West Walsall E-ACT Academy

I attended here in 2019 and transferred from a different school in year 9 this school is the worst place on earth it showcase good amenities like a pool and unique after school clubs I can tell you it’s all a facade I was bullied really bad pushed down the stairs the lot I couldn’t take it anymore so I bunked everyday until I was caught I shouted and screamed until I got the day off school eventually my parents withdrew me but I was on a part time schedule and didn’t attend the classes there and did independent studying in a room on my own with a laptop no teacher nothing I eventually was home schooled and only went back in 2021 for my GCSE’s which I was made to to higher papers even though I wasn’t in school for 2 years? Obviously I failed majority of the papers the school offered me a lot of different ways to get me to school like a taxi too and from school they didn’t held up their end of the deal long story short please don’t send your child here from personal experience thank you.

Teachers are so rude to the students,They don't care about them and they shouted at me for getting bullied instead of doing anything about it,they force me to suppress my emotions when I cry and they treat boys better than girls and they are always on the bullies side and they humiliate the students for punishments.

racist pakistani boys there who bully anyone who isn’t one of them. suffering from ptsd from the abuse i recieved at that hellish place.

West Walsall E-ACT Academy has mixed reviews from both parents and students. Academically, the school shows average performance in some areas and strong scores in others. For instance, around 51% of students achieved at least a grade 4 in English and Maths GCSEs, a benchmark that indicates basic proficiency, while 37% achieved a higher grade of 5 or above in these subjects, roughly aligning with national averages. However, the Progress 8 score, which measures academic progress from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4, sits slightly below the national average at -0.06, indicating modest room for improvement​ OFSTED ​ . Regarding student well-being, there are reports of both positive and negative experiences. Some students and parents appreciate the supportive teachers and commend their dedication. For example, one review highlights teachers’ efforts to maintain a supportive learning environment, particularly in STEM subjects. However, other reviews mention concerns about student behavior and bullying, with several former students and parents noting issues with discipline and the handling of harassment cases. Some students have expressed that they do not always feel safe or respected, and concerns about mental health support have also been mentioned​ SCHOOL REVIEWS UK ​ BEST SCHOOL GUIDE .

Racist teacher’s ,bad rough students,I had an incident today with my child where my brown child who was just genuinely being their self, and some girls came to make trouble which were white and teachers were on white girls side, even though my child did nothing

Absolute Shambles of a "school" Do not send your kids here there is a stabbing every week. Teachers do not give a shit.

I like this school because teacher hard work and encouraging student to hard work teachers have very good connection with student.

Worst school in walsall

Teachers don't care about you the good ones are no longer there because they don't like the environment and I personally believe the school needs a full makeover and they should take better care of students. Headteacher abuses her power

The worst 5 years of my life wasted here. I can confirm I am still affected by everything that happened to me here. It was a traumatic experience that I will carry for the rest of my life. Where do I begin? From racism, discrimination, harassment, physical and emotional abuse... list goes on. Left year 11 with disappointing grades - teachers lied about the grading process and were very biased in the way they awarded and marked students. Some teachers are very lovely and honestly I don't blame them. However a few teachers such as males come across as creeps, including some female teachers I knew, looking at my body up and down and gave uncomfortable stares and dirty looks that made me feel like I did not belong. Even treated me differently to others in the class, made me feel embarrassed. Don't get me started on students. Constant drama and fights that happened, bullies seem to be on a pedestal while teachers did nothing but gave them a little rant and warning even when another incident occurred again. This school does not deserve a good rating from ofsted. In simple terms, please do not send your child here, unless you want to worsen their mental health.

Teachers are good at their jobs but the environment is no good for learning the students are violent, homophobic and rude to staff and other students. The break area is always full of people trying to instigate a fight or taunt people. You can barely move without having things thrown at when the teacher is out the room from glue sticks to pens and even dictionaries and this is in a top set year 11 class. The lesson themselves are good and once again the teachers are good they offer interesting options like dance and astronomy for GCSES and the teachers enjoy doing what they do but the overall atmosphere is ruined by the students.
