Thomas Clarkson Academy

I wouldn’t say it’s bad education wise, but system wise, it’s terrible. You express yourself by dying your hair a bright colour? Detention and call home. You have a small septum piercing? Detention and call home. You feel sick in class? They ignore you and student services tells you to go back to lesson. In my own opinion, the whole ‘business attire’ rule about no dyed hair, piercings, shirts tucked in, ties all the way up, is a way of controlling the students and not giving them any freedom. Almost 90% of students won’t end up working in a strict office, even if they do, by the time they are 18+ they will have matured enough to realise; “I can’t wear this outfit in a strictly professional situation, I can’t have colourful hair, and I can’t talk all day.” The school acts as if self expression is so horrible that it needs to be punished. I can understand being punished for talking or distracting other students, but self expression doesn’t distract anyone, and won’t affect our future.

I don’t like that school,the student services dosent give a single shit about how sick you are,they just expect us to survive for the rest of the day,and the teachers annoy me.Like,why am I getting told off?These teachers only care about how mature you look.Expects us all to be wearing blazers,what does that even to do make us mature?They also banned skirts.And that also pisses me off.What are we even supposed to do when it’s hot outside?!Honestly,this is all my opinion,some teachers which I know,I like because they are nice to me,the rest are just annoying and disrespectful.Hope anyone agrees with me.

i got kicked out for a fight for standing uo for myself i lasted 2 and a few monrhs at tca shittest school people get bullied and they dont do shit untik a fight happens then a student gets suspended for stsndin uo for thereself? Wpuld never send my kids there childreb are vile teachrrs will swesr at you people have broken into the school before food is shit mouldy school is always dirty

This school still allows bullying and most of the teachers are discriminating non-British students

Terrible school. The school fails to handle its students in any way, bullying is a fact of life. Assault? Why not give the 17 year old students some days off school. Homophobic behaviour? Tell the victim to be less openly gay. If you love your children, do not send them to this school. Sending them to the coal mines of Victorian England would have the same emotional effect. I had to work much harder to achieve anything of note, as many of the teachers hated their jobs and their students. However, some teachers were truly outstanding (and it’s a shame the rest bring the school down). The building is also amazing, shame that the students don’t care for learning.
