    My mh!

    School ruined my mental health, they told me i had autism and just didnt help me through it. They legit said ‘we’ll do this’ ‘we’ll do that’. Its been 2 fucking years, and nothing. I hate that i see students with scars and nothing is being done about it. I was 40kg and they didnt even notice how ill i was. Thanks winsford!

    Honest review

    Was attacked by a student in the school gym last year, lost my job, my confidence and ended up with PTSD. No support, I was treated like dirt when I had given over a year of my life to this school and treated in such an shocking way.

    Rubbish school

    Hate this school so much, won't cater for disabilities & sen needs just punish a child! Don't respond to emails never answer the telephone. Needs closing down!!! Changing the name makes no difference to this school.

    Please someone sort this school out

    I have no words it needs closing or something new before someone ends up hurt dead. Safeguarding is unbelievable sen children not supported no children in fact. School have fights every day teachers don't seem to care bullying is horrendous. Don't send you child her unless you want mental health problems it makes you feel so low and unsupported. All children are at risks there due to Safeguarding duty of care and no support, I dread the children who are very vulnerable what is happening to them if they have no one. Please someone do something here it shouldn't be happening.

    Horrendous

    My child was being hit and bullied every single day and had to be sent to the nurse almost every day. When she told me, she said she was scared to tell me because they said they would kill her if they did and that they all carry knives, do drugs and vape/smoke. I told the school about it and they said that they couldn't do anything to stop it and you had to expect these things to happen. It's quite frankly horrible and appealing. My child has now been taken out of there and I'm homeschooling her. She's far better off and I'd convince you to move your child school from here.

    Shockin school

    Teachers are shocking dont deal with bullys but then soon as ur child defends there self they get kicked out of school 4 a few days they never ring you back when you ring up and they always ignore most emails .. my son was ragged about by a teacher n they said it was the correct action to take at the time As my child was in a fight with bully ! I have the video but yet they say the cctv (yet again) doesn't show the teacher touching my child !! School is absolutely horrible and how off stead keep that school open is beyond me i feel for all the children in that school who have to deal with bullys for teachers who think there better than every1 !!!! WINSFORD ACADEMY SHOW THE KIDS RESPECT AND YOU WILL GAIN THERE RESPECT!!!

    Horrible school with horrible teachers

    The school itself is nothing short from disgraceful! The teachers talk to children as they were something off the bottom of their shoe. They tease and follow students around the school. And sometimes even swear at them and call them nasty names! I got permanently excluded from the school because apparently I was an ‘animal’ they made fun of my height and don’t do anything about bullying. They don’t care about the students and don’t care if somebody is being bullied. I repeatedly got excluded for...

    Not to good of a school

    The Winsford Academy hardly had any classes where the students felt happy to go to because they had really bad anxiety going to them or something had happened between them and someone else in the same class. Another thing is the attendance office if you were ill you would go down to the attendance office and all they would do is give you a paracetamol and tell you to go back to class even if you were physically sick in front of them or had been off for a couple of days prior to that you would still be given a paracetamol and told to go back to lesson. The only decent thing about that school is SOME of the teachers not even all of them because some of them were not very nice to their students.

    The Winsford Academy review.

    The communication from the people who support those who need extra help was poor. There was a very small amount of classes that people actually learnt alot from resulting in very unbalanced GCSE grades. Alot of students were capable of so much more but we pretty much had to go home and re-teach ourselves everything before even considering revision. The way that everyone finds that they're no longer struggling mentally once they leave high school says alot about how the curriculum needs to change. This school is most definitely one of them.
