    Ofstead Is Lying

    As somebody who went to weavers and experienced misogyny and criminal negligence of illnesses in students aswell as failure to effectively safegaurd, ofstead has failed to give an honest, unbiased report of weavers academy.

    Horrific. Illegal.

    Discrimination (misogyny to be axact) takes place here aswell as criminal negligence. I was sexually assaulted and the safegaurding staff did nothing but give the boy 'reset'. Nothing was reported to police. Aswell as this, boys are sent home for minor colds while girls in immense pain (myself multiple times) are forced to stay in school aswell as refusal to even give students access to voices at home often times. Weavers Academy fails to meet their safegaurding requirements and student voices,...

    seriously absolutely horrible

    Do not go here unless you want to have to sit through victim support for years of your life, and i mean that genuinely. i got assaulted by multiple girls when I went here and have severe PTSD still to this day. Horrible and nasty teachers who care more about being the bullies friends.

    Reasons why it’s not too good but not too bad

    This school is horrible sometimes and sometimes there good it depends what teachers you have but you can’t go to a toilet without a pass there’s no human rights students that are bad get rewarded for attending lessons like it’s that bad to attend them unless you have a disability it should not be a thing (like autism and anything like that ) most parents tell me the same things that children vape they openly carry vapes and that nothing stops it over than a assembly which does nothing and children aren’t even allowed to use there phone for something that ca be urgent to them like calling there mothers or fathers for money or asking them to bring in something they need overall the rest is fine but it’s not all the rest. Some of the good things are if you listen in lessons you may get good education if your teacher “knows how to teach it” my daughter says and some of the teachers get creative in there lessons instead of showing twenty things and make you right then down. But have very good safety once they held them back because there was knife crime and made sure to tell all parents of the matter this Sums up my review of wrenn school .

    don’t go to this school

    teachers are horrible and rude, they don’t let students go toilet when they really need to, if a kid is upset or has some problems teachers just make them go back to class. Miss Goddard likes to suspend student that she doesn’t like even if they haven’t got a reset. Miss Merry she stops you in the corridor asking where you are going even if it is lunch time. Some of the teachers talk bad about the students, and making nasty comments about them. Even if you have a toilet card they don’t let you g...

    Outstandingly poor.

    This School has a poor reputation. School staff consistently neglect their duty of care to students. Staff do not intervene when bullying occurs and is left to escalate into harassment. Staff then condone the harassment by labelling the harassment 'bullying' to which has already had a long standing impact upon students welfare causing the students education and welfare to be compromised.

    My review on weavers academy

    As a student with adhd and autism, I highly do not recommend this school for neurodivergent children. The room where i am supposed to get help is barely sensory, overwhelming, they dont let me in there even if i am non-verbal or extremely overwhelmed and so on. Theyre aware of my diagnoses, but they dont offer any help whatsoever except a counsellor. If youre overwhelmed you cant resort to anything for help since the room im supposed to get regulated in doesnt even help me. The education is poor, the workload is a huge burnout and i could go on.

    Honest review

    Weaver's is a strict school sometimes the rules are unfair and most people get bullied all the time because they don't know how to defend them self's and are scared to even go to school

    don’t go to weavers

    don’t go here unless you want depression? i went here for 3 years i got bullied so badly in year 7 and i got no support i got assulted by 2 different teachers here the first time i reported it and they said that it didn’t happen even tho there is a video, they just put people in isolation if they spoke about it and the second time i got put in a headlock and dragged and i literally had marks on me but i didn’t tell anyone because i knew there was no point. They accused me of so much stuff that wasn’t true and they knew wasn’t true. i had a door slammed in my face on purpose by a teacher because i tried to go toilet whilst i was on my period during lesson i had the teachers permission of the lesson i was in to go toilet so i don’t know why it was a problem i’m not going to lie and say that i was perfectly behaved because i wasn’t and they did put effort into helping my behaviour which is one of the things that is good about the school but the way they did things just didn’t work for me or the majority of the people that go there. i got treated so badly by the staff and the students to the point i would come home crying every single day because i didn’t want to go back. i thought it was all normal and it was just what all schools were like until i moved and i am so much happier. i didn’t realise how bad that school was until i went to a good school. i was there for three years and i knew of 2 teachers that got fired for putting hands on the kids. there’s also fights like every week and teachers take their anger out on the students all the time do not send your child here send them to any other school (not wrenn) i’m begging you

    underrated school

    my experience at the school was very good it is just an underrated school because they don't give a FVCK, which is why they give it a bad rating. English is not my first language.

    don’t go weavers!!

    i used to go to weavers and it’s honestly the worst school in wellingborough. you get 1 warning then reset which is a full day in a boring little room working on computers and u get a detention after aswell. then when ur in reset u get one warning then excluded. they don’t care ab mental health at all and would rather the school look good than actually care ab the students. the head teacher mr hunt literally is just horrible. toilets always locked even if ur on ur period they don’t care.

    Massively underrated school

    Gets a historical bad rap from people who obviously have an axe to grind and don't think about the impact of 'their' behaviour on multiple others. In tha vast majority and kind and caring staff who are really trying to make a difference in the community.

    weavers academy

    my experience at weavers so far has been sh1t, the policys there are too far, they want us to express ourself but dont let us wear nail polish, more than one stud in each ear and no facial piercings, another thing, the attendances.. thats all they care about, they dont care about your mental health, if your attendance is below 95% you wont be allowed to go home if you have threw up or anything, teachers get involved in your personal life outside school and put you in ie for something that is none of the skls business, its all because of mr hunt!!! i have many many other things to say about this school, id advise your kids not to go there unless you want to cause them to have bad mental health xxx

    Discriminate

    Discriminate against mental health, no help, infact my child ain't even allowed to start to the school because he's got mental health. My son was told . No help at all will be giving to him . If he has an anxiety attack he would be kicked out permanently. IV logged a complaint to school governors and Northampton county canceil. Then you made false allegations to make your self's look better . Lucky I have proof . I could go into more that was said but it's so disgusting. If I could give zero stars I would . Please don't send your child here if they need help with mental health as they don't like it . There words .

    “Weaving” a review

    Excellent staff, super kind, gentle and welcoming. I would suggest them to reassess their COVID RA.
