Bad school

Worst school. If you ask every student they will have something negative to say about that place, however my main issue is how strict they are when it comes to what you can and can’t do. For example, if you want to wear any more than one earlobe piercing, too bad, you can’t. You can’t paint your nails. For pe if you can wear leggings but with shorts over them. I got my hair highlighted and they gave me a straight isolation. For what? Having a bit of blonde in my hair?
Honestly, the rules are ridiculous and the students act like they’re 5 years old.

BAD SCHOOL BRUNTCLIFFE

I have had 4 children attend this school over a period of 15 years and it has not changed at all
My eldest son who had learning difficulties spent all his school life in exclusion and playing monopoly
My Daughter lasted about a month before being perminantly excluded ... she had adhd
My next son failed at most of his exams he tried hard but got no help
My next son was kicked out of the school after having a fight with another student and passed on to another school within the academy ... it was a serious assault and was accepted by all and my son was full of remorse
Sending a child to a BETTER school FURTHER away with the SAME headteacher is not right at all
The school has too many silly rules silly punishments and policies for kids and parents to handle and do not provide adequate support for kids with difficulties and swapping headteachers and staff around when visitors go is a sly trick to make the school look good
The school does nothing to ensure safety of kids on school busses everyday day kids fight throw things and damage the busses
The school fails to disclose when they mess up ... my son went to school as normal and failed to come home on time hours went by no word on my son we searched phoned round and involved the police ... my son did turn up ... the staff took him on a school trip that we were told he was not allowed to go on because of his behaviour and did not have our consent

rip my fish

hello i would like start with how appalled i am because the other day i was waking my pet fish next to this school and as soon as it sniffed the air is flew into to tree and said it saw the lorax i’ve never seen my fish ever again may it lay in heaven with the lorax You don't know me
But my name's Cy
I'm just the O'Hare delivery guy
But it seems like trees might be worth a try
So I say let it grow
My name is Dan
And my name's Rose
Our son Wesley kind of glows
And that's not good, so we suppose
We should let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
You can't reap what you don't sow
Plant a seed inside the earth
Just one way to know its worth
Let's celebrate the world's rebirth
We say let it grow
My name's Marie
And I am three
I would really like to see a tree
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-li
I say let it grow
I'm Grammy Norma
I'm old, and I've got gray hair
But I remember when trees were everywhere
And no one had to pay for air
So I say let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Like it did so long ago
It's just one tiny seed
But it's all we really need
It's time to change the life we lead
Time to let it grow
My name's O'Hare
I'm one of you
I live here in Thneedville too
The things you say just might be true
It could be time to start anew
And maybe change my point of view
Nah
I say let it die
Let it die
Let it die
Let it shrivel up and
Come on
Who's with me, huh?
Nobody
You greedy dirtbag
Let it shine, let it grow
Let the love inside you show
Plant a seed inside the earth
Just one way to know its worth
Let's celebrate the world's rebirth
We say let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
You can't reap what you don't sow
It's just one tiny seed
But it's all we really need
It's time to banish all your greed
Imagine Thneedville flowered and treed
Let this be our solemn creed
We say let it grow (in Thneedville)
We say let it grow (It's a brand-new dawn)
We say let it grow (in Thneedville)
We say let it grow
It's a brand-new dawn

This school is a prison camp, My advise is find another school.

Do not put your happy children into this so called school. It is run like a business, yet if it was mine I would sack most. Totally disgusted! I cannot write anymore as this site will only let you write so much..tells u something

my experiences at bruntcliffe academy.

When i attended the school, it was questionable. It was not the worst school ever but it was not the best. Me as a student who did suffer with mental health i never got any support from the inclusion office or from any teachers in general. Even when i asked to arrange an appointment with the inclusion team they would ignore me and not help me. For the school to improve further i believe that bruntcliffe academy should put more effort into the students and their mental health because ignoring the people who need help is not going to make anything any better. I now suffer from PTSD from this school Mr.W.... smile still haunts me to this day.

Stupid

I guess brunni is alright the teachers are to strict one time my friend was on her period and she talked to the teacher outside to explain she needed the toilet the female teacher told her to hold it for 5 minutes??? You can't hold a period another example is when my new puppy was in her chew everything stage she chewed my school shoes but I only found out when I was setting off so I wore some old ones they had abit of white on but I wore them for afew weeks the year before so I thought it would be alright. It wasn't I almost got put in isolation for them.FOR SHOES I don't understand how what shoes I wear affect mine or anyone else's learning they phoned my mum explaining what happened and my mum shouted at them that's the only reason they didn't put me in isolation overall they are to strict and not understand at all

Student in year 10

Lovely school.

Actually quite a good school I made life long friends and a couple of teachers genuinely have been really supportive and will definitely miss them when I leave. Extra curricular is my favourite thing it's amazing I love it. However only 4 stars coz I just wish school would use more gender inclusive language it's really annoying when me and my lgbtqia+ friends feel excluded coz a teacher called us "girls and boys" instead of just "people" I think it's a very simple thing to do and just yk a core value is inclusivity, yet some teachers say stuff like that. Ye anyway good school I like it.

Good school

I love this school honestly. The teachers have been great help and the lesson plans are awesome. I am a year 10 student and will admit that I will be sad to leave. For example, one of the teachers here has helped with a lot more than just the learning, they have taught me a lot about life and is great to talk to when feeling down or stressed. One thing I dislike about the school is the use of language they use when addressing us as students. If they could use more gender inclusive terms such as "people" instead of "boys and/or girls" I am positive that more non binary students will feel included as one of the core values after all, is inclusivity.

Dangerous

The Students are constantly being jumped outside the school some even being stabbed, there's constant harrasment of LGBTQ+ students and there's a clear hierarchy of students with the bottom of the hierarchy being abused by the popular end of the hierarchy. Teachers abuse students with some students needing support and counciling for the abuse, over the experience is torturous and painful
