Corby Business Academy

This school is a disaster, and today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the truth behind the UNIT and its mistreatment, deception, and outright failures. Let’s set the course and break it all down.
First, the teachers. Even if a student doesn’t require special assistance, most teachers still speak to them in an overly simplified, condescending way, as if they're incapable of understanding complex literacy. This unnecessary dumbing-down not only stifles potential but also makes students feel underestimated and undervalued. Then there’s the management—constantly twisting the truth to suit their own narrative. A prime example? When students in the UNIT had their phones confiscated, management claimed the same rule applied to mainstream students. Yet, in reality, mainstream students were never subjected to the same restriction. A blatant lie, one among many.
When it comes to discipline, most teachers in the UNIT enforce strict, inflexible rules, leaving little room for understanding or fairness. Only a handful of them are actually kind and treat students with respect, creating an atmosphere where genuine support is rare. The classes themselves are mediocre at best—constantly disrupted by noisy, unruly students whom teachers struggle to control. The UNIT classrooms are filled with kids who either pride themselves on being disruptive troublemakers or feel like outcasts and rejects, isolated from any real sense of belonging. To make matters worse, certain teachers seem to go out of their way to single out specific students, harassing them or making them feel insignificant, like they don’t matter.
Socializing is another nightmare. Breaks and lunchtimes are deliberately split up, preventing students from spending time with their actual friends. And if someone wants to hug a relative or close friend as a form of comfort or connection? That’s considered unacceptable—even when it’s entirely consensual. It’s just another example of the rigid and inconsiderate rules forced upon students with no regard for genuine human interactions.
And let’s not forget the food. Meals served at lunchtime are either undercooked, leaving students with raw, unappetizing portions, or burned beyond recognition—never anything in between. There’s no standard, no care, no effort to provide quality or nutrition, just a sloppy excuse for a meal shoved onto students’ plates without a second thought.
All in all, this school fails on every level. From the teachers to the management, the learning environment to the basic rights of students, everything about it feels suffocating, restrictive, and unfair. Change is needed—desperately.

most the teachers are just ass and the management sucks, rules don't consider students at all if you try talk to a teacher or management they don't listen at all.

School is a total joke when it comes to safe guarding a child. Stick up for bullies. Teachers screaming in ur child's face! They think when they see a child laughing joking with their mates they cnt have anxiety. Bully loving school and teachers avoid with all cost

There is too much homophobia and transphobia in this school and on the buses. My child has countlessly come home in tears or just generally upset due to having slurs yelled at them or having items thrown at their head all for showing who they want to be. It needs fixed if anyone expects to be able to learn here. My child has told me before that even with teachers knowing and seeing what happens, nothing is done. This is unacceptable and unsafe for our children who just want to be themselves. And I know it isn't just my child.
