## Recent parent reviews

- **2/5** — My personal experience: Absolutely awful would not recommend taking your child to this school if they are suffering from mental health issues as the head of pastoral at this school, and many other members of staff here don't make you feel very welcome or even entertain the idea of making you feel welcome if you are at this school. *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — Worst school Eva: Worst school Eva!!!! *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — Living hell: They don't care about your mental health, the teachers don't care about your wellbeing, when its boiling outside and you need a drink they say you should've had one at break or lunch, they don't make it enjoyable. *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — fascist manipulation: terrible, the ammount of drug use and vaporizer use there are is completely and utterly ludicrous. get your school under control this minute as we are sick of facing the injust hypocrisy of this communist based school *(Jun 2023)*
- **3/5** — Whythisschoolhas3oitof5stars: Very good school i highly recommend it they help out with ur work and get u higher and was able to pass but on the other hand the bully in the school is bad the teachers dont do anything about it and when i went there there was only like 3 teachers outside watching all the students and there is over 600+ stidents who go there so if you dont want my child getting into fights or anything i dont recommend this school *(Apr 2023)*
- **4/5** — My Review: The school is very good, the teachers are very kind and will always try to help you and are honest with you, the food is very nice (in my opinion, as a very picky eater) there are lots of after school clubs for people to do and whenever there's people causing trouble it's normally dealt with straight away, there's teachers always out at break and lunch and you can always go up and ask for help from one. The work is good and it doesn't push you so far that you're struggling and going further behi… *(Apr 2023)*
- **1/5** — Don't care about the students: School shoves so much information into your brain and expects you to remember it all. It also favours the quick writers if you're slow at writing then theres no point writing anything because when kid finishes the teacher moves onto the next slide *(Jan 2023)*
- **1/5** — Terrible School: The worst school you could possibly go to *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding School with Excellent Values: We're absolutely thrilled with the Harton Academy's approach to education. The school's values of hard work, respect, and kindness have really rubbed off on our child, and they've become a more confident and responsible person as a result. We love the sense of community at the school and feel that the staff are all committed to helping our child succeed. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience!: We've been thoroughly impressed with the Harton Academy's facilities and the supportive staff. Our child has made incredible progress in their subjects, especially with the guidance of the dedicated teachers. We can't speak highly enough of the school's values and the way they've helped our child develop into a confident individual. *(Sep 2022)*
