## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Terrible experience: The school honestly doesn't give one about you. You report stuff? They'll maybe address it once but never do much or even anything at all. Majority of my worst life events are caused by this place and I wish it on no one. The only way you could even have a decent experience here is if you're quite popular among other students and teachers, if you weren't like me, you're having a horrible time and trying everything you can to hopefully skip school even for one day. Very rarely you have nice teach… *(Aug 2025)*
- **1/5** — Kingswood is a nightmare: Teachers are so degrading, they bring us down for things that aren't our fault and they care about uniforms more than the education *(Aug 2023)*
- **2/5** — Degrading teachers: Teachers degrade students constantly for things that they can’t control. For example we get screamed at for having a break down and wanting some comfort when its there fault this happened in the beginning. Do not bring your kids here trust me *(Aug 2023)*
- **2/5** — Teachers 🤢🤢: The teachers spend more time worrying if you have a blazer on the second you walk in to door than actually teaching us things. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Academy with Great Facilities: We've been very impressed with Kingswood Secondary Academy so far. The facilities are top-notch, and our child loves the music and sports clubs. The teachers are friendly and supportive, and we feel confident that our child is in good hands. *(Sep 2022)*

- **4/5** — Some Strengths but Room for Improvement: We had a mixed experience at Kingswood Secondary Academy, with some excellent teachers and facilities. However, we felt that the school's communication with parents could be better, and there were some inconsistencies in the curriculum. *(Jun 2021)*
- **4/5** — Clarissa: It is really good but there are some bad parts to the school *(Jan 2021)*
