"please help others get out of south shore"

South shore has had many bad reviews and that shows something. There has been many accounts of racism and sexism plus bullying please go to a different school.

"IF YOU WANT AN EXPENSIVE THERAPY BILL LATER DO NOT ATTEND HERE"

I was being harassed and teachers did nothing to help. When I finally freaked out because I was ELEVEN. I was punished for allegedly swearing at teachers and so on. I was put in iso. I was in tears that when someone asked if I was okay the head of year came out and yelled at me each time saying it was all my fault. After getting off the phone with my mother she lied to my damn face saying they’re will be consequences when I get home (in reality my mother verbally abused her for putting me into iso for standing up for myself-thanks mama🫶). The next day I was put into BASE for the same reason and had to stay after school.

After this I’ve been left with PTSD and trust issues. If you still need a school may I recommend Armfield Academy? I have been there for a long time and the teachers are way more welcoming and polite. They will listen if your child has SEN or a mental health issue. Despite the wait list your child will get treated with kindness and respect.


THANKS FOR READING MAY THIS SCHOOL BE SHUT DOWN!!

"Great school "

My little brother goes here and it’s a amazing school they help him personally if he needs help with anything and if there’s a problem they sort it straight away instead of leaving it for weeks then addressing it.

When he started in year 7 they put him in a smaller class away from all other years to get him comfortable with it because he’s a really anxious kid and wasn’t sure about going so they placed him there to allow him time to get used to the school

"Some Good, Some Room for Improvement"

We had a mixed experience at South Shore Academy. The school has a lot to offer, including a great range of extracurricular activities and a supportive community. However, we sometimes found communication with teachers to be lacking, and we felt that the school could do more to engage with parents.
