The overall atmosphere feels harsh, and many of the staff come across as rude or dismissive. They rarely listen to students unless something very serious has happened in ur life or outside of school, which makes it hard to feel supported day to day. The rules are also extremely strict to the point of being unfair. For example, students can be punished for very small things, like losing a piece of paper called a “reach card.” In some cases, th… *(Sep 2025)* - **1/5** — Shit school: If i could give it a zero i could, i was put into so many bad mental states because of this school it is absolute bollocks they put on acts infront of people coming in to view the school to seem like its a safe nice place to send your child. it is not. they couldn’t care less about you or your education they just want control. and if you dont act like a robot obeying everything they say or ask u to do they will try punish you for no reason a few teachers are alright but most are miserable gits w… *(Sep 2025)* - **1/5** — Horrible: Disgusting school I hate it stuid miss crissel pushed me I hated her shank ur self bro! *(Jun 2024)* - **1/5** — Avonbourne issuch a bad school.: I took my daughter out of school because the teachers and students were horrible. Teachers act if no one else matters but them, and put her in the incorrect sets multiple times. She learned nothing at this school and her mental health got worse from the horrible girls at the school. The team spoke to her and other students Atrociously. They couldnt give a single care in the world that she was getting bullied. Not a good school. Should get closed down. *(Jun 2024)* - **1/5** — Avonbourne Girls Academy: Pulled my daughter out of this awful school. who really don't care about the kids.Teachers and Head are full of false promises.Teachers are young and inexperienced. Think twice about going there *(Apr 2024)* - **1/5** — Sorry for the use of foul language but: This school is like a used condom you find on the side of the road. There is alot of bullying and the most punishment people get is a day in iso and a finger wag from a teacher. They care more about grades than the mental health of students and will gladly pile on detentions if you can't focus on the homework due to personal or mental issues. Some of the teachers are the most friendly and interesting people I have ever met but a majority of them are just robots wearing skins suits making sure yo… *(Sep 2023)* - **1/5** — Untrained, not sen aware or inclusive on any level: The Human resources and team here are not trained in how to support people with sen neeeds. There is a lack of empath for pupils and those working here too as apprentices. I would not recommend this place to my worst energy. There was bullying by management , unprofessional and also lack of communication. They do not want to offer training or support especially to those struggling, what sort of people do that ? They have a disposable view of apprentices here. *(Jul 2023)* - **1/5** — son who is not a girl not happy: everyday i wake happy and think its going to be good day but than i remember i have school and it makes me wanna sleep for ever. *(Jun 2023)* - **4/5** — students experience: i am a student a avonbourne girls academy . i like this school because it has taught me almost everything that i know and i have only been here for 2yrs [as i am in yr8]... i would recommend this school . however there is too much homework , it is easy and efficient but there is lots of it . *(Apr 2023)* - **1/5** — avonbournes lack of care for neurodivergent kids: just a pre warning i havent been here in two years so things could’ve changed but i doubt they have. avonbourne is an absolute shit hole and does nothing to support their neurodivergent students specifically when undiagnosed/masking. im autistic and although i didnt know it at the time all they gave me was an hour elsa lesson every week and a pass so that i could leave class 5 minutes early. but even before that, it took my mum 3 years of constant emails and phonecalls just to be put on a specia… *(Nov 2022)* ## Other schools in Bournemouth - [The Bishop of Winchester Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bournemouth/the-bishop-of-winchester-academy-11943) — 1.4/5 (16 reviews) - [Glenmoor Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bournemouth/glenmoor-academy-15040) — 2.0/5 (15 reviews) - [Bournemouth School for Girls](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bournemouth/bournemouth-school-for-girls-12622) — 3.0/5 (12 reviews) - [The Bourne Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bournemouth/the-bourne-academy-11947) — 2.3/5 (10 reviews) - [Avonbourne Boys' Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bournemouth/avonbourne-boys-academy-21042) — 2.0/5 (9 reviews) - [Winton Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bournemouth/winton-academy-15039) — 3.7/5 (6 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
