The Deanery CE Academy

Ever since the school got a new principal, it's gotten significantly better and student behaviour is also getting better. Pastoral team is absolutely addressing issues like bullying in a better light. As a student in this school i hated it before, but as it's getting better and really quickly i'm happy about it. The new principal is actually really good.

My 2 boys go here. It is by far the worst school in the UK. After already pulling my daughter from this school and placing her elsewhere shes flurished!. The standard of teaching here is inadequate. The carpark is a utter joke. Fundamentally this school needs to all be fired and start again because not a single teacher here is worth the salary paid to them!. I agree with the offstead rating uts a 0 stars from me. Avoid avoid avaoid!

They give little importance to student learning, suspension and detention for trivial reasons have no effect. They commit injustices and do not care about the harm caused to teenagers.

A good school that's on the up, despite what disgruntled parents and miserable ex-employees have been saying about it. Both my children go there and they love it: all the latest learning facilities, tech and sports equipment in this new-build (2019) establishment. Teachers and pastoral staff are very supportive. Every school has its problems although I can honestly say that I believe some of the negative reviews are akin to trolling. Keep going, Deanery!

Unfortunately 1 star is the lowest I could rate! This school is absolutely horrendous, bullying is never sorted to the point children become suicidal then because that child cannot face school and the bullying anymore they threaten social services while offering no help to the child or to resolve it. They have absolutely no help for additional learning needs or nerodivergent children even when they say they will put things in place to help this never comes to light. Both t.a.m.s and c.h.a m.s mental health services have commented on their disgusting on how this school treats pupils and the lack of care and understanding from staff. Unless your child is a perfect a* student and confoms to a sheep mentality do not put them through this school. Headteachers have quit and teachers leaving constantly so you can never even see the same person to try and amend issues. I have yet to meet a parent that has anything good to say. Sending my child here was the worst choice I ever made.

Awful place. Should have gone elsewhere. Constant change of teachers. Bullying. Detentions given for minor reasons. A major let down. Similar issues in Kingfisher c e academy.

It is very amazing Safe for kids

Don't know where to start with complaining about The Deanery school in Swindon, there doesn't seem to be much discipline, and if they have an anti bullying policy it's not working. Broken doors in boys and girls toilets, reports of vaping, Teachers Lacking in skills academaly and morals. My Grandson attends this school so I have some knowledge of these problems , also from other parents. My grandson has been hurt on several occasions , and the schools answer seems to brush it under the carpet, and reward the bully . I am so dissapointed with the way this school is run. Perhaps they need stronger Leadership
