I’m appalled at the way the staff have dealt with my needs (awaiting a autism diagnosis) however I have a EHCP and the school are aware of my mixed anxiety, I dropped out in year 9 due to this but the school tried to support me in many ways however I wanted to complete school no matter how hard it would’ve been for me I needed to know that in my head I had finished. The staff at Q3 Langley don’t care about students needs or how they feel they c… *(Jul 2025)* - **1/5** — it’s horrible: If you care for your child do not send them this school it’s horrible probably the worst experience any year 7 should go through do not go here *(Jun 2025)* - **5/5** — Wonderful school!: Terrific school! Amazing food and excellent teachers! *(Jun 2025)* - **3/5** — Q3 academy review: Pretty good school ( Q3 langley ) food Is bad and we barely get food but nice teachers. *(May 2025)* - **1/5** — this is my opinion about Q3 LANGLEY 🩷: I HATE THIS SCHOOL SO MUCH WE HAVE INDEPENDENT LEARNING TESTS EVERY SINGLE DAY EXCEPT FOR 2 DAYS AND IT GETS EVERYONE STRESSED AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE HORRIBLE DISGUSTING FOOD THAT THEY MAKE US EAT SOMETIMES I EVEN QUESTION IF ITS EDIBLE. ALSO MOST OF THE RULES ARE USELESS LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM GONNA GET A 15 MINUTE DETENTION FOR NOT RAISING MY HAND HIGH ENOUGH?!!??!! ALSO THE REMINDERS ON FACEBOOK ABOUT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER THE HOLIDAYS ARE SO SAD LIKE YOU NEED TO CALM THE … *(Feb 2025)* - **1/5** — If you hate your children this is the school for you: Boy do I wish I found this page back in January last year! This school is honestly an awful establishment. My son has been threatened with being stabbed and he has been accosted in the playground by groups. When he has defended himself he has been thrown to other schools to deal with. I have tried to resolve the bullying issue, but the school’s response has been to harshly punish my son for even the most ridiculous of reasons including not finding his glue stick fast enough while doing nothing a… *(Nov 2024)* - **5/5** — Excellent: Excellent school and brilliant staff *(Nov 2024)* - **1/5** — Absolutely appauling! Worst years of my life!: Absolutely appauling school. Head teacher is obsessed with being 'top of the pyramid', and cares more about how the school looks than the students that attend it. Attendance overall is good, but only because the Attendance team Harrass students - they won't accept any reason for being away from school except if hospital trip is needed or they have the corona virus, they show up to student's houses to make sure that they can't be in school and often forced students to go into school, despite bein… *(Oct 2024)* - **5/5** — Best school you could go to: Q3 is such a good school the staff are so nice and helpful and the school teaches you a lot of lessons. The kids that go there usually go far in life and succeed.The school is strict but discipline you in the best way possible to study hard. I really recommend the school a lot *(Oct 2024)* ## Other schools in Oldbury - [Oldbury Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/oldbury/oldbury-academy-13201) — 2.0/5 (13 reviews) - [Tividale Community Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/oldbury/tividale-community-primary-school-11053) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Bristnall Hall Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/oldbury/bristnall-hall-academy-14280) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) - [St James CofE Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/oldbury/st-james-cofe-primary-school-10818) — 4.8/5 (3 reviews) - [The Meadows School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/oldbury/the-meadows-school-10984) — 4.7/5 (3 reviews) - [Rounds Green Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/oldbury/rounds-green-primary-school-18836) — 4.7/5 (3 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
