Ernulf Academy

Many good teachers left because they had enough of that school. SEN students and students struggling with mental health not getting enough help. Too much bullying and bad behaviour. Warnings, detentions and isolation for the most ridiculous things! And even some people who deserved them would somehow manage to get out of them.

Terrible school do not send you’re child here the staff members are disgusting towards students and continue to belittle and overpower the students I am disgusted how this horrendous school is still in business something serious needs to change certain staff members such as Nicolas shlising and other members of staff are in particular for this description of treatment the teachers need to be reported for their outrageous behaviour towards children. It is severely degrading for a young person to go through such a bad experience at such a young age as this can implement mental health problems and how they view themselves as people I believe the treatment and horrendous education is dangerous for such a young age overall this school has many and I mean many problems but this is just scratching the surface if this reaches any parent thinking about sending their child to the school I highly recommend you look another way I have been here for five years and I can say I am nothing but happy to say the least that I’m gone, this isn’t a school this is near enough a prison and for future students who decide to come here I feel terrible for you and I really do hope you manage to find a way out

This school is the worst school in the area my son got told he got told he had one detention and he dobbled

As a student a few years ago and siblings still go we all agree on the fact its a terrible school. its like a prison the teachers are mostly sexist and don't care about you or your time there other than the occasional good teacher.
I left my review here because the other year i left one on their actual review place and they took it down.

Someone poured vinegar in my hair and when we got the head teacher involved he said it was a friendship issue even though we weren’t friends.

There have been many incidents of bullying and conflict between students. the school gives no help. There's a mental health problem. they take it as a lack of effort. they take hardly any extra steps or accommodate learning for children who need to learn in a different way due to neurodivergence. they belittle and talk down to the students and run it like an army training facility. most of the teachers are unqualified and find it impossible to control a class or teach. avoid this school at all costs anyone saying they enjoy it here is one of the cruel children or a teacher. it isn't fun or engaging. it isn't safe. save your child and take them to longsand, it's not too far away and it's so much better than the hell that is Ernulf Academy.

I’m sorry but longsands is way way way worse

Avoid this school at all cost and place your child in a school out of the area as this school will badly fail your child. The behaviour policy is absolutely dreadful to the point the children can barely do anything without getting a sanction, they aren't allowed to go to the toilet in lesson time and if they ask staff embarrass the kids in front of all the class asking for reasons why they really need to go, so this has resorted to kids not drinking in the school day to avoid needing to go. SEN children get punished on a daily basis and thrown into reset without any reasonable adjustments to help and support them. These SEN children just can't be their real self as they have had the fear put into them that if they are they get in trouble. The teachers lack of knowledge on SEN is awful and drastically needs improving as these kids just get looked at as just naughty and problematic so they push them aside to struggle where learning is concerned. Mental health no support, bullying doesn't get delt with correctly. The list of problems with this school could just go on and on. I'm just seriously baffled as to how this school continues to remain with all its past bad Ofsted reports and just no improvements what so ever.

Badest school. They do not care about u they don’t let. Go to the toilet even if u are bursting can only go at break/lunch. Never care about ur mental health. The headteacher should get sacked.shitty school

We're so impressed with the facilities and programs at Ernulf Academy. Our daughter has really flourished in the supportive environment, especially with the emphasis on scholarship and tenacity. We appreciate the regular updates and open communication with teachers.

Ernulf has been a great fit for our family. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the values-based approach helps our child develop important life skills. We also appreciate the opportunities for parent involvement and fundraising.

Literally the worst school ever. Do not go here, Longsands would be much better. No support for mental health at all (they do not care). The naughty kids who do the bare minimum get rewarded while the kids who actually try and do not disrupt get nothing whatsoever. Absolute shit school.

alright school, teachers deal with the problem or worry first, then if it happenes again they forget about you and ignore it.
Strict on everything to be honest. but teachers are nice and do support you at times

Our daughter attended Ernulf from Year 7 to 11, and while we appreciated the school's emphasis on responsibility and respect, we sometimes felt that the curriculum could be more challenging. The facilities were good, but we wish there were more opportunities for extracurricular activities.
