## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Moonshine: The homework is way too hard and can't go your Blake or Lodge and you can't go to the toilet *(Aug 2023)*
- **1/5** — 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 … *(Jun 2023)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding School!: Brompton Academy has exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff are caring, dedicated and passionate about their students' success. The facilities are also top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment and a beautiful iPad scheme. We feel so lucky to have our child at this fantastic school. *(Feb 2023)*
- **3/5** — School is eh: Shit at handling bullying but other than that Eh *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — 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! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — 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. *(Jun 2022)*
- **2/5** — I hate it: It’s so horrible. The teachers are really strict *(Apr 2022)*
- **3/5** — Communication: The school is OK but the communication if you need to get in touch with a teacher or speaking to someone the communication isn't very good *(Apr 2022)*
- **5/5** — Best school: Really good school amazing work places eg science labs and a massive sport hall Help with any problems Would recommend to any one *(Jan 2021)*
