Some are genuinely snarky but a few are quite nice, I feel bad for them honestly. Also the kids here are just so mean for no reason at all, like if you don't fit in their standard you'll be outcasted for the rest of your school years. Definitely not a safe place for people of the LGBT community either, as I was almosted outed by an ex-friend recently. Also its pretty obvious that some … *(Feb 2023)* - **1/5** — horrible school: They do nothing about bullying and is the worst school ever *(Nov 2022)* - **1/5** — Bad school: School is a joke, don’t do enough to safe guard kids at all, and they don’t address any bullying either, they over look bullying in so many ways!!!!! *(Sep 2022)* - **2/5** — hetton school (academy): this school is very focused on pe, like they do a lot of sports.

Never want to go back ever.: I haven’t been to that school for over two years and a group of their students came up to me in uniform and punched me in the face and rammed me with their bikes for looking not like them, they also called me extremely disgusting names as well. Whilst being in the school, I was constantly harassed, had water poured on me, been hit by other students and even had death threats thrown at me. The teachers did almost nothing, and overall an extremely poor experience. *(Jan 2022)* - **2/5** — Bad school: Not a good school not good *(Apr 2021)* - **1/5** — I hate Hetton School: I have hated every second of being at this school *(Feb 2021)* ## Other schools in Houghton le Spring - [Kepier](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/houghton-le-spring/kepier-12852) — 1.2/5 (15 reviews) - [Eppleton Academy Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/houghton-le-spring/eppleton-academy-primary-school-13609) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Gillas Lane Primary Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/houghton-le-spring/gillas-lane-primary-academy-17932) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) - [Newbottle Primary Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/houghton-le-spring/newbottle-primary-academy-15526) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) - [Hetton Lyons Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/houghton-le-spring/hetton-lyons-primary-school-18488) — 4.6/5 (4 reviews) - [Dubmire Primary](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/houghton-le-spring/dubmire-primary-17961) — 4.7/5 (3 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
