- **5/5** — Excellent School so far in Greatlever!!: Great school!! I had a brilliant experience with my eldest one who was in the first badge when school started 5 years ago. She had excellent GCSE results. Teachers were very helping too. It was a bit of a bumpy ride due to temparary school site but now they have a proper new school with all the facilities and also i am happy with my second child attending this school. Strictness is much needed in High schools as the children are out of control because of their behavious & acts. Overall I am happ… *(Sep 2024)*
- **1/5** — review: too strict ......................................................... *(Aug 2024)*
- **1/5** — A living hell.: This school is terrible. Terrible staff, terrible food, everything. From what I’ve seen, the King’s Leadership Academy schools in other areas are definitely better. Whatever you do, never go to this school. I don’t know how on earth Ofsted rated them “good”. The staff give detentions to students who haven’t done anything wrong. Students’ mental health is ruined by this school. The food is like prison food. This school is a living hell. *(Jul 2024)*
- **5/5** — Great school: Lovely staff my child is doing very well in the school teachers are approachable and will speak honestly about my child some children and parents don’t have any respect for the school and it’s believe and there is nothing wrong with food I would know about it because my child is a fussy eater and he would soon tell me if he wasn’t happy. *(Jul 2024)*

- **1/5** — School made in hell: Awful school. It lacks organisation, inadequate disciplinary action, school food is equivalent to prison food, has ruined many children's mental health. A family member of mine goes to this school and i have noticed it has caused her mental health to deteriorate Today, the school punished her something that she was not informed of and when she tried to explain her side, they kept on shouting at her. The teachers also act unprofessional towards student. I am sick of school staff for not taking re… *(Jun 2024)*
- **1/5** — Don’t believe all you are told.: Only put one star because can’t put none. Avoid this school at all costs. Don’t believe all you are told regarding it. They treat pupils like soldiers. Lining up for everything. Speak and your given detention. Your child cannot reply to anything if they are accused of anything they get the punishment no matter what. The school has moved into the new build. The headmaster has no interest in pupils more interested in pupils coats and not scuffing the new floor. This school is bad for bullying etc.… *(Feb 2024)*
