## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Great people: Great teachers who really care. *(Apr 2025)*
- **1/5** — No no just nope: glad I’ve left most draining place to be wouldn’t even dream of going back awful school. Only care about attendance & uniform not your mental health. Got trauma off the place fr *(Jun 2024)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding School: We couldn't be happier with Southmoor Academy. The school's ethos and values are outstanding, and the staff are always supportive. Our child is thriving in the Combined Cadet Force program. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fabulous school!: Big, fat wow to all the faculty who works/worked at this school! I attended this school almost 6 years ago and my niece is heading into this school in September 2022 and I can not wait for her to get this education. The grades I got from my teachers and the effort which they put into my education and others is above and beyond. Never had a problem with bullying either and even if the school encounter a tough spot it was always picked up swiftly. I can not wait to send my future children to this … *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Facilities and Values: We are really pleased with Southmoor Academy. The facilities are excellent, and the values align with our own. Our child loves the Aspire program and the support from teachers is great. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Great Aspects, but Room for Improvement: We had a good experience at Southmoor Academy, but there were some issues with the Pastoral System. The school has made some great improvements in recent years, and we appreciate the support for students with SEND. *(Jun 2021)*
- **1/5** — please don’t go here: i’ve been in this school since year 7, first of all i was heavily bullied in year 7 and they seemed to be on the ball. but this is the problem, the school care so much about the year 7s that they start to neglect their, more important, elder years. However, in year 8 a teacher started bullying me for my maths skills and i was picked on every lesson by the teacher and it started to upset me so my mam rang the school, they said they would look into it.. absolutely nothing came from it. she rang ag… *(May 2021)*
- **4/5** — Amazingggggg: From being a student at this school it’s amazing! Staff and Teachers are lovely and always happy to support the students with open arms :) *(Mar 2021)*
- **1/5** — No ❤️: Most of the staff are rude and don’t consider the students struggling with mental heath or family issues or bullying and only think for themselves. If a student shows signs of COVID they’ll send them back into the class to potentially infect more pupils, And most of the time we have to clean even though we have cleaners that are paid to clean. As we went back to school after the first lockdown they prices of food went up like there wasn’t a strain of money the smallest increase being £1. *(Dec 2020)*
- **2/5** — Not good: There is no social distancing measures in place and staff just send pupils with coronavirus symptoms back into their lesson. Problems with bullying are never sorted and the food quality is very poor despite the school very recently changing the food system and prices increasing by a large amount. Portion sizes are mostly tiny. For example, you may get 3 chicken strips and some chips for £3 *(Dec 2020)*
