Cowes Enterprise College, An Ormiston Academy

Really good school, some good teachers and lots to do. Lessons were very engaging too.

Teacher took my child’s phone away for a year and a half isn’t that illegal becuase I paid for the phone?

CEC
The actual education is great….however the environment at school is terrible. For starters we have to wear blazers in 30+ degrees so we end up boiling then we drink more water cuz of the heat and can’t go to the toilet. Once I was in computing and I’d finished all my work it was hot so I obviously drank more than normal ..I desperately needed the toilet so I asked multiple times only to be told that “ I’m not a baby” by the teacher
In the end I confronted them and said “ what do u want me to do ?” Then walked out to the toilet and received an on cal, detention and was screamed at by staff.


For any person that’s unique and not a complete zombie sheep lol I’d suggest not going to this school they pretend to celebrate uniqueness but really they want everyone the same.
This school trains us to be a slave to society and tells us what we can be..

Apparently this is meant to be the best school on the island??

I go to this school it's not great the canteen food is good but expensive the assemblys a joke e1m is just sad the only good teachers are miss doughty mrs white (maths) and mr barron oh and of course miss rudd (head of year) . The school looks like a prison. It's filfy
The library is nice and there is many places to sit at lunch overall an ok school

School is pretty awful. stupid rules. We arent allowed to stand at break or lunch.

PROPA SCRAN IN THE CANTEEN WHEEEEEEEY
propa nice tho ini
sending my 16.03 darling kids here ASAP so they can experience this propa heaven for their own little eyes.

Having had gone to CEC for half a decade, I’ve seen a lot of changes. One thing that had remained unchanged is the care and support teachers give students; it’s not only school work, they care for you as a person and treat you with respect and kindness. I’ve never felt so supported ever, and have always throughly enjoyed going to Cowes. Mental health has become more of a top priority for them, and it shows through the lengths they go to to support you. Academically, the school is strong with amazing teaching staff and lots of sessions for those struggling in their subjects.

Always proud to be a student there.

Thank u CEC for being a nice school

Nothing bad I can say about the school. I feel really safe and like they care about me. Lessons are good, clubs are good, school is good.

the school is good but they are rubbish and there teaching needs improving. and also don't care about the students anxiety and stress/bullying they need to improve the whole school, they need to let students fill up there drink bottles because i have getting head ache. they need to get better at dealing with mental health. and need to care about the students more. Thank u

Thank you CEC for being such an amazing school

Love this school it is so good

CEC has really come on a lot since the days of Cowes High School. The education on offer is excellent, staff really care about educating the students for life, not just for exams and there is a great sense of family. Well done CEC

While my daughter was at the school I addressed the multiple occasions when staff treated pupils, including my daughter, with a total lack of respect, and on occasions reduced them tears. Pupil welfare was non existent. I received no reply or updates. Laughingly my daughter was asked to stay on to 6th Form following remarkable exam results, in spite of, not because of them. No thank you.

Can't grade it because I no longer attend this school and it's under a different administration,but 😅😵,not a laughing out loud matter really,I see some things never change,and as for PE teachers,many of us old attendees, remember the same old treatment,per example,I forgot my shorts one day,and was told to wear my knickers,I said,no I won't, because all the boys would be watching,and,I didn't do pe,that day,in heaven's name,it hasn't changed,and bullying was also,just the same,back in the days,as was good teachers and bad teachers,it doesn't change,doubt it ever will,so,just reach out for the good bits about school.

it’s alright i guess, usually lots of pathetic drama tho

very bad school I don't like it very rude teachers and the school is ugly

the school is awful, throughout my school expirence i have been bullied had r@pe threats and had threats that i was going to be assualted i was stalked and assualted multiple times by a male student and the school blamed me and discarded my feelings and the proof against him and said it was my fault for leading him on. i started falling into a depression and told the safeguarding people i had thoughts about ending my life and they phoned my parents who werent happy about it when i asked it to be a private matter. the school is transphobic and homophobic in e1m lessons male teachers took over and put blame onto r@pe victims and said they shouldnt have been wearing that or they should be more cautious about men on drugs and alcohol. there are also many male members of staff that have commented on female students under garments such as the colour of bras. they have also left the gcse prep wayyyy too late this year and the year 11s are crumbling under the riduclous amount of pressure they are being put under. however all these bad expirences have made me into a better person and have given me life skills but alot of trauma the school doesnt have any sense of knowledge of mental health and they shame students. younger students run assemblies aboyt serious topics and the way the senior staff members have crafted the assemblies almost belittles the studentd suffering

It's an amazing school it helped me through alot and I feel safe in the school and I trust the adults in the school it's fun and lessons are interesting

This school ruined my mental health, from criticising my looks and making me wear tight and extremely short skirts during pe, where the boys would sexualise us.
however then punishing us for skirt length, and blaming us for the boys “not being able to concentrate” which might i add is r*pe culture. Teaching the boys that it’s always the girls fault.

Additionally throughout my whole year7-11 experience here i suffered from a extremely low self esteem, depression, anxiety and an eating disorder where i got little to none help. instead on my lowest days when you could tell i was suic*dal i was shouted at for my “provocative skirt length” and told i looked like a “prostitute” and “naked”

Not to mention the bullying that goes on that just goes unnoticed or is ignored, the racism homophobia and sexism from students and occasionally staff.

The safeguarding team are just bully’s who make children more mentally ill, this has been proven by many tragic events.

Attendance also seems to be this schools top priority above the well-being of its students along with homework and PE, don’t get my started on how some of the pe teachers treat students.

There are the odd teachers that do make this school slightly better but overall i would never want to return back to this school
