Aboyne Academy

If you are considering sending your child here wether you have moved house or are just changing schools please don't. I was at this school for 3 years and in those years I developed severe depression and anxiety. The teachers are useless they don't teach well and don't help when it comes to bullying. I was bullied the entire time I was there and if I tried to tell a teacher they put me into a stupid group before I left I was in at least 5 and missing alot of class time. The school seems to think that it's ok to bully kid because the bully could be going through something at home but even then that is not an excuse to bully. And if the bully is going through something at home the school should help (but they don't). while I was there I was threatened by pupils many time and I was terrifying to go to school every day because I thought they would go through with there threats. It is not a safe school for your child physical and mental health I would recommend enrolling them in a different school.

This is by far, the WORST secondary school in the whole of Scotland. No I am not exaggerating. Firstly the teachers are all biased, holding very clear favouritism towards certain pupils and basically holding their hand through all of the course work. Secondly all the pupils who behave well and get their heads down to do the work are all treated very poorly, yet the ones who muck about are treated like royalty! It is so not right! The school never take any action towards the frankly outrageous behaviour that takes place here, it's a disgusting environment. And don't even get me started on the guidance teachers! You'll never find people more inefficient at their jobs than these people! If you ever go to them with any concerns or worry about anything (this includes being mercilessly bullied) they promise that they will do everything they can to help you, but then EVERY SINGLE TIME, they brush it under the carpet and hope you'll eventually forget. In conclusion, Aboyne Academy is a run down school that needs a miracle from christ to save it. STAY AWAY if you want you child to have a good education and a bright future.

Teachers who care more about popularity among misbehaving pupils than they do about pupil safety and welfare. Well behaved, academic students are picked at for the tinniest thing whilst consistent trouble makers and bullies are seemingly rewarded. The entire "Senior Management Team" is frankly a disgrace.
