Arena Academy

Absolutely terrible. The only good thing about this school is that i'm leaving it soon. Bullying is terrible and nothing is ever done. They hand out the detentions like fucking sweets causing there to be no proper discipline for students who don't behave. There are little to no good teachers left since the ones who actually care about students have all left and all we have is cover teachers CONSTANTLY. The school library is a good place to be but WAYYYY too small for the amount of students that go in there. The school is shit at communicating and due to their "no phone" policy students cannot contact their parents AT ALL. They never send students home if they are sick and leave them in classrooms to suffer for hours leading most of the to not coming into school the next day, less lessons would be missed if we just let the students leave the school and recover. Its a waste of time trying to get any amount of mental health support at the school, they only care about their money and attendance statistics and not student wellbeing. I, myself, was meant to get school counselling but surprise surprise.. THE SCHOOL NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH. The teachers in the corridors during lesson change over YELL AT THE STUDENTS WITH MEGAPHONES to get to class and the corridors and class timetables are unorganised. it was so much better when the years had different lunch and break times because there is definitely not enough room nor seating during lunch and break for all the school years and lining up after break and lunch is a huge waste of lesson time that they call "valuable" when a student is a few minutes late to form class. They want everyone to fit into their boxes and respect the teachers when hardly any teachers respect the students. They now have a countdown on an intercom during lesson changes too which says "you have 10 seconds to get to period __" and then counts down from 10. The whole school is anxiety inducing.

don’t force ur children to go to this school. i experienced my worst days at this school as the students , teachers and environment added to my anxiety. i’ve done a business course and my teacher was severely racist to a student as she referred to him as a terrorist due to his ethnicity. the school hangs up “stop racism posters” and i think it’s a whole lot of bullshit as the teachers did NOT fire her instead she’s not aloud a promotion. this obv means that she didn’t learn anything as she still picked on the student. There’s only about 3 teachers where i can genuinely say they care about the students education. new slts are getting way to rude to students not even giving them a chance to speak and all the good teachers have left so i HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL.!!!!!!!!!!!

If your ready to experience hell go for it, this school has given me serious anxiety it’s not even funny💀 racist teachers, rude teachers, teachers can’t even hack it as most of the good ones have left😭 it’s actually out of proportion and the school needs serious help. Dirty pads/ tampons on the toilet floor, they under-grade your work aswell. The slt think that by shouting at students they r fixing the problems and then complain when the students defend themselves like be for real. One of the teachers got kicked for making severe racist comments about Muslims and u think this is the picture perfect school to send your children??? There’s WAY better alternatives for secondary schools than this place. Only about 5 teacher I can name that actually care…. Anyways don’t send your children here!

It the best school ever they gave free pens out to us

I went to Open Day! Its a lot better than before. The school is back on track

when I joined the school the school was alright Mr Rogers was barely there but the school was alright it wasn't that bad there was still activitys till this Massive Cunt (sorry for explicive language) Mr Raj mann came in He told us bout this bs story saying he was some top notch criminal yet thinking his the next gru from minions but when some kids who are absloute knobjockeys come up to him he becomes an absolute pussy and can't defend his life the school is now run that bad Students who think they are bad roam the hallways giving zero fucks till a teacher comes up to them and then they will suck there cocks clean so they do not get a detention what makes it even worse is they've had no teachers in certain subjects such as business and Triple science which may but more likely fail the students so overall core needs to go because they are a load of cunts in suits with there posh ass learning but they have no clue what it is to be an arena academy student all the good teacher left because just like the nazi regime there's a dictator that goes by the name of Mr Mann trying to brainwash the students next thing uno there be heil manns So get rid of core

When I first joined this school the head teacher mr rogers was an actual g nothing bad ever happened and if it did he would resolve it quickly and properly, but then this big headed jerk who just cares about money and this stupid trust called core came along and they ruined it. Any time a kid did something against his quote on quote fair rules the “popular” kids would always seem to get there where and when one unnamed teacher tried his best to make it fair he gets sacked. To sum things up even the teachers could tell the school was going downhill as one by one they found new jobs where they didn’t have to be a part of core. So to sum things up for real core stands for corporation of retarded eggs. (That was the only word beginning with e that made sense)

Bad school, head teacher has no idea what he’s doing, thinks he can run the school.
The kids act hard when really they are with their mates. When they are on their own the act completely different
The hygiene is terrible, the toilets are not clean there’s rubbish everywhere
When there is fights teachers do nothing about it and don’t care for students

If your child has any problem at all, the school will not help at all, it's all about there results and your child is nothing to them. Please don't waste your time or more importantly your child's happiness on sending them to this school. Poor school, poor teachers and a bag full of anxieties for your child in one package.

Many teachers only teach for the power not because they enjoy it and actually want to help you. Also too many people think they’re above everyone else and when they do something wrong but then something right they get more rewards. Dumb. Also the indoor environment isn’t usually kept well, unhygienic toilets.

If you don’t mind developing an extreme amount of anxiety then go for it. Too many people think they’re hard when actually they’re just sad on the inside.

The school used to be good but it’s gone down hill and run by another parenting company who doesn’t care about the students.

Most teachers are helpful however many are too arrogant and have nothing else to do but to shout at you and not help you with things. Also, many students are too big for their boots and think they own it all.
