Like being in Strangeways Prison!
The new strict rules and punishments are getting absolutely preposterous. Keeping kids in a room for 6 hours is absurd! How does that benefit them? If anything it makes them worse! And don’t get me started on the bathrooms, constantly reek of vape and urine. Utterly grotesque slop emporium of a school. The teachers are bone idle and leave the TAs and supply teachers to take their classes but it gives me a chance for me and my friends to have a laugh and mess around. They are cheeky because they think they have the audacity to go on strike every week or two. I don’t know what this worlds coming to!
Disgraceful school, with very few good teachers.
Absolute shocker of a school, they’ll sit back and do nothing about bullying but when it comes to something as small as forgetting a pen they put kids on report. They treat the children with sen needs like criminals, they don’t listen to the kids, they’d rather put the fear of god into them then when the parents get to the bottom of whatever’s happened they cover each other’s backs. The only thing they care about is how the school looks to ofsted. If your child has a care plan they don’t even bother to read it, and if your child has an EHCP it won’t be spent on support for your child neither.
AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely appalling; everything about this school is disgraceful, disappointing and depressing. The safeguarding staff and heads of years show a lack of sympathy and concern for the pupils worries, issues and needs yet claim to be all about supporting mental health and clearly they care more about uniform policies than actual education and wellbeing. Additionally, the school lacks a welcoming environment and many students feel anxious, scared, overwhelmed and hostile due to issues staff could easily fix if they actually bothered to deal with it. This school needs a lot of work and definitely a new, more useful headteacher who will actually get issues resolved instead of ignoring them.
Top Notch. Working with together.
Been Dealing with Walkden Academy for a few years regarding our Grandchild. Experience with all staff has been Top Notch. Cannot Fault the School. And more than anything have helped us . They never stop in trying to get grandchild to achieve her best, done with kind words and coaxing. And firmness where required , with upmost respect to grandchild and us. Nothing bug praise for all staff members. Impressed by their devotion to there job. Not a easy job in this day and age. Credit to Walkden Academy and Staff.👏🤝

Rubbish experience at coop academy Walkden
I don’t like this school at all I can never speak to a teacher when I need to and also my friends daughter got threatened by a boy who said he will slice her throat and they didn’t exclude all because he has ADHD well that isn’t good enough overall send your kids to a better school
