Bridgwater College Academy

My experience was atrocious and the teachers were absolutely shocking they didn’t even believe my mum with proof of my dyslexia and they said she was lying do not go to this school one of teachers up skirted a girl this school is absolutely disgusting they even laughed at me and my mum in a meeting go to this school at your own risk.

Avoid this school at all costs
The staff and headteachers care nothing about students bar attendance levels
Bullying is rife and not dealt with if pointed out or brought to staff attention, they are not qualified and have no idea how to deal with any child with any kind of sen diagnosis etc
Once your child is singled out they become a target especially from staff
Avoid this school at all costs

If you are considering sending your children to this school, please read carefully. If the school decide to paint a target on your child's back, there is no end to which they will bully, intimidate, Harass and abuse. My daughter, who thankfully is leaving this year has been called useless, has been told she will amount to nothing, has been suspended and reinstated in the same day, been pulled out of lessons for no reason and the last 3 years of her life have been destroyed. Despite complaining to the year head, the deputy head, the head and the school of governors, not one single person has ever addressed our concerns, responded or listened. Simply brushed them under the carpet. The standards are shocking, the level of teaching appalling and the way they victimise and single out children is bordering on illegal. I would really, really, urge anyone to look more closely at the school and consider others in the area before going to this one.

Do not send your children here. This school does NOT prioritise students well-being or mental health. Their only focus is attendance. I have multiple family members who have attended here and myself and we have all had horrible experiences. They use past traumas against students and punish them for things they cannot control. This is not a good school and it can and will potentially traumatise your children.

As a parent, I've been really impressed with the support my child has received from the teachers at Bridgwater College Academy. The sports facilities are amazing and my child has thrived in the sports development centre. They're really preparing them for a bright future!

Not a nice place to work. Children are just numbers to the Leadership Team. Very poor treatment of staff and absolutely no professional judgements are listened to. If there is a problem, it is, and always will be, the teachers fault. The only good things about BCA are the children and the staff below leadership level.

I'm blown away by the education my child is receiving at Bridgwater College Academy. The high levels of challenge and support have really helped them excel academically and personally. I couldn't be prouder!

I'm so happy with the way Bridgwater College Academy approaches learning. The emphasis on reading and cultural opportunity is fantastic and my child is already showing a love for reading that I've never seen before!

Overall, I was satisfied with Bridgwater College Academy when my child was a student. However, I did feel that the communication with parents could be better at times. The leisure facilities were great though!
