The Halley Academy

They have so many sports and good teachers are strict in science and don't do experiment and you learn many new things

My child went to the school and it is beyond bad. I have seen my fair share of schools but this one was outstandingly awful. It was pretty good until the entirely out of his league Ben Russell took over as Principle and much of the good work done by his predecessor was trashed. They may be able to thrash some good results out of some kids who tbh would probably achieve more somewhere else, but the foul attitude towards children that Russell encouraged in some of his staff has harmed too many kids, longterm. I know a number of parents felt the same as me but were to scared to pursue complaints as it always resulted in increased bullying of their child. From cowardice when faced with protecting kids at risk to relentless bullying of vulnerable kids without a strong voice at home to defend them, this man and his school were atrocious. He has been promoted for his sins but unfortunately leaves behind a reprehensible SLT shaped in his image.

My grandson goes to the school and I can’t wait for him to leave, when Me Dixon was head of the school I thought it was a good school . The new head is awful some of the staff are rude to the children .not all of the staff but a lot education is poor . Do not send your child to this school look around and see other schools honestly this is not a good school.

This school is terrible as a pupil that used to go there because the staff treats the children as garbage and dont respect their value the staff are extremely rude to me and other parents so don't send ur child there if u dont want to torture them

This is one of the worse schools I have ever come across. The staff are constantly changing and it seems even admin staff can dish out loss of personal time to pupils. If you have a complaint you are not listened to and the school will have already made their decision before you even attend a meeting. Some kids seem to get away with murder whilst other kids they come down on like a ton of bricks. The staff seem to be extremely young and don’t seem to have a great deal of experience. I would not touch this school with a barge pole.
