## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — 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. *(Apr 2025)*
- **3/5** — 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. *(Jun 2023)*
- **2/5** — Review of a year 11 during their GCSEs: It was alright and I’m in my GCSEs at the moment but it was been very boring and bad *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — 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 att… *(Feb 2023)*
- **3/5** — 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 *(Nov 2022)*
- **1/5** — 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. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional school experience: My child is loving her time at Gorsley Goffs Primary School. The teachers are supportive, and the facilities are excellent. We particularly enjoy the regular newsletters and the emphasis on 'Flourishing Together' *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — Good potential: Very good facilities but ran poorly. *(Oct 2021)*
- **5/5** — Goffs academy review: Goffs academy is an amazing school that offer multiple extra curricular activities to help children make new friends and find new hobbies, create memories, and do exceptional in their exams. The teachers are always there to offer a helping hand, and are always around for the children to address any worries or concerns *(Feb 2021)*
- **4/5** — A great foundation for our child: Our child spent 3 happy years at Gorsley Goffs, and we're grateful for the strong foundation they received. The school's 'Flourishing Together' ethos really resonates with us, and we appreciate the support we received from the teachers *(Feb 2021)*
