- **5/5** — A Wonderful Community: We moved to Brighton a few years ago and were initially hesitant about our daughter joining BACA, but we couldn't be happier with her transition. The teachers are all very supportive, and the values of the school really align with our own. Our daughter loves the school and is thriving in her classes. We're so grateful to be part of the BACA community. *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — Great School with Some Room for Improvement: Our son has been attending BACA for a few years now, and we've seen some great progress in his academic achievements. We love the focus on entrepreneurship and technology, and the sports facilities are top-notch. However, we feel that the school could do more to support parents and keep them informed about what's happening. *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — Horrible: This school is horrible in so many ways there's bullying, racism, homophobia and so much more. The other week a teacher said a racial s!ur to another student and shes still at the school?! I am disgusted with this behaviour and it will not be tolerated anymore. *(May 2022)*
- **2/5** — disapointment from day 1: Sooo disapointed with this school, totally regret sending my son here for 6th form, communication is non existent, teachers DO NOT respond to student emails, end of term exams set and sat with no results or feedback given back to students!! what is the point!! Shambles....Unfortunately I have now had to employ 121 tutors to get my son through his A levels! *(May 2022)*
- **1/5** — baca: they don’t care about you. all they care about is your ‘grades’ *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — BACA is a good school however: it’s an okay school. some teachers are nice, some are terrible. I However, I don’t understand how they allow such a horrible teacher to stay there! There has been so many complaints of things she’s done yet they do not care. Also they don’t care about your grades only how you look. *(May 2021)*
