"The school doesn't care about students "
The school genuinely doesn't give a shit about your mental health, it manages to degrade it more than help it. The teachers like to insert power and dominance over students rather than treat them like human being and teaching us, 50 percent of my teachers talked to me like I was a dog being trained and I reported it multiple times yet, nothing happened it was passed by as a non-important report. Recently found out one of the science teachers they hired was fired from a previous school under the suspicion and reports of pedophilia. That pretty much sums it all up.

"Wonderful School!"
We've been so impressed with Brompton Academy's REACH values and how they're instilled in the students. My child has flourished in the supportive environment and made lifelong friends. The careers programme is also fantastic, and I've seen a real difference in their confidence and aspirations. Highly recommend!

"Good School with Some Room for Improvement"
We had a positive experience at Brompton Academy, but there were some areas where we felt the school could improve. The REACH values were a great concept, but I felt that they weren't consistently enforced across all areas of the school. The careers programme was also useful, but could have been more focused on real-world skills. Overall, a good school that needs some fine-tuning.
