the teachers give so much homework and make children do catch up where you just go on a computer and they dont even tel you what you have to catch up on and SO MUCH HOMEWORK AND ITS NOT FAIR BECAUSE IN OTHER SECNDRY SCHOOLS THEY ARE MUCH FAIRER THIS IS INJUSTICE. one day i was at the office at ata ...
So I know I am not finished but so far that I have been in this school (about a year) it hasn't been the best experience, the school is strict and doesn't really have any teachers that know technology but it teachers who know how to use the technology. Homework is long, and missing a single day of s...
This is not a public school! This is a Kingdom where no one cares about STUDENTS and PARENTS. Teachers stuff especially Mr. Matt Gallagher, Mis Grand also the receptionists are very rood, disrespectful and arrogant with PARENTS and STUDENTS.
They are proud of their unresonable and stupid strictness...
english homeworks are two hours long and miserable. icas is so stupid. f this school
Do not take your child there if you don't like strict schools. This school has a very rigid behaviour policy. ICAS is indeed internal exclusion like a parent said and all the information is in the behaviour policy, which j is easily accessible at the website. For a child to go to ICAS, they wil...
My reaction time is so bad that mr Phillip's reacts faster than me...
I have called today to school to find some information about admission test. The staff was were rude: no listening and communication skills. Interrupting, raising voice. "Why you call us , all information in front of your eyes on the website !"
and just hang up while I was talking.
I can not imagi...
my son attends ashcroft and i m completely not happy about how this school works . he goes school 8:30 and leaves sometimes 5:30 , and still get a great amount of homework to do , i understand the school is strict , but it should not get to a point where your son is depressed because of the school....
Horrible students they rlly don't know how to behave swearing running around the classroom i had to leave this skl for this
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT READ ALL OF IT - i am a student here and my experience in this school has been the worst.
we are given so much homework wich some people believe to be only 30 min long....WRONG maths and english expect you to do 2 HOURS OF HOMEWORK. Not only that, if your in yr 9 to yr11 ...
If you value your free time do not come to this school. The teachers also like to shout a lot. When I say a lot I mean A LOT.
I am only going to give it a rating of three. I had an ICAS for no reason. Miss Sargeant is always annoying and she is rascist. She picks on me and she is stupid. I like Mr Keith because PE is really good. My form tutor can't physically shout. She, however, is really nice This school is really good,...
Ashcroft technology academy is taking away student's human rights and is a rubbish school. I do not recommend this school to anyone because it doesn't care about it's students. It only cares about the grades and looking good. I had the worst experience here and I don't want that for anyone else. Don...
My son went to the induction day in July 2016 and had a terrible experience from the moment he step foot into the place. The vice principal screaming at him in front of the whole year for being 10mins late even though there were other children who strolled in later than him and were welcomed with ...
Everything I am about to tell you is true. When you choose you GCSE subject, they give you a preference list. My sister put music last on the list since she gets level 3s, she hates it and it is useless for her future. For some reason, those stupid teachers in that horrible school gave her music! Wh...
A boy got put in ICAS because they missed the year 7 line up talking to a teacher about work. He had also been one of the people chosen to meet a poet but because of this Icas he missed it.
The students who all go here are forced to go here because it is known to be a good school however teachers are very unorganised and stricter on people who they personally hate.
This school should be made into a massive ASDA would be more useful.
The food's terrible. (PERFECTLYCOMPLIMENTINGTHEHYGIENE)
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THIS, AS I BELIEVE THERE IS USEFUL INFO. I ve been i this school for 2 years now, and I have to say this is a terrible school. I have written how school is for a student.
[WORK]
The only reason their test grades are so high is because: instead of teaching the student...
i have since left this school but mr gallagher's "OI" will forever haunt me
Great secondary school, great sixth form. Left in 2011 with excellent results. Thanks to Ashcroft I got into a Russell group university and now work as a Microbiologist for Heineken. I am shocked by the comments complaining of it being a strict school. Parents are too soft on their kids and if their...
Teachers are so strict, like too much. All the work they give out is just from textbooks, the teacher put no effort into doing the lesson. Some lessons the teachers just give us the textbook and make us works out of it for the 2 whole periods.
Good maths and english department
Average science, but the ict and computing teachers are worthless
My friend got a detention because she fell down the stairs... Ashcroft is a disgraceful school
Shambolic utterly diabolical I have never had a worse experience in my whole life.
Went here throughout secondary and sixth form. Teaching quality is good and if you need academic support there is a lot of help there. However, I don t believe the mental well-being of students is considered. I would say from first hand experience that some members of staff do abuse their power whic...
they're a decent school, however there is a fundamental flaw the kids start there GCSEs a year early and as a result are swayed by staff to choose options that they may regret in the future, such as ART or Drama. This isnt to say that choosing these subjects are inherently bad but an aspiring softwa...
I wouldn't even give this terrible school 1 star. The deputy head (now headmaster) was known as The Discipline Manager. There is no understanding of children with special needs despite their claim to have a good SEN department. The children look tired and subdued on the way to school and go stir cr...
I do not attend this school,but i went on a open evining in y6,and gosh.I hated this school.I am scared of it infact.Ascroft has a reputation of being a extremily strict school,and this is true,but they are WAY too strict.
the frirst thing i noticed was the atmostphere,it was terrible.Students look...
I would recommend this school but the problem is the food is 3 star and the rules are a bit too strict but education is good and I want my other two sons to come to this school
Most teachers really don't know how to teach without shouting, and shout for the silliest things. But if i'm honest, there are a few very nice teachers that don't get angry easily.
Bad, bad and more bad. The school is horrible. Especially the reception staff. I once asked them to see if I could call my mum but only an hour later they actually called, by then my mum thought I had gone on my own. So I waited another few. Minutes till she could come.
Great school, great education for my children. They become the best state secondary in Wandsworth this year overall! Very strict but if you follow the rules and want to learn you have a place and you will be well supported and appreciated!
This school has to be questioned by education department iam so disappointed they dealt very badly with my son and me the chap mr chada seems to understand but incame to know through various students that teacher shouts at puipls and sont listen to students quiry instead force and implement what the...
As I entered the school I've been offered to join SEN because I like curry, unfortunately in SEN I had very bad time as they forced me to act disabled so the SEN assistants could keep their job.
I drink to forget this school exists.
I have been insulted by teachers in this school.
Also, this school does homework terribly. They set homework on showmyhomework, but only sometimes. I often miss homework because my teachers expect me to log on to SMH and check my homework with no reason.
Mora...
Student currently in Y13, been here since Y7. Without a doubt, one of the best state secondary schools in the area. Excellent friendly teachers and LG who are genially passionate and interested in their subjects and are always there to help and motivate you.
The leadership group and teachers are ...
A Very good school and really cares a lot about you! Definitely recommend to come here. I am a student here and I am getting the best education
Not very good sixth form. Got very high Gcses then grades went down in a levels. Not good at science teaching styles not very good. Just give you worksheets and put videos on. DONT GO TO THIS SIXTH FORM.
this school is supposed to be punishing the people who did wrong. but yet i don't see mr barker being in icas
Pretty decent on the right side but retarted on left side
Terrible school, poor leadership and a proven history of safeguarding concerns at senior leadership level. Best avoided.
School and teachers are generally good, however, as a parent to one former student, I found school Principal Marcus Barker and some of his Deputy Principals were very very rude and sometimes irresponsible and biased attitude against minorities. I have met a lot of other parents of ethnic minorities...
My cucumber fell out my sandwich and I got a dentention
I really do not like this school. As an awareness notice to parents, do not send your kids there, they'll definitely get bullied.
my one year in this schools sixth form was the most depressing time of my life
This school is full of heartless teachers...im deeply upset by how she was treated and I'm an emotional wreck from my encounter with the school..I allowed my daughter to stay off school for couple days because she was unable to...I emailed the school, no one got back to me so I told my daughter to t...
This school is extremely horrid, the teachers, the way the teachers deal with bullies, and worst of all the LG, apparently this school is close-minded to the idea of children being independent and having different ideals to one another.
The children often steal from a co-op nearby. East Putney, t...
I noticed that not once is 'Internal Care and Support' or 'ICAS' mentioned on their website while there is a whole page dedicated to diaries and the uniform shop both of which are pretty self-explanatory. Let me explain, as the school seems to be incapable or unwilling to inform parents and students...
This school tends to go to Morleys a lot so bring a pound for two wings and chips
I ve been a student here from year 7-13, I can say it s a good school and offers good teaching. But expect rude staff, the school cares about reputation over the mental wellbeing of their students. The counsellors are not fully qualified, which I think should be sorted.
Best school ever
Yeah
Very very rude staff specially with their pupils so many detentions for God sake they are only kids Plz think before admiting your child its a tourcher not school
Excellent school seen. Since my school age.
My two kids are in same school and third is going to join in September
I like this school.
Ive been trying to get through to this school for so long .. Via their phone number but i keep getting a computer speaking..talking about when the office is open and closed then the line cuts off.. Is the number they have on the site the correct number? Or is there any other number i can contact the...
Too strict
Inhumane
Better off at somewhere else dont come here
