Heath Lane Academy

If i could rate this a 0, i would, but I can’t.
This school tries desperately to be a good and well disciplined school but it’s failing terribly. You guys, the staff, do realise adding constant new shitty rules doesn’t make it a better school… right??? If you even bothered to take the time of day to think about making the school better you’d might try to sort out the bullying issue. But evidently you are not ready for that conversation. You just want higher reviews to prove that your school is worth the time of day. Well, it’s not. If I have kids I would make sure they weren’t aloud 10 feet near this school.
You guys add new staff, add new rules and add new restrictions, and it will ONLY make more and more people want to leave and act up because of that. I would know, I am know people that try to get out this school. I am excited to leave this school myself and I pray everyday that you guys rather listen to your students for once or i leave before you ruin it.

Makes people want to kill them selfs my bladder hurts almost everyday because im not alloud to go toilet .The SPARX HOME WORK is awful i hope the founder of sparx dies i realy hate the school .It picks on students when its not evan them .this school is truely Bad,awful,unacceptable,poor,wrong and deficient

Lost all of my brain cells, got abused by a member of staff, and raped.

School is very bad you can't even go outside

Horrendous school, never send your kid there.
I went there from yr7 all way to yr11 and it was the worst years of my life.
The teachers are rude most times, they downplay whatever going through- such as feeling ill or your mental health is degrading.
They do nothing about bullying, you can fill out a form but that's about it- In fact, I was being harassed badly and the teachers only made it worse for me, they tell you to "just ignore it"
The toilets are shared gender, the only separate ones are always locked and everybody I knew hated it- Least I mention, you need a toilet pass to go during lesson which is a ball-ache.
People at reception are awful too, all they did was complain- In fact, I was trying to tell them I needed medication on me in case I was on the verge of fainting but all they did was say "but you need to keep it at reception"- They don't care if your ill at all.
Another thing is, your forced to line up before classes outside and then led to class- even during cold weather.
One last thing, they give detention for the stupidest of reasons- 2 minutes late? Detention. Homework a little late? Detention. I got a Detention once for "not paying attention".. I was brushing something off my blazer.
So yeah, awful school, does accommodate for anyone's needs and allows kids to be relentlessly bullied.
Never send your kid there, unless you want your kids mental health suffering just from how bad the school is.

teachers yell and you for no reason,and don’t care abt your mental health at all ,don’t recommend going to this school

I was at this school for months it was nice while it lasted until I got kicked out and not aloud back in when they kicked me out they just abandoned me didn't get I contacted or anything so shit honestly they still have my school bag which had my £100 perfume in it's ridiculous how they say they don't want there students to be sad but then just Chuck them out and don't give them a second chance when I know if I was aloud back into heath lane academy I whould put my head down and behave but they just called me a faliure and chucked me out it's absolutely disgusting the only thing like about this school is miss dorman and the tuna wraps and the cold warter the best water I've ever tried - corren sheffied

I'm so impressed with the values that Heath Lane Academy teaches our children - kindness, respect, and hard work. Our son has settled in beautifully and loves the Duke of Edinburgh program. The teachers are all very supportive and communication from the school is excellent.

We've been thoroughly impressed with Heath Lane Academy's commitment to providing a high-quality education. The curriculum is ambitious and the teachers are all experts in their subjects. The school also has excellent facilities, including a fantastic sports hall and swimming pool.

Once a teacher there slapped me, no teachers listened to my point of view on it. And they got away with it.
I never deserved to be slapped just because I never under stood my work I have adhd and learning difficulties. The school never understood those issues and give you detentions for every little thing I cant keep still on a chair due to my adhd. And got an detention each time. They never listen to your reasons on being 2 minutes late too school you get an detention. Their only solution to everything was detentions. Boys and girls share bathrooms which is open and no students feel comfortable with it. All teachers and rude and never listen. There is so much bullying only felt with by writing out a form the then get a detention which does nothing they just carry on bullying. My grades were bad as I had no proper help or QA for my adhd. So if you want an education and too not be bullied sont go here.
This school ruined my self confidence. And it's hard to concentrate with all the class clowns.

They may be strict but they truly want you to reach your highest potential within a year of going to heathlane I came out with some pretty good grades if not for the strictness and pushing me wouldnt have gotten there so I thank them for teaching me and being the best teachers I have hade

Hate it the teachers are nasty piece of work the make you do like 10 bits of homework per night and expects it due by the next day

We attended Heath Lane Academy for two years and had a generally good experience. The school's focus on character education and community service is really admirable. However, we did find the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit patchy at times, and the homework load could be more balanced.
