La Fontaine Academy

I removed my children from this school. My perfectly able and neurotypical child was not stretched in any way. My neurodiverse child was labelled a naughty kid, and excluded temporarily a number of times despite the fact that he had identified special educational needs - this could not be worse practice. The SENCO was ineffective and had to do whatever the Head told them to do. Huge staffing changes meant there was little continuity for my children. All they are interested in is creating perfect little robot children who can read by rote their times tables - any kind of difference and this school will drive it out of them. Kids since moved to another Bromley primary and have thrived.

My child was abused by 2 teachers. The school forces parents to sign a SEND form, so in order to convince you that your child needs help, they will fabricate stories about your child convincing your your child has special needs. The school in an independently run academy so the head can get away with anything. 17 teachers have left in 11 months and 21 children were removed by parents in less than 1 year. The teachers said they left due to bullying and due to the things they have witnessed occurring to other kids. Many of the staff are not qualified .
