"Bullying needs to stop"

I can't even begin to describe how terrible this school is. My daughter has always struggled with bullying but this school has just taken it to another level. I just felt like I had to make everyone aware so you can protect your children. My daughters first encounter with bullying in this school was about 3 months in to year 7 when someone commented on her teeth. All the way through primary school she had always been made fun of because of her teeth and always tried to hide them. I always tried to tell her differently but she would just tell me I didn't understand and that her bullies were right. I would never name people but at this point my urge to is extremely strong right now. After my daughter had told me this I just had to inform the school because I really do hate bullies. When I first complained the school brushed it under the carpet and said they would deal with it within school time. At the time I didn't want to cause any trouble so I said that would be fine and hoped it would help resolve some issues between them. When my daughter came home I asked her I anyone had spoke to her she looked utterly confused so I asked if anyone spoke to the group of bullies as they were in the same class and she again looked confused and said no. I genuinely was mad. I didn't want the bullying to continue so the next morning before my daughter left for school I rang them up and asked why no one had spoken to them. Again they brushed it under the carpet and said everyone was extremely busy and someone would get round to them today. As I said before I didn't want to argue with anyone because this was only the first time they didn't sort it out so I trusted them and again said okay. My daughter then comes home crying saying they are now calling her names because of her acne. She had only recently developed acne and was very self-conscious about it. I was raging at this point I hated seeing my daughter like this so I again rang up the school. I said I know this is only the second time you haven't spoken to them or her but they have now started to pick on her because of other things. The school assured me someone had spoken to my daughter and her bullies and everything was resolved. I was confused as this is not what my daughter had told me and my daughter never lies. I then go ask my daughter why she lied because this was not like her at all. She told me she didn't lie and no one spoke to them. So I rang the school in the morning since they had closed after I spoke with my daughter last night I had told them about mine and my daughter conversation and how I was disappointed that they lied to me. They quickly assured me that no matter how busy they were they will speak to them today. I consciously agreed and said that it will be fine and told my daughter. When she came home I asked if they had spoken to her and if the issue was resolved. She said yes and told me to stop getting involved. I felt quite upset about that and that I was only trying to help. A few years later in year 9 my daughter comes home with tears down her face running up to her room. I go upstairs and ask what was going on. She then tells me the same group of people had started picking on her because of her weight. I thought this was all over since the conversation I had with her a couple years ago. She told me how bad it was getting and how it had been continuing for ages and no teacher ever actually spoke to them. She told me that someone had because they told her that they would beat her up if she continued to 'snitch' on them. Of course as a young naive 11 year old she kept quiet thinking that everything would be okay. I asked if it would be okay to ring the school and she agreed because she didn't want to deal with this anymore. The next day I told her I would keep her off until it had been resolved. I rang up the school explaining everything to them. I said I wasn't having it anymore. But the school only seemed to be bothered about her attendance. So after I had been told that I pulled her out of that school and moved her. She is so much happier now and doesn't struggle with bullying anymore.
Cleethorpes Academy please sort the behaviour of your students out. I don't want any other parent or child having to go through what we went through.

"Good school, some issues"

Overall, I'm happy with Cleethorpes Academy. However, I do think there could be more opportunities for extracurricular activities. My daughter enjoys the school and has made some great friends, but sometimes the communication from the school could be better.
