Hanham Woods Academy

I would not recommend

uniform policy is outrageous and is cared about more then the students education!
They never offer the proper support to student that really need it and care more about the “naughty” students instead of the vulnerable.
Communication is terrible, you send an email or ring to speak to someone and they don’t get back to you, however they do when they have an issue!
Toilets are vile and kept in poor conditions, for example the doors on the toilets are broken yet they spend their money on extra uniform for students when they don’t have the right attire.

I made this review cuz ppl kept review bombing the school

so bad, the school say it promotes student "support" but then when a student is in head of house crying thier eyes out unable to go to lesson they just give them a note and send them back. students reach out for support but then none is given, and what is given is things they have to apply for themselves, with extremely long waiting lists.
the uniform policy is ridiculous, it seems as if they're making rules for no reason.

Poor communication from most teachers and leaders, they pick and single out children who have “issues” they are not helpful. They drag their feet when asking for help

They send the kids to IA because they can’t be bothered to deal with the situation and when any altercations they don’t ask both parties they just assume.

Teachers and certain members of reception are rude and patronising and speak to students/parents like rubbish and are sarcastic.

They have ridiculous rules for uniform they they can’t uphold they let some students get away with it while others don’t, they would rather send a student home or keep them in IA all day for any incorrect uniform and miss out on education.

They never get back to you when calling or emailing but will call you asap if they have a problem!

Lastly the food at the canteen is rubbish and hardly anything left at lunchtimes

absolute rubbish, disrespectful behaviour lead staff. patronising principal who cares about his own image than the well-being of his students. teachers who encourage you to take the “safe route” and to give up on your dream pathways because they are for underachieving students. students are homophobic, racists and just outright rude to everyone.
