- **3/5** — alright: this school was a nice school to go to but there was a problem with bullies, they didn't get rid of them fast enough and they caused my traumatic experiences when going here when I was getting bullied in years 9-11 I loved the teachers except for the extremely strict teachers and i also didn't like how everyone bunked their lessons *(Jan 2025)*
- **1/5** — please fix this 🙏: the teachers don't listen to you - my English teacher ignores me when I put my hand up and she tells me to put it down even if it's an important question. The school stresses me out I hate this place! The environment is dirty and there is rubbish everywhere. The kids are mean and the teachers don't notice or stop bullying! Some kids in my school the other day were literally blowing bits of paper at me through a pen and my history teacher did nothing. The same ones took my shoes in dance and agai… *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — Bad school: My time at this school was absolutely horrible. Teachers do not care about any type of bulling. They also do not care about mental health and only care about education and grades. *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — dont send your child: this school is hell for my child they dont care about mental health and ony child who try's to challenge teachers get treated differently if your child has special needs like ADHD its teriible for them ive had to pull one of my kid out of this place because of not being able to help then id hate it for any child in that school. sort your self out paca *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — School: They’re very strict with uniform but overall a alright school *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — Paca school: Not always the best school but not the worst *(Apr 2022)*
- **3/5** — it's alright: The vice principal keeps stealing my hat and I get called an emo by random people in the hallways but I haven't been called a slur yet so that's nice *(Apr 2022)*
- **1/5** — Bad school: Terrible school to go to *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — portslade aldridge community acadamy: great school with a range of after school activities and academic subjects, great place to go and very accepting of all backgrounds and sexualities. PACA has a lot of involvement in the community and fundraising and includes clubs such as the Social Action Committee, i would recommend going its a good oppertunity *(Jan 2021)*
