Year 11

GCSE candidate not getting support from school

My sick son is at home study, whole school stuff knows that, but nobody cares for his study. Every time I ask for help, like school home work or mock test papers . they dropped some mock test papers after requesting so many times but they don't bother to collect. He is GCSE exam student. I am really worried about his future development.
Some body should investigate about the duty of school stuff. They are not taking their duties seriously. Please check into this and help us to built his future.

Coop Academy Leeds the shit school

worst school ever, they put my friend in handcuffs because he didnt want to go to the isolation room and that fucking assistant principle sam moncaster is the worst one from there i hope he gets fired and that school needs to upgrade its staff team they are all naive, have no common sense and also they dont care about your education they only want the money which is why that school should be shut down. I do not reccomend to any parent/kid, they act nice at first but after a few weeks they catch a attitude and question you about the most useless shit ever, they take you not having a tie or school shoes way more serious than your education, they give you cold sandwiches for 1 quid and 50 pence and a panini with shit old pizza sauce in it for 2 quid and 80 pence, they aso have shit staff and rules my friend got in trouble for not walking out of the gcse room "properly" stupid people should never be teachers, i saw them laughing about a kids education. Also it has outdated education it teaches the most useless shit ever like what is bronze age gonna give me in the future and the war between nazis? shit fucking school do not join it kids your just helping them with money. Also theres this bald wannabe "officer" i believe he is a fake one because he is just as naive and retarded like the others he follows you out of school and sees if your going through a gate thats "private property" and says you cant go home through there like its not a path that leads kids home and adults home from work, coop academy leeds is the worst school with the shittiest retarded childish rules. please dont apply to it, thank you.

Horrible school

The worst school I have seen
No respect
No actions applied when a problem happened .
Lots of mistakes during detentions.
All the time detentions without real reasons so no education
Racism from staff, they induce children to hate and the schools didn’t deal with this seriously and do nothing.
But Of course will mention specific names to the people who are in charge.

I totally don’t recommend this school to anyone

Horrible

Unbearable no care in the world teachers favourite bad students and let other kids get bullied and lie to parents that issues will be looked into but they never do

Utterly unbearable

Where Do we even start?

1-Teachers

Two Types of behaviour are found when it comes to teachers: those who are too naive and over-forgiving to students requiring more discipline. This may sound good to some but if you have a problem, good luck having it solved, as they'll never get round to solving it. If they do, you probably had to get your parent asking aswell. As for classroom work, you'll either be given work to do and get on with it, no input whatsoever OR the class will be left to its own devices for the hour-long lesson

The second is rare, as many teachers of this behaviour move on to much better establishments (no surprise there), but there are the occasional good teachers, usually of a more mature age who make good effort to get problems sorted such as bullying or theft. In lessons, these teachers help with work efficently and show students how to do the work set with information that doesn't provide an easy answer to keep the child informed while still having to put in effort. WARNING: Teachers like this have especially dwindled in the past few years.

2-The Building and Furniture

The structure is relatively modern, looking no more than 2 decades old. On the interior however, classrooms will be found with chewing gum on the bottom of tables (never place your hands underneath one!), carpets that are stained and coated in crumbs and stationary as well as equipment older than the building. Provided equipment NOT expected of the student to bring can be found as non functional(calculators, chromebooks/ PCs and tablets)and 50/50 chance/ semi usable (all of the above, as well as highlighters and board markers never including much ink).
These issues lead to a lack of equipment for students and large groups sharing equipment for the purpose of making sure students have the supplies to be educated

3-Food

Food can be really bad(cooked meals normally expected of any school) or mediocre (basic on-the-go food like paninis, singular slices of plain cheese and tomato pizza and pasta pots, as well as desserts such as brownies, cookies). This isn't inflicted by taste, but quality of food. Not to even mention this is if you can get this food. Other students are likely to skip the queue and push through, and with teachers letting students leave later than expected, it can leave you with little to no time to eat or even get to the end of the queue. This has been getting increasingly worse recently to the extent that I have effectively been forced to eat packed lunch. Even so, you must queue to get into the canteen, making me eat outside a large portion of the time.

4- Students

Students are probably the worst factor of the Academy. Rude, disobedient, unbearable and even stupid.
They regularly break school rules and even commit real-world crimes.
The Bathrooms stink of drugs, students urinate and deficate on the walls and floor and even commit sexual acts in the bathrooms.
Some students are regularly found breaking small items like equipment but it can be as large scale as doors and windows.
Teachers are threatened alot to the extent where police are involved many a time.
Fire alarms are set off regularly, increasingly in recent months, making you stand outside in all kinds of weather all the time.

I hope this helps anyone who needs an unbiased opinion

For those asking what my greatest time in this school was, it was getting to change to another one.

Bad school

Teachers are awful with students and don't understand the needs they need or mental health issues
