    Bullying at Streetly Academy

    As a parent who has lived through this firsthand, I can say the bullying and cyber-bullying at Streetly are not being taken seriously at all. My child was assaulted, filmed and humiliated online, and despite the seriousness of the incident, the school has shown no urgency, no real action, and not even a basic wellbeing check. The impact on my child’s mental health has been enormous. Their anxiety has spiralled, and they’ve missed a significant amount of school because they no longer feel safe....

    From a former student

    During my time at streetly, the minimal has been done to support those who have come forward about bullying or harassment within the school, if they have felt comfortable enough to say anything, plus depending on the set, in higher sets, there are better teachers who do teach, but in lower sets, the teachers are more relaxed, and tend not to teach the class. Multipul times i have had teachers who have spoken to their favourite students for the majority of the class period, instead of teaching, which has caused content to be missed or barely focused on due to a lack of time until exams. There have been instances in which pupils with physical disabilities have not been able access parts of the school, such as upstairs A block (which is the majority of maths classrooms), and also upstairs E block, which is the entirety of geography, which could put pupils in the younger years at a disadvantage, because geography from years 7 to 9 is a requirement.

    Former student giving a honest idea of the school

    I was a student there last year and i have adhd and other issues, and streetly didn't support me during my time there. They took my extra time and other requirements off of me, stating i didnt need them because there was no evidence of them being used. This has happened yet again with my younger, autistic brother, as hes about to do his gcse's. If you have children with extra requirements, or disabilities, it is not a school i'd recomment as the senco support is lacking heavily, and is inadequat...

    Disappointing

    Too many NQTs who are instructed by over confident leaders or poorly trained mid leaders. Geography and history departments good, most others bad. Science being particularly awful. Behaviour isn't managed, teachers chew gum and go on snap chat in lessons. Food used to be good, but now is slush and minimal portions. (If your lucky to get any without being screamed at) Covid precisions are poor at best, more of an anti mask movement than safety. If you are in top set your fine because you have the 1 good teacher in the department, other than that it's pretty dismal. Seems like they have 10 senior leaders? Not sure why? Money could be better spent. Too many children need tutors to do well in their GCSES, and university applications arnt optimistic considering the catchment area. Chrome books are okay but IT support isn't funded enough to support the constant damages so the poorest students are left out. Similarly high achievers arnt pushed and many fail to meet there potential. Bit too much confidence amongst many staff and parents due to being on one side of the wealth gap and hence the top end of the sets. Overall disappointing and too mixed to be good.

    Disappointing

    Too many NQTs who are instructed by teachers who aren't up to scratch due to 'over confident in there ability' leaders. A few good departments like Geography and History, however too many bad departments. For example science is particularly awful. Behaviour getting worse, teachers chewing gum in lessons, very little COVID safety measurements, more of an anti mask movement. Wouldn't recommend, avoid if possible, otherwise the only chance of surviving is being in top set where you might not get an NQT. Food used to be really good, now it's just slush with minimal portions. Just like the OFSTED report said 'too mixed to be good'. Has a nasty habit of punishing the group rather than the individual. Disappointing really due to the catchment area.
