The nurses don't give a shit about you, if you're feeling ill? Drink water. They don't offer any help and most of the time are unavailable. Mental Health? Doesn't exist apparently. Teachers blatantly favourite others and some treat you like you are in year 2. Pe? No variation at all, you do the same thing over and over again. Shorts? Sorry gals, can't be grey even though boys literally wear grey trousers. Counselling doesn't help and the food most of t… *(Jun 2025)* - **1/5** — Never send your child here, Please anywere but here.: I left that school 2 years ago and the thing that I experienced still haunt me. Teachers lying to my face, ANC staff not knowing how to handle special needs childeren and even just yelling at an crying autistic student for not knowing how to answer a question insted of trying to calm the student down, placing male students in protection (anc) when other students fight then because they picked on the wrong person and (at the time dont know if they still have this) put the victim in correction, su… *(Aug 2024)* - **1/5** — Don't send your special needs child here: Absolutely terrible,no care for students and special needs *(Nov 2023)* - **1/5** — some bs: the teachers r horrible theyre so rude and agressive and dismiss people js to make their life easier like wut abt rs? *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — literally horrific: the teachers are verbally abusive, abuse their power, threaten students, expel them for the littlest things, refuse to take in the fact some people have additional needs and get impatient with them, constantly lie to make themselves look a victim after literally forcing a child into tears for yelling and favouritise students extremely. *(May 2023)* - **4/5** — There's no more then 2 genders: Its an ok school but they teach you more then 2 genders there's only 2 genders respectful teachers *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE: teachers could not care less about your children's mental health or physical at that, they tell them to get some water and if they're still feeling ill come back for medicine. also they cant organize anything if they had a plan set out in front of them, they dont even inform parents to events the day before. *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — Don't send your child here: I'd like to say good things about this school. Unfortunately I can't. My child has only been there for nearly 3 years, now in year 8 and quickly falling behind. My child is autistic, gets bullied everyday, is still awaiting counselling, and worst of all, doesn't feel safe In this school. Educationis politically based, teaching my child that there are none than 2 genders which is pathetically wrong. My child receives no 1to1 help which my child is entitles top, due to being on the SEN programme. … *(Feb 2023)* - **1/5** — gay school: i do not like this school because its gay *(Nov 2022)* ## Other schools in Barnsley - [Outwood Academy Shafton](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/barnsley/outwood-academy-shafton-14414) — 1.6/5 (26 reviews) - [Horizon Community College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/barnsley/horizon-community-college-20307) — 1.9/5 (22 reviews) - [Netherwood Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/barnsley/netherwood-academy-18238) — 1.7/5 (16 reviews) - [Outwood Academy Carlton](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/barnsley/outwood-academy-carlton-14413) — 2.1/5 (11 reviews) - [Holy Trinity Catholic and Church of England School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/barnsley/holy-trinity-catholic-and-church-of-england-school-18812) — 1.9/5 (6 reviews) - [All Saints Academy Darfield](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/barnsley/all-saints-academy-darfield-13624) — 1.6/5 (6 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
