Highfield Leadership Academy

My only advise would be stay clear. This school offers nothing to support your child and has declined in the last 3 years, 3 different head teachers. Most teachers do there best to educate your child.

The school building is nice, and there is much more support access for students. Bullying behaviour is average but is being worked on to be fixed. Teachers on a whole are decent, although sometimes they can be biased. I enjoy being at this school, though it must be improved.

Highfield has a good reputation but it’s like a book u can see the cover and like it but when when you read it it’s totally different.
The teachers are very strict and are racist sometimes .

Both my boys went through Highfield and yes it had it's issues as all schools do but some hide the issues better than others. We always found the teaching staff to be very responsive and the leadership team took on any feedback. In fairness you only get out of a school what you put into it. My two were both head boys and both took very active roles in the school all throughout the time they were there.

Ofsted and blackpool council need to talk to the students in year 10 we are wanting to speak to you but our teachers dont let us this school is the worst and there isnt a worse school the teachers are crap my name is amy edwards im in year 10 you need to speak to me in person

I'm generally pleased with the school, but I think there could be more support for children with special needs. The staff are friendly and the facilities are modern, but sometimes I feel like communication between home and school could be better.

Im a student at this school in year 10 and im happy to talk to anyone about the school its rubbish i could use stronger words but i wont on here its the worst school ive heard of blaming everything on year 10 girls when not everything is our fault teachers and other kids do make mistakes an things too there is about 3 or 4 good teachers they are amazimg the rest are horrible i hope they get rid of the school my name is amy edwards im in year 10 happy to talk about this to amyone if wanted

I am a student at highfield school.This school is a massive shit hole students hate the place and it is not a good place for kids these days teachers are shit and if anything this school shpuld be knocked down even my mum hates this school blackpool council and ofsted should actually have conversations with the students bring them out the classroom and speak to them mostly year 10

My child is absolutely thriving at Highfield Leadership Academy. The staff are so supportive and caring, and the facilities are always clean and well-maintained. I love the values they're teaching our children, especially RESPECT and TEAMWORK.

My child attended Highfield Leadership Academy from Year 7 to Year 11 and achieved fantastic grades. The performance leadership program helped them develop a strong sense of confidence and responsibility. I'm very grateful for the excellent education they received.

such a bad school, teachers don’t even teach you. They scream at you for crying and needing the toilet, They don’t let you go to the toilet at all they stand outside the toilets and do not let you in, even at break and lunch time they stand outside and don’t let anyone in. They like to make jokes about you apperence a lot , getting rid of all the actual good teachers , the school is in disgusting shape there’s so much dust and dirt everywhere and it’s not because of the children. The school needs to be shut down! They can’t run it. Also the cameras around the school don’t even work they are fake ones inside the building! Even high in less member of staff have agreed they are fake

They never listen to u and always talk over u,u get in trouble for everything

Not very good. Teacher was found with vodka in a classroom, took 2 years for her to go. Too many teachers leave mid-term and they try to have senior leadership teachers be subject teachers meaning as students we miss out on huge amounts of content. I’m a year behind on my RE not even because of lockdown, it was because they gave us a supply who couldn’t teach RE. Behaviour has gotten better, and bullying incidents have gone down, it’s the teaching that isn’t the best though.

best school in blackpool compared to the others

The teachers are homophobic,they pick on students with social anxiety and mental health problems. They constantly yell at students for no valid reason. One of the teachers drank vodka while cheating and once she pushed a student downstairs, it took two years to get her fired even though there were multiple eyewitnesses
