"Bad behaved Students and Racism among staff"

Bad and racism. The students are badly behaved and the staff are not coordinated, they are racist and not accommodating. The receptionist(the black guy) is even worst, he’s full of discrimination and bias at the same time. Offsted needs to do something about that school.

"Goffs "

It’s an alright school but the food provided is overpriced, and the amount of education we receive is quite low with disruptive classes.

"worst school I’ve attended "

Do not send your child here! Honestly Goffs Academy is the worst school I’ve attended in my whole life the pupils are so rude and the teachers don’t know how to handle them, mental health, sexism, racism and homophobia are not handled properly in the slightest and when you do attend Place2Be the councillor tells your parents immediately, and gives the child no protection with their own mental health struggles, they put school work and pe over everything, it’s so mentally draining everyday to attend this school because their just teaching us to death.

"A mixed experience so far"

While our child is enjoying some aspects of school life, we've had some concerns about the class sizes and the availability of resources. We're hoping things will improve as we move through the year

"Worst school, please do not send your child here"

They put school work and PE before mental health of students. They do not properly handle bullying, homophobia, racism, or mental illness. I could go into detail on mine and others experiences going into this school, but here I’ll just say: I’ve never felt happier or more free now that I’ve left Goffs. Those were the worst years of my life and I wouldn’t wish it upon even my worst enemy.
