## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Same as a prison: This school is like a prison. Teachers and pastoral team do not care about welfare of students . Attendance is all they care about. The head of safeguarding is awful. When asking for help you get turned away *(Nov 2025)*
- **1/5** — terrible school: terrible school overpriced food overly strict rules terrible phone policy and no decent anti bullying policies *(Sep 2025)*
- **2/5** — Braunton academy review ( very true ): This school is BAD dont take your kids here if you do they will become anti social due to homework and if they don't do it they will be put in isolation ( you get locked in a room for the day ) also the teachers are VERY strict ( including miss Newton ) also the food is very expensive and unhealthy *(Feb 2025)*
- **1/5** — Look somewhere else: Horrible school. I joined in year 8 and other students made me feel like a total outsider because I was from London. During my time here I suffered racism ( which the school genuinely did nothing about) verbal & physical bullying and my phone got stolen. My head of year was awful and out of his depth. He did nothing to resolve any of the issues I had. If I had to take out any positives it would be that I had great teachers. Especially in English, maths and computer science. But that’s all oversh… *(Aug 2023)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding School and Community: We've been incredibly impressed with Braunton Academy's commitment to supporting the whole child, not just academically but also in terms of their mental wellbeing and community spirit. From the gardening program to the sports facilities, our child has thrived in this environment. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Braunton: Friendly teachers, good subjects and extra curricular *(Nov 2022)*
- **4/5** — Excellent Values and Facilities: As a parent, I'm blown away by the emphasis on values and character development at Braunton Academy. The staff are dedicated and the facilities are top-notch - our child loves the school's sports programs and the new playground is a dream come true. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement but Still a Great School: We had a great experience at Braunton Academy, particularly with the teachers and the extracurricular opportunities. However, I do think the school could improve its communication with parents, especially when it comes to issues like bullying or homework. *(Jun 2022)*
- **2/5** — No support: Through my school life, there’s obviously been some drama and incidents at school, but a lot of the teachers aren’t willing to take your side or help you unless you have a disability or mental illness. Yes, I think it’s good that they are considerate of those with disabilities or mental illnesses, but when you’ve had bullying problems with someone and the fact that they have anxiety means that they get support and not you, is rather frustrating. I remember going to my head of year and confiding … *(Mar 2022)*
