"Unprofessional and horrendous"

Absolutely horrendous joke of a school, my children were removed from this school due to continuous issues with members of staff bullying them, even with social services involvement it continued and were told they were unprofessional and it still continued. Best thing I ever did was take my kids out of that school!

"Avoid this School"

Despite most of the class teachers and the main receptionist being amazing at what theu do this school is a complete joke safe guarding staff bullying multiple parents. There I no safe guarding students from bullying emotional damage and physical harm from other students don't send your children here especially if you have a send child they will be left to rot and you will be told lies about how they are progressing and when you challenge them they will spin it on you saying your the problem

"Do not send your children here"

Absolutely horrendous school. Don't care about parents or pupils, staff constantly accuse parents of lying if they raise a concern about their child(ren) while in school. Only willing to discuss their concerns with social services instead of addressing issues and concerns with parents/carers, Absolutely disgusting behaviour from so called professionals

"Volunteer day "

I went in for a volunteer day to gain some experience, the teacher I worked with for a day hardly spoke to me or interacted with me in any occasion. I went with the flow when the children were asked to do something, I was the eldest child in the class. The teacher didn’t even ask me anything not even my name. Not a hello when I went in or bye when I finished for the day. I went with the kids in the playground and none of the teachers spoke to me. I was only doing my duty and spoke to the kids. As I wasn’t introduced to the class Children they were just looking at me. Then In the afternoon they grew closer to me and and had a good time. The only words the teacher said to me at the end of the day was Miss can you clean the tables, I was happy to do, but instead I got a bad feedback from my agency that I didn’t do anything apart from just standing there, I would definitely call it racism full stop coz it was to obvious.the teachers in the canteen and other classes were nice the actually said hello and spoke to me politely,

"Exceptional School Community"

We sent our children to Co-op Academy Beckfield from Year 1 to Year 6 and couldn't be happier with the education and values they received. The school's focus on removing barriers to achievement really made a difference to our children's confidence and progress.

"Mixed Feelings about Co-op Academy Beckfield"

We have mixed feelings about Co-op Academy Beckfield. While the teachers are supportive and the facilities are excellent, we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents. Our child has been happy but we worry that they are not being challenged enough.
