The teachers don’t care about the students mental health one bit. I know people who have been uncomfortable around specific teachers that have made comments about their body’s and appearance. I have had manny anxiety and panic attacks in this school and teachers will do nothing to help. My confidence went down so much and my anxiety got so much worse that I made the … *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — im a student and this school is horrendous: this is the worst school i’ve ever been to. the school does not care about students wellbeing at all even though there are posters about it everywhere. teachers told me i was being dramatic when i said the school makes me miserable. most off the staff here aren’t nice and frequently shout. bps spend more time guarding the harrington toilets than actually helping kids here. the students here aren’t nice at all and the teachers here don’t care in the slightest. a lot of people i know have been/ st… *(Apr 2023)* - **1/5** — The king alfred: This school is honestly a massive joke. You are taught there is only one right answer and the fact that you are not aloud to defend urself when it comes to “the teacher is always right” the teachers are aloud to wear whatever they want to keep warm but students are only aloud a thin jumper to keep them warm. They care more about their own well-being then the students that are there. My daughter has told me that she has reported someone being racist towards her and they have done nothing about it… *(Dec 2022)* - **5/5** — Excellent school with caring staff: My daughter joined TKASA in Year 7 and has thrived academically and socially. The school's values of respect, tolerance, and courtesy are truly evident in the way the staff and students treat each other. We're particularly impressed with the extracurricular programs on offer, including the Duke of Edinburgh Award and the Young Carers group. *(Sep 2022)* - **4/5** — Some great aspects, but room for improvement: We're pleased with the academic standards at TKASA and the teachers seem knowledgeable and enthusiastic. However, we've had some issues with communication from the school and it can feel a bit impersonal at times. The facilities are great, especially the sports facilities, but we wish there were more opportunities for parents to get involved in school life. *(Mar 2022)* - **1/5** — absolutely horrendous: don’t send your kids here, especially if they are struggling mentally or are a person of colour. if your child has issues regarding mental health, the school will send them to the one teacher they have for that and all she really does is make you feel guilty. theres also a huge amount of bullying when it comes to race. my family is south asian (pakistani) and there were many racist remarks and jokes made by students and the teachers could hear them all and did nothing. in year 8, the students ar… *(May 2021)* - **1/5** — Absolutely dreadful school.: Dreadful.Only care about uniform and exam results. *(Apr 2021)* - **1/5** — Awful do not send kids here: Terrible school-they only care about the uniform and their image a student was being stalked and all they cared about was how bad it made them look. *(Mar 2021)* - **5/5** — A place where my child grew into a confident individual: My son attended TKASA from Year 7 to 11 and it was an incredible experience for him. The school's emphasis on pastoral care and well-being really supported him during some challenging times. I'm so grateful for the opportunities he had to develop his interests and talents, and I think he's become a more confident and capable person because of it. *(Jul 2020)* ## Other schools in Highbridge - [Sedgemoor Manor School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/highbridge/sedgemoor-manor-school-9639) — 4.3/5 (4 reviews) - [Mark First and Pre-School CE Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/highbridge/mark-first-and-pre-school-ce-academy-17787) — 4.8/5 (3 reviews) - [West Huntspill Primary Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/highbridge/west-huntspill-primary-academy-21867) — 4.7/5 (3 reviews) - [Churchfield Church School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/highbridge/churchfield-church-school-14457) — 4.7/5 (3 reviews) - [East Brent Church of England First School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/highbridge/east-brent-church-of-england-first-school-17786) — 4.6/5 (3 reviews) - [East Huntspill Primary Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/highbridge/east-huntspill-primary-academy-21446) — 4.6/5 (3 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
