- **1/5** — don’t send your child here. it’s terrible: my experience at bba was so bad i got bullied constantly and no one helped. i was trying to end my life because of the bullying and i got kicked out standing up for myself.the school for learning is also terrible. the teachers don’t teach they bully students and force them to act a certain way which ruins the magic of learning for students.i moved schools like i said earlier in this and im so much happier i’ve made so much better friends and i don’t get picked on by staff even though i never do … *(Jul 2025)*
- **1/5** — Bristol Brunel academy: Trust me don’t ever send your children here, their is loads of bullies and at lunch they give us greasy stuff and teachers should be ashamed of themselves because they would be rude to me. For example I see one teacher but I’m not gonna say his name. He would treat kids horrible and constantly shouts at us for small things and the school is very strick if you want your child to have the best experience, don’t ever send them to this school. And I’m sorry I have to say this but this school wanted … *(May 2024)*
- **1/5** — Review for BBA: Teachers are very disrespectful and don't care about the students. There's a head of year 8 and I have heard her swearing I'm assemblies and at year 7 camp. I am very disappointed with this school *(Jan 2024)*

- **1/5** — a 3 year old could run this school better than its head teachers: send your kid here if you want them to experience the worst 5 years of their life *(Apr 2023)*
- **1/5** — Terrible: Bullying from pupils through to teachers. Half hour for lunch. Terrible school. Took my child out. No SEM support. They take child in if too much help needed they pick on them constantly. Then say the child is unruly and pack em off. Change rulings to suit themselves good attendance no longer celebrated, child has to have improved! Only care about certain ethnic demographics (non English for sure!) *(Apr 2023)*
- **1/5** — Terrible: Terrible school. Bullying at all levels. Teachers are not nice they also bully the children including headmaster. Should be ashamed of himself. Would never send a child here. Less than half an hour for lunch. *(Nov 2022)*
- **3/5** — it was okay ish: some of the teachers are friendly and can actually teach their subjects, others are rude and cannot teach for the life of them. the food is mostly fast food and greasy, you can rarely find healthy things or vegetarian/vegan food. the break and lunch times are really short, but the lesson lengths are suitable. the building itself is quite nice, apart from the toilets which are really dirty. there was lots of bullying in school, and the teachers didn't do anything about it. i also remember student… *(Aug 2022)*
- **4/5** — BBA school: I like the school. I feel safe and loved in the school, and there is no bullying, but I think the timetable for freetime could be extended as we don't really have much time for lunch or morning break. *(Aug 2021)*
