BBG Academy

This is a terrible school and I do not recommend the toilets are disgusting broken locks doors missing and don't get me started on there "pd system" they will take one friend groups side even if you did nothing and have proof this school needs to be re evalulated without them knowing so they can get caught out on this

Honestly thing school is shocking, I seriously wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. The rules are absolutely ridiculous and they’ve taken their power and used it to their full extent. They conatantly bring students down just to make themselves feel better. You genuinly see teachers smirking and be proud of themselves for making students cry? I’ve seen teachers making female students wipe their makeup off in the middle of a corridor or the middle of the “heart space” where many people can see you. I don’t know whether this is to just pure embarrass the student or not but it clearly works, and from the way teachers act there it wouldn’t surprise me if they did do for their own enjoyment. Students are told to express themselves and be themselves but when they do they’re screamed at and told to get rid of anything they’ve done for abit of individuality. If male students come in with hair that’s “too short” they’re placed in isolation until it grows back, seriously? Is that a joke? You are making a student who could be in lessons and actually learning sit in a box, stare at a wall and learn absolutely nothing, just because their hair is abit short.. weird. I also find it concerning how female or male students can’t have “un natural” hair colours. However, some teachers have bright red or pink hair. They say that it’s “not appropriate for a workplace” if hair is unnatural, yet they come with multicoloured hair. Students are also placed in isolation for forgetting a lanyard. A lanyard?? Some teachers need to take a look at themselves and think am i been dramatic or do they really deserve isolation for forgetting a lanyard. This school is absolutely ragged and needs shutting down because if you asked every single student still at that school they’re say the exact same. That school ruins people and brings out the worst in students. They don’t care. All they care about is wether your passing your maths and English at the end of it all.

I left this school a year ago. Academically, this school is amazing i passed all of my exams. However this came with a price. This school and every single teacher in it, does not care about anyone’s mental health. Don’t get me wrong, there’s an exception of maybe three specific teachers who managed to understand us, as students. However their job is to teach, not to clean up the mentally damaging mess the other teachers have made. The amount of friends I knew who came to me, saying the most terrifying things a friend could hear; because of that school. The teachers talk down on us all. They have no problem with throwing you in a box (isolation) for days on end. Even in exam season. I, am lucky, that I must be naturally smart. As I spent half of my time in isolation, And still passed. Others weren’t so lucky. My friends who cried every night because of how much effort they were putting in academically, only to be thrown into a box without a second thought, were not so lucky. I remember some days, I’d walk into school having panic attacks, because of what i was about to endure.Isolation consisted of multiple desks next to each other, With thick , tall wooden boards separating everyone. Seven hours facing a wall. You can’t slouch, You can’t put your head down. or you will be screamed at. You can’t stop writing, they come round every ten minutes and mark your paper, if you haven’t written enough, you get screamed at. You get shoved into that box for the stupidest reasons. Fighting? I agree, seperate them. Violence isn’t okay. But for five detentions within 5 weeks? You may be thinking, “yeah it’s bad, but it doesn’t happen often.” Yes. It does. If your child is not a pristine little angel who doesn’t open their mouth; who has no friends and no social life, they will not be happy there. It’s hard for me to put into perspective how strict and horrible it is. It’s something I wouldn’t put my worst enemy through. The way the teachers speak to you… like muck. Like dirt with no feelings. Mental health with young people is important. This school; doesn’t care. all they care about are the grades and the rules. They had me in isolation for a week straight before the day of my first exam; luckily i passed by a few marks. But imagine how well i would of done if i was in those lessons. They can promote recycling, but they somehow manage to fail at treating us like human. Every relationship you make, can be ruined in a second. They have the upper hand; they have the power, and they remind you of it every opportunity they get. Those people in that school, are nowhere close to human.

As a student they have no support for the students all they care about is you getting good grades and they always say "treat us with respect and we will treat you with respect " even if you treat them respect you never get it back

BBG Academy is just absolutely amazing. All the teachers take care of you, they are such good teachers, and they always make sure that every student is feeling ok and if they need any help! The food is also really amazing. Always healthy and safe. I really do recommend this school, you won’t regret it.
