Do not recommend this school at all please don't come here. *(Apr 2024)* - **1/5** — Horrible school: Very bad school. Teachers cannot even handle a class of children correctly which is embarrassing. Bullying does not get handled well at all leaving the victims feel unsafe and scared. Teachers lack respect of students and don't help if you're struggling. Would not recommend unless you want your child's mental health ruined and their education destroyed. *(Sep 2023)* - **1/5** — My review: I used to go to this school for a year and that year was the worst year of my life, I got bullied a lot and when I told the teachers they tried to fix everything by making us write on a sheet of paper what happened and then told us to not go near them which just made things worse. I will say though 3-4 teachers there are really kind and helpful but this 1 teacher I remember (no name) used to be the most racist teacher ever she would scream at me and my friend for the smallest things and always s… *(Jul 2023)* - **1/5** — Rubbish school: Please do not send your children. For their sake, the teachers do not care about anyone but themselves. I’ve seen a girl start seizuring here and the teacher just looked at the poor lass and left her *(Feb 2023)* - **5/5** — Wonderful Nursery and Friendly Staff: I'm so happy with Our Lady of Mount Carmel's nursery program - the teachers are kind and engaging, and my child loves going to school every day. The nursery has a great outdoor play area, and the children have access to a wide range of toys and activities. I've always found the staff to be helpful and responsive. *(Feb 2023)* - **5/5** — Bad education,Racism: This school is absolutely terrible I recommend no one coming here because it is like a prison and the dinner taste of shit and teachers cant handle bullying and most of them are racist treating the catholics better than the muslims and giving them a hard time.the education here is terrible because students walk out of classes and teachers cant control the students and they just walk around doing laps and interupting classes meaning no body can learn and giving the students a bad future one day i… *(Dec 2022)* - **5/5** — Fantastic School with Great Values: Our Lady of Mount Carmel is an excellent school with a strong sense of community and a focus on Catholic values. The teachers are supportive and enthusiastic, and my child has made great progress in their reading and maths skills. I'm particularly impressed with the Book Start program and the weekly chess club. *(Sep 2022)* - **3/5** — Mixed Feelings about the School: We were initially impressed with Our Lady of Mount Carmel when my child started in Year 1, but over time we felt that the school's focus on Catholic values sometimes overshadowed other important aspects of education. The facilities are generally good, but the school could do more to engage with parents and keep them informed about what's happening in the classroom. *(Jun 2022)* - **3/5** — my 2 years at our ladys: i started at the begining of year 9 but we went into lockdown i got bullied there alot and i told teacher and they don't do anything just make it worse and the school dinners taste like shit *(Jun 2021)* ## Other schools in Ashton-under-Lyne - [St Damian's RC Science College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashton-under-lyne/st-damians-rc-science-college-2829) — 2.2/5 (16 reviews) - [Great Academy Ashton](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashton-under-lyne/great-academy-ashton-11683) — 1.4/5 (14 reviews) - [Ashton Sixth Form College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashton-under-lyne/ashton-sixth-form-college-20558) — 4.4/5 (4 reviews) - [Waterloo Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashton-under-lyne/waterloo-primary-school-18891) — 4.3/5 (4 reviews) - [Canon Johnson CofE Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashton-under-lyne/canon-johnson-cofe-primary-school-20486) — 4.2/5 (4 reviews) - [Rosehill Methodist Primary Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/ashton-under-lyne/rosehill-methodist-primary-academy-20087) — 3.0/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
