The teachers are supportive and the school has a lovely atmosphere. We've seen our son thrive since starting here last year. *(Oct 2025)* - **1/5** — worse then prison.: awful school, food is shit same price as a wagyu steak believe it or not and the teachers are horrible they seem to fall on the side of liking children. *(Sep 2025)* - **1/5** — really just terrible: terrible school if you are neurodivergent or struggle in any way as there is little help from the "support" areas from the school. teachers don't care and are bullies themselves, bullies are even supported and talk about you behind your back with other teachers. most classes are filled with substitutes and teachers who just read off PowerPoint. behaviour is awful and not controlled at all. they care more about how they are viewed by people who dont even go to the school. *(Sep 2025)* - **1/5** — You should not put ur child in there: the place is poor at hygiene not very good at all,the students so is the teachers are very rude inside or outside the school.The new head teacher of the school is very rude and racist to my child.The teachers didn’t teach my child anything at all that’s why i moved her to another school. *(May 2025)* - **1/5** — bad shool: this school is very bad and they marked my tests wrong for most of my Gcses, i had to pay around £60+ jus to get them all re marked which then came back to me passing. when i go back i am going to *(Feb 2025)* - **1/5** — A disgusting disgrace and joke of a school.: So where do I start, My daughter attended this academy, and from day 1 she experienced nothjing buit a disgusting hell, their Anti bullying policy may as well be used for the toilet paper in their facilities If it wasn't the bullying from year 7 which went unattended for so long that it was laughable, that after the incident with the pandemic the bullying extended to a level so disgusting that she was abandoned due to fake social media accounts making which had her receiving death threats and th… *(Feb 2025)* - **5/5** — Excellent All Rounder: We've been really impressed with the school's approach to education and the way the staff engage with the children. Our daughter is in her second year and has made some wonderful friends, she loves going to school and always comes home with stories about her day. Highly recommended! *(Feb 2025)* - **1/5** — Truly Evil and questionable place: My family and I moved from Germany to the UK when I was 12, and this was the first school I went to. On the very first day, a much older child made a joke to me about my German heritage. This continued with many kids, bullying me very severely over that, making jokes about Hi*ler etc. The bullying got so bad, that I stopped speaking. I developed an eating disorder too. I was not able to make friends, and spent every single breaktime by myself. Furthermore, I distinctly remember regularly doing s… *(Dec 2024)* - **1/5** — My jw review.: They let all the naughty children get away with everything. They like to pick on certain students. Miss Emily White bumlicks the bad children, but when it comes to the good ones she comes for them when they talk once in her classroom. As someone who has seen the sixth form. The head Miss Powell is extremely bossy, and is such a control freak. She also picks and chooses who she wants to complain at. If she gave the same energy, maybe she would be alright, but she needs to tone it down a bit. I us… *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — Filled with horrendous people: Girls look like chavvy whores. Boys are feral. Stanhope and south Ashford nearby and the horrendous denizens of there send their spawn here. *(Apr 2023)* ## Other schools in Ashford - [Towers School and Sixth Form Centre](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashford/towers-school-and-sixth-form-centre-12282) — 1.7/5 (15 reviews) - [The Norton Knatchbull School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashford/the-norton-knatchbull-school-13452) — 4.4/5 (9 reviews) - [Phoenix Community Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashford/phoenix-community-primary-school-11220) — 4.5/5 (5 reviews) - [The North School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashford/the-north-school-22011) — 3.9/5 (5 reviews) - [Beaver Green Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashford/beaver-green-primary-school-16574) — 3.4/5 (5 reviews) - [The Echelford Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashford/the-echelford-primary-school-15060) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
