- **1/5** — Avoid if your child is likely to get bullied: The school is only OK for those who can sail through - they are interested in results only and looking good. If your child has any academic issues or gets bullied they will not support and will deny there are problems. They do not effectively deal with bullying at all and you will be lucky to get a response if you report bullying. The victim will get blamed and taken out of class rather than actually dealing with the bullying issues. This is not just a one off theme and is repeated again and aga… *(Nov 2024)*
- **1/5** — Not meeting children's learning needs: Failing school, not fit for purpose. Had to pull my son out of year 10 due to learning needs not being met, bullying and poor communication from the school. Since starting a new school 6 months ago he is now thriving and his mental health has drastically improved. I assumed Lincroft was a good seconday school due to its location in a decent area, but I was so wrong. *(Apr 2024)*
- **1/5** — I would run from lincroft if I were you: It is like literally hell. The only reason it has a good rating bc whenever our schl is being watched over for like an ofsted report everyone puts on there goody pants. The food in the canteen is like not very well cooked, they have the silliest rules (such as u can’t walk through the main hall anymore 😭) and there’s teacher usually standing outside the toilets telling you when you get to go in. There’s more cover teachers then ACTUAL teachers and the teachers that have apparently got a degree i… *(Dec 2023)*
- **1/5** — Terrible: I HATE this school.NEVER send your kids there. They treat autistic pupils unfairly , teachers don’t even care about your mental health, you will get emails if you are off sick for ONE DAY saying you need to come into school they wouldn’t even care if u had a virus they will still tell you to come in, lots of bullying, spent money on unisex toilets wich nobody asked for or needed they just did it to look like a amazing school DONT BE FOOLED BY LINCROFT!!! *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — My honest review of Lincroft Academy: Lessons are boring, teachers are incompetent and incapable of controlling their pupils, most of the kids are completely unremarkable at best and completely obnoxious at worst. Their whole disciplinary system- wait there isn't one, they just make it up as they go along. Absolutely zero help for students with learning and/or behavioural difficulties because that would require effort on their part and they can't be bothered (they'd rather spend that money on nice new unisex toilets that nobody aske… *(Aug 2022)*
- **1/5** — pick another school: overall bad school and there is a lot better schools your child couldgo to *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings: We've been attending Lincroft Academy for a year now, and while we appreciate the school's commitment to its CARE values, we feel that communication with parents could be improved. The facilities are excellent, and our child has benefited from the Inclusion Hub, but we've experienced some issues with the curriculum and teaching staff. We're hoping that these issues will be addressed in the future. *(Jun 2022)*
- **2/5** — Lincroft is a hellhole: It’s a horrible school which treats autistic people unfairly. The canteen is dreadful and the oak block is basically a cardboard box with stairs . *(May 2022)*
- **1/5** — horrible: its dreadful and i literally hate everyone there so just pick another school *(Feb 2022)*
