The Portsmouth Academy

Don't send your kids here unless you want your child to cut them selves everyday and become suicidal ?

Gave one star but in reality wouldn't give any This school is a absolute disgrace and in my honest opinion unsafe and unfit f9r purpose. Bullying is a massive problem and the staff turn a blind eye if the abuser is a favoured pupil. Teachers higher up cover up and lie about events and even delete evidence. Something seriously needs to be done before a fatality happens. Send pupils are treated as second class. I have never seen such a failure of a school as this one, which is sad as it used to be so much better. Now it is without a doubt one of the worst in Portsmouth

The staff say their dealing with this but they just pay lip service and nothing actually happens. I was told the bullies would get suspension twice and then expelled, this didnt happen, the bullies were rewarded and the victim excluded.

this school is so bad i hate it so much the teachers are so so rude and the teachers will pick on you no matter what and you will get suspended for the most silly reasons you get put in isolation for not tucking ur shirt in. DONT EVER COME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

They care more about whether or not you have a tie on than if you're being bullied. They obviously have their priorities, just stupid ones. They can send over the police if you're home for a week but then if someone punches you in the face they just tell you to "resolve the conflict peacefully". Don't even get me started on the amount of illegal stuff on the premises such as vapes and cigarettes.

I'll make it quick, the school is racist, sexist, bias and you also get in trouble for the most stupid things on earth.

In my time at the Portsmouth academy I didn’t feel safe at all and I struggled so bad but I had support from some of the teachers and the teaching assistants really helped me without them I would have left ok day one I’m so happy that I’m out now and in college with the right support for me and people with special and educational needs

has good teachers but if you go to this school you will get bullied bad by the base kids. arrive in 5 is not good, you get detention for ANYTHING now, struggle with homework? detention. don’t pick up food? detention. can’t go through reception if you’re late anymore, there’s a new “late gate” system and you have to wait for 30 minutes in the freezing cold. if you have a TA at the school you will be blackmailed with negitives for everything, that’s happened to me on multiple occasions over recent months.

Honestly, this school is something that you will regret coming to, This school has tried so many ways to fix things but ends up getting worse and worse by the year. First Reason: On Way System One way systems are terrible, they made up this rule recently, and it's becoming annoying, when it hadn't existed it was normal, but now it's becoming worse, people pushing in the corridor and screaming to move like what? Second Reason: Mobile Phones Mobile phones aren't a big deal in school, honestly it's not like it's going to kill you or something, they let us use to have it in Break and Lunch, reasonable, but now it's when you leave the school premises. Which makes it worse. Honestly no-wonder people are leaving this school often Also, doesn't care about things that are going on around like Mental Disorder or Racism or bullying, super bad

This school don’t give a fu£&@ about kids with learning disability like ADHD so many times ask for they help my kid or to refer to a Gp but they just said goin to send a email . Now my kid is last year really bad concern all teachers just complain about no get focus . They not trained to recognise one disability like ADHD. Much kids fighting, much disrespect. More bad than military school they don’t give a fu£&@ if ur kid is learning or not . Bullying is very common there they not prepared for any kid of disabilities kids.

It's shouldn't even be aloud to operate its not fit the head staff are vile no respect for parents or students if you have a child woth send don't even bother it completely breaks them my son had learning disabilities and sensory when he started a Yr ago he's now got a long list of mental health issues to add all that's to this schools neglect education what education he's sat in a room.for 6hrs doing nothing the staff can not protect students they also goad certain students to fight others alot of us parents with children at the school can't understand how they keep getting away with everything I do have to add a select few members of staff are amazing

This school is racist and full of bullies. I recently saw a video of a black boy being assaulted badly by his classmates. How bad can things be.

we made a student cry in the bathroom? bring yiur child here NOW

The worst school I am constantly bullied I was locked in a classroom with a teacher for standing up for myself with bullies they care more about a tie then mental health

Coming from a student this school is full of neeks and racists, and the teachers are something else. They’re actually so racist and the school just wouldn’t believe you if you reported it, fyi they did nothing about a teacher who called black students monkeys and didn’t do something about a teacher saying the n word. The schools hygiene is horrendous all the corridors smell like poo and straight up beo and the cleaners wouldn’t even clean someone’s literal throw up. The education is actual rubbish you just have to hope that you get a teacher that can actually teach because most teachers there don’t even know what they’re doing all they do is just shout and moan at everyone. Also if you’re a black student I wish you good luck because most likely a teacher will never side with you when you get in a fight or get in trouble in class.

I got bullied almost every day, no suppot.

This school is terrible , I am currently in year 9 and it is the worst today lots of the teachers are terrible eg: mr godbold abused a female paramedic and miss fairly locks people in her class

There are multiple issues with this school as a whole at Portsmouth Academy. They care so much on what the school looks like, with school uniform, mobile phones and arriving on time, rather than how the children respect one another and behave. Have no respect for staff or one another. They sink it into the children every day about uniform. This is teaching the children to care more about how they look rather than how they behave. I saw a child being sent home for wearing the wrong trainers. What about being sent home for bullying or beating someone up? There are multiple fights that happen at Portsmouth Academy daily during break time and lunch breaks. A child who has Autism gets beaten up daily because he is different. When the school was told, they done nothing. Older children shove passed the younger students in corridors and will belittle them. Teachers witness it and say nothing. Like they are scared of the students. Children vape in the toilets and when they come out of school gates. The victims of bullying get punished and told they can leave lessons 5 minutes early to avoid the bullies and go into a separate room during breaks.

Been going here since year 7 and I have to say this school is amazing, it completely changed in the past years. The staff are more friendly and helpful and the school got even renovated so it looks so good now and everybody's so nice now. The education is also good. If you're looking for a school to join I recommend this one!!!
