## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Lord Grey is much better than Denbigh: The best school in MK is 1) Lord Grey academy 2) Denby Academy, 3) St.Pauls high school 4) Oakgrove school 5) Shenley Brrokend high school. Lord grey is best if you want academic excellence. Unfortunately denby is getting less popular now. *(May 2025)*
- **1/5** — I am very unhappy: am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding an incident in which my phone was taken, and its contents were searched by school staff. I believe this action was unjustified and potentially in violation of my rights under UK law and school policy. At no point was I given a clear reason that justified this invasion of my privacy. Concerns & Violations Lack of Justification – UK government guidelines state that school staff can only search a student's phone if they have reasonable grounds to s… *(Mar 2025)*
- **2/5** — Denbigh: Bad teachers and bad consequence techniques . lack of school trips . Lack of school supplies *(May 2023)*
- **2/5** — Denbigh being bad: Most teachers are the worst at teaching hindering our chance of passing GCSEs and A-Levels. Teachers are also very stupid as they and blind and death when it comes to bullying as they happen to "never" see it, even right Infront of them. *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — Forces students to not like people they don’t like: Very woke school, I don’t like it how my little brother is being forced to not like social media Influencer Andrew tate. I believe in free speech and free thinking. That right there is not free speech or free thinking. It’s brain washing. If he likes someone let him like him, it’s not the schools choice. My brother is his own person not the school’s property. *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with great facilities!: We've been at Denbigh for 3 years now and I'm constantly impressed by the facilities, staff and values. My child is thriving and the Eco-Textile Dye Garden Club is a highlight of their year. *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — SMELLLYYY: I dont go to school here *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — Decent, But Had Some Issues: The Performing Arts department is incredible there! I highly recommend if you want to do music, drama or music technology definitely, you get access to lots of equipment and the teachers there are always so lovely :) I did have some issues regarding how bullying was handled. I also experienced a traumatic event outside of school, which greatly affected my mental health and studies. They gave me access to organisations to help support me, however struggled to be empathetic and accommodating when … *(Apr 2022)*
- **4/5** — wowcha!: wow, can i just say WOW, i love teaching here although the students can be cruel. such a lush environment and i love the gorg english teacher, you know who you are ;) *(Feb 2022)*
- **2/5** — I don't know. A review: It's been very rough. Teachers are all over the place. They either care or reslly don't *(Dec 2021)*
