St. John Fisher Academy Review

stinks like poo all over, it's snowing. So much bullying in re block dont go there, teachers stink. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SCHOOL! SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!

Certainly wouldn't recommend. Bullying is not taken seriously, no help for people with disabilities, learning difficulties. It's just not a pleasant environment to be in.

Awful school. I've learnt more from Wikipedia than I did from certain teachers. They're hacks! Also, if you aren't interested in sports there's no interest in your education here. ALL the funding gets ploughed into the PE department and if you're not on one of the sports teams you might as well not exist.

teachers are really inconsiderate, bullying is not dealt with correctly and teachers are definatley biased on who thy like! if a teacher doesnt like you in yr 7 then they wont like you throughout the whole school!! discustin
sorry about my spelling you can tell i havent learnt anything

Everyone shut up it s a good school all you gotta do is belive

Teachers hardly do anything for bullied students, the environment is extremely toxic and not very favorable for minority groups especially those that arent blacks and muslims.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Bullying is a big issue and isn t dealt with!

Yes I agree with bullying issues going though with it at the minute & it's that bad wants to end their life doesn't eat at school but soon as gets home tucking into their lunch then evening meal & seems to be happy & even ask if can move schools

Bad school bad behaviour from pupils needs shutting down

Teachers only care about getting paid, bullying is through the roof.

Words can not explain how i feel about this school, but numbers can 10/10.

This school is a big piece of poo, no one come it s rubbish

Needs a better behaviour system and control over pupils

No good teachers want to work there anymore because the behaviour is so bad. I wouldn t advise this school to people who don t enjoy RE because the school doesn t give you a choice but to take it as an option. Also the school is horribly designed and you are likely to get hurt going through the crowded extremely narrow corridors.

Absolutely terrible. Where to start really.

Staff are ignorant to basically everything. They won t accept responsibility for a consistently poor quality of teaching provided to students, the constant stream of supply teachers and poor decisions regarding the behavioural / correctional system. If you complain they ll insist you re wrong, possibly tell you off or evade the issue completely. Prior to inspection days we are told to say only good things rather than be honest (by most teachers) because this school is apparently good (Ofsted states otherwise). The censorship is like that of a typical dictatorship.

If you struggle with a subject they ll constantly tell you it ll click .
Students are blamed for not doing well but when a whole class fails teachers are never held responsible.
Way too many supply teachers who aren t qualified for the subject they are teaching or not qualified for higher level. Particularly at higher levels, students cannot and /should/ not be expected to teach themselves a large amount of a course, especially for a facilitating subject.

They couldn t care less about students opinions. The student council, house captains and sixth form committee is more or less an arbitrary role, like a monarch rather than a minister

Mental health services / support is a joke. However, if you d /like/ to develop a mental health problem please go here, you ll find it very effective.

Teachers are literally obsessed with mocks. Mock here, there, everywhere. No wonder people are burnt out by the time they actually see a real paper.

Aiming high doesn t exist here, instead your teachers actually
encourage students to lower their expectations while not helping them constructively while struggling. They don t see a disparity between targets and end grades as a problem but are rather unfazed by it instead.

Finally, when you leave school with your results.

There is so little advice or help or given to you throughout the school year specific to people who don t make the grades or aren t sure what to do, you have to research this yourself. Everyone deserves a second chance to start again and a break if they need it but somehow students are dissuaded from going to start again elsewhere or those who need some time off for their own health and well-being.

Not the best school ever. It is very strict on rules and some teachers are fun but others are strict

My 2 brothers went there and I went today for a little visit clean high expectations

You're more likely to develop serious mental health issues by going to this cesspool than learning anything even remotely useful. What an absolute joke.

They can't cope with behaviour & never try new stuff that get put into place by other professionals & children with with communication & concentration needs statement they think they are naughty & slap a detention the teaching staff are a big joke there the school is not what it's like now since I was there
