Sir Bernard Lovell Academy

This school is absolutely awful for children. The bullying within this school is dreadful. My daughter suffered with anxiety and depression as the result of bullying and harassment there. The teachers do absolutely nothing about it, they don’t care. You are the problem for complaining about bullying. The pastrol care is a joke unless you are the bully then they bend over backwards for you. This school is an embrassment to the sector and the school should be closed down for safeguarding and neglect. Her Gp write to the school and asked for a support card guess what they refused it. My daughter was hit, slapped and beaten up in locker rooms, reported guess what nothing happened it still continued. 26 times I went to that school and demanded they let my daughter leave after another attack and a failure to support her. They lie to ofsted and police informing them of things they should have been doing but failed to achieve. The teachers don’t care and don’t get me started on the embarrassment of the bullying policy, it’s smoke and mirrors. It’s there but no one ever sticks to it or uses it in the first place. Even when someone’s on a b3 and suspended they arrived at school with a knife for my child and guess what she’s back in the school. The best thing I ever did was move my child to a robust caring school. This school should be utterly ashamed of themselves!!! No one cares
As for the head master does he even exist?? he won’t meet with anyone!

A happy , friendly school. Hardworking teachers who genuinely care about the pupils and will go out of their way to help. Brilliant SEN department full of very qualified and caring staff. Behaviour is generally good as dealt with effectively so school is calm and quiet. Lots of clubs , trips and activities on offer. Corridors can get busy between lessons. Behaviour issues exist as they do in all schools, but there is a good system in places to deal with it. It is used as an example for other school because it works so well and it tries to be fair.

i got treated so bad there i was picked on . suspend every day, isolation every single day, i had to bunk lessons as they would not sort out bullying, teacher would pick on the “naughty students” for no reason and they don’t know how to help students with special needs. Whenever i am in isolation i see students with sen and they just get screamed and for no apparent reason and you can tell the student is overstimulated by the situation and the teachers make is worse they need to be sorted out. If u want a bad experience go to Sir Bernal Lovell but if not i recommend not this school.

this school is bad as they do not take care of students well and do not care about who they are treat some people like of the bottom of there shoes

The staff do not have their priorities in the right places they care to more about students appearance rather than the students wellbeing and their education.

It's very average at this school, too many children , school teaching quite odd . The headteacher is never seen, and some of the weird assembly lessons he has given one calling Donald Trump a racist is totally out of order. My son don't really get anything half decent to do for home work. Maths which is in my eyes top of the list nothing! He has spent some time on homework for teachers not to even ask for it, which is deflating and far from encouraging. Teachers off sick a lot so supplies which are useless. And to me seen as we are hot in mental health these days a lot said to freak kids out. I wish had more control over this but raised I got slapped down as of I was over reacting. If my child comes home feeling low after a lesson then in my eyes the teacher has not done a good job. It's all messed up over here brain washing young minds. No wonder a lot of kids a struggling.

I am a good student who loves learning but some classes and supply teachers in there let people mess about in one of my classes with an actual teacher there were most students chucking paper airplanes and were fighting before the bell went. I was horrified and was very stressed out. Second of, they say they have good pastoral leader care but my mum went to a meeting about my mental health because they didn’t put anything in place the first day back in year 10. I came home crying my eyes out and I didn’t want to go back again so I didn’t. They say they have good mental health support but no the sen staff don’t even listen when I told them I was worried about something they completely ignored it and said it wasn’t w big worry. Third off I had bullying there were people hassling me at lunchtime forcing me to do stuff I didn’t want to do a group of 7 girls. I felt uncomfortable and unsafe and I wasn’t being listened to anyway so I didn’t tell anyone. I have a fair good amount of friends but I think most people in that school are rough and out for trouble. I’m austic and really struggle. I even dread going out now sometimes because I’m really worried I might see people that were horrible to me. Then, they keep changing groups every year with no signposts in advance. Year 7 and 8 we stayed in tutor groups but than year 9 we switched to learning groups. Year 10 is shocking what they done they have 2 sides of the school in tutor groups but in year 10 they dumbly mixed the 2 sides of the school together and did a whole new side of the year again with the 1s mixing in with the 2s then they dumbly put some people on one side of the school then some people on the other side. Didn’t even tell me when they knew I had poor mental health in year nine. They say go to lunch club but you get idiots peering through the window laughing and I still had this weird girl hassling me. Don’t go this school if your a sen student all your get is poor mental health and hardly any adjustments. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone who struggles with mental health they act like your fine when your not. There very bullish and they call you liars if you do raise a concern or they just say your fine. It’s not good I would not go there now even stepping through those gates is a struggle to me now . I’m sorry if your planning on going here but I would think again if you are going to.

My sweet boy just likes cricket and gets picked on would not recommend this school class rooms are bad desks are dirty and teacher don't listen

Such a horrible school ran by lazy staff who don’t care about the children they are teaching!! They don’t care about mental health!! They are extremely strict I.e not aloud to wear your coat in doors or even hang it on a chair! They send students to isolation for bare minimum things even when your in yr 11 and meant to be studying for GCSEs. The teachers are mostly vile who get a kick out of picking on children and making their life’s miserable. The communication skills are dire, I would never said any child there

I'm so grateful to have my child attend Sir Bernard Lovell Academy. The staff are truly dedicated and passionate about their work, and the facilities are fantastic! My child is thriving and has developed a love for learning. The school's values of respect, equality, and individuality really shine through in everything they do.

This school only cares about Atendance and Uniform. I did gcses here (yr7-yr11) it was horrible, they would rather you be in school when ill, they don't care about the mental health of their students, I am glad to get away from this school. The policy on bullying is just to tell the victim to ignore it/ deal with it. I had to deal with homophobia and transphobia at this school. The teachers didn't care and allowed it to happen.
I never ate the schools food as I've always heard about how bad it was.
The school can't deal with anything they'd rather get the students to do it themselves.
The water fountains are always full of old food and stuffed with packets making them unusable.
Most of the teachers are low key sexist and homophobic, many of them don't help the students.
The teachers and substitute teachers aren't well educated on illnesses like diabetes.
The only good thing I can think of about this school is the school library, but even the library could be better.
The Lgbtq+ club got so much attention that the homobic people in the school would started looking into the room to pick people to bully for it.
The teachers never allow students to use the bathroom during lessons and say that we must go inbettween lessons but then other teachers block them, bettween lessons meaning students cannot use them.
The schools attitude to cleaning the science labs is horrible, on my last day of school I was in science and it smelled like the Room was moulding. One of the boys decided to lift the cover on the sink it the middle of the classroom and discovered moulding food. It was actually a running "joke" with the teacher that they never cleaned the classroom floor. Which I proved as I left a pen on the floor in a place that should of been cleaned and it stayed there for 2 weeks.
The security was apparently so poor that they couldn't open up the backgate which alot of people would use.
The school is bad with communications.
I was also told by many teachers that if we were to do anything bad after/before school hours to take off the school uniform so others wouldn't be able to pin it to the school.
One year I got told off for having half the day off for being ill because it was "unauthorised" though it was the school that sent me home. And the teacher that told me off was the teacher who's class I was ill in.
And the toilets were nearly always unusable either because they had been blocked or because there was no toilet roll

We've had a generally positive experience at Sir Bernard Lovell Academy. The school's curriculum is well-structured, and the teachers are generally knowledgeable and enthusiastic. However, I do feel that the communication between parents and teachers could be better, and there are sometimes issues with pupil conduct. Overall, it's a good school, but there's definitely room for improvement.

The school doesn't sort out bulling issues properly and the school does nothing about homophobic or transphobic comments made by other pupils. Not to mention the girls school uniform makes them feel uncomfortable and self conscious.

My children attended Sir Bernard Lovell Academy from Year 7 to Year 11, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The school's commitment to academic excellence, combined with its wonderful facilities and supportive staff, made it an absolute pleasure to be a part of. We're so grateful for the opportunities our children had and the people they've become.

they tend to not sort out problems they need too but focus on the smallest pathetic things like uniform. the uniform is shocking and horrible makes the girls feel rubbish about themselves

It’s a really bad school they don’t deal with bullying at all they punish students for literally nothing and it’s so rough

Pretty good you know
