## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some positives, but room for improvement: Overall, I think Chase Terrace Academy is a good school, but there are some areas that could be improved. My daughter has had a good experience, but she's also had some challenging teachers and not all of the resources are up to date. However, the values of the school are great and the sixth form provision is excellent. I just hope they can address some of the issues we've experienced. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with great values: I'm so impressed with the facilities at Chase Terrace Academy, especially the sports hall where my son plays football. The values of respect, community, tenacity, and aspiration really shine through in the way the teachers and staff care for the students. My son has thrived here and I couldn't be happier with his progress. *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — Worst school ever!: I DO NOT recommended attending this so called ‘prison’. At lunches all of the corridors are locked off as-well as the doors so once you are outside there is physically no way of getting into the building until the end of lunch! You are made to share a total of 8 toilets and 3 sinks (which never have soap in) between a rough estimate of 1250 students and non of them ever have toilet roll in, doors on the cubicles or even toilet seats?! No basic hygiene throughout this school whatsoever!!! There i… *(Dec 2022)*
- **1/5** — made me want to kms: literally got bullied here for years and they didn’t do anything, got punched and beat up and they didn’t deal with it at all. never go here *(Nov 2022)*
- **1/5** — Terrible: I am a student at chase terrace academy, and for the three years I have been going there nothings changed. Bullying and harassment is accepted, and teachers are scared of pupils parents. A very poor school with sub after sub. The school has no hygiene or cleanliness the toilets, often dirty, food over the toilets, and a horrible smell 24/7 the teachers are extremely unprofessional and have no filter to what they say to the children. For me I would 100% not recommend this school to any parent or … *(Oct 2022)*
- **4/5** — Overall, reasonable: I think the best part of this school is the teachers. Any teacher would give up time to help you, and most teachers do. They really care about the students that try, and have no issue in telling off kids that are being disruptive, or annoying. The part that this school falls short on, I think as a student is student voice. They say that they listen, but the people that listen can't do anything about it. (e.g. a language teacher can't change the uniform), also many of the teachers don't agree wit… *(May 2022)*
- **2/5** — Chase Terrace Review: In my opinion, the school overall is amazing but that's just with the appearance and the sight of the school. The amount of care is horrible. They only care about kids getting work done and what they are wearing. "Representing the school" shouldn't cut it.. they need to start caring about people being potentially bullied, struggling with mental health and how the people feel because it is just not on. Are coats on inside the building more important than at least 1/8 students getting bullied. You… *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great choice for our family: We were a bit nervous about switching schools, but Chase Terrace Academy has been a fantastic choice for our family. The theatre company is amazing, and my daughter has loved being part of the plays. The staff are so supportive and the facilities are excellent. We feel very lucky to be part of the CTA community. *(Mar 2022)*
- **2/5** — Some great teachers: As a student I agree with many of the reviews I was bullied to the point I wasn’t eating and they did nothing, I also went through a lot of mental health issues due to school and they did the bare minimum, they care a lot about what girls can and cannot wear, especially the length of skirts, the only thing I liked about school was some teachers who cared a lot more than the head of school did and my friends *(Sep 2021)*
- **1/5** — Do nothing about bullying.: As a former student, they don’t care about the students mental health. they are far too obsessive over what girls can and can’t wear, when they should be caring more about how many kids have left because of bullying. The teachers are insensitive to the students needs and wishes, plus for three years i had supply teacher after supply teacher and barely had any idea what to do. Overall, it is not a recommended place to go. *(Jul 2021)*
