me fall back and hit my head, i had teachers bully me, i had to change classes, i had been barred FROM classes they couldnt seperate me from. The police had to get involved as it was so godawful there, and to this day im suffering
