The UCL Academy

One of the worst schools I’ve ever seen. Stabbing, substance use, rude people. The school doesn’t know how to control students properly. I beg any parents and carers, do not send your kids to this school.

The school is so bad I'd rather shoot my granddaughter with a ar 15 then come to ucl I swear my name is ms sef and I hate this school it's so shit wallahi

Awful students., very badly behaved. Truanting, challenging behaviour and not ready to learn.

Absolutely horrible, the education is very poor and you learn absolutely nothing. The teachers are very unprofessional when dealing with kids, not only are the children out of hand, the teachers are too, many times my children have complained to me about the teachers bullying them and nothing is being done about it no matter how much I complain or they complain. They will pretty much hire anyone who can shout at kids at this point and not have any real teaching qualities. When it comes to incidents with the kids, they do not punish accordingly, a detention will be set but when it happens again they continue to stay quiet and just set detentions which the students seem to enjoy, the detentions are basically extra time to hang out with your friends after school and not proper punishment and rehabilitation.

This school does not do anything about bullies. Actually they protect bullies. We had to contact Police, social services, because the school could not handle the situation. My daughter had horrible 5years. High stuff turnover, my daughter did not have biology teacher half of the year when she was year 11. After daughter graduated the school, they contacted me why we did not chose UCL 6th form! It so bad, almost laughable. We have been so traumatized by this school.

Ppl say it's bad cus it's so true and it's so so poor

Don’t go here in a kid who goes UCL and I wish I were dead the teachers dont care about you opinions or mental health they just want you to keep working and working they even give kids a hard time when you want to do something as little as get some water I would rather shoot myself with an AK-47 than go here

In a kid who goes to UCL Academy and I have Special Education cause of my emotions I don’t suggest going here I have Been in such a bad mental state since I got here and the teacher try to take advantage of me because I can’t explain myself. Please don’t go here I’d rather shoot my self with an AR-15 than go here

My cousin was beaten and bullied every day at school. His gang of bullies would corner him outside of local shops and harass him, shove him etc. The school did NOTHING at all to stop this and even at times would actively disregard the severity of the situation. My cousing has gone from once happy, healthy boy who played cricket weekly and had a circle of friends into a clinically diagnosed boy with PTSD, anxiety and obesity as a result of him quitting all his sports and staying inside. This school as ruined his life irreparably. Through not only the bullying but the apathy of the school, with the senior leaders sweeping instances of bullying hnder the rug, i have seen my cousin lose passions for everything he once held dear. This school has ruined his life and has forced him to suffer in silence, whe the school turned the other way. If there is any, any concern for your child’s safety, i beg you, just so you dont have to repeat what my family went through- DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL!

My son went here and had a horrible experience.

Terrible school, absolutely awful at managing mental illness/neurodiversity. Students are all unhappy

This school has some pretty good facilities and education, however the level of bullying is astronomical and the culture here is negative. If you are remotely different from anyone else, you are guaranteed to be bullied by the asshole pupils that attend this school. The school is dominated by students with closed minds who disrupt lessons. Fights are common here. Students who are remotely different (especially lgbtq) are bullied disproportionately while the school does virtually nothing about it. Misogynistic comments are common and overlooked. Teacher bias is a big issue. It is very disorganised in terms of admin and on multiple occasions exams, trips and other things have been cancelled due to what seems like pure laziness. This school is absolutely unprogressive despite being related to UCL. Quality of education is greatly hindered by the school atmosphere. It was rated ‘needs improvement’ by ofsted in terms of behaviour. If the behaviour here was better, and students were more respectful, the school would be incredible,
