Cromer Academy

Honestly this school is so bad, treating kids badly and being strict. They only care about what grades we get at the end of year 11. We had a booklet handed to us saying "we must become the top school" and never talking about how badly students get bullied. The school is slefish. They say they will help with bullying and mental health in assemblies but when the latter happens to students the teachers dont care. Such as with bullying they would say "ignore them" or "we cant do anything as there is no proof". Excuse me but what fucking child would randomly go to a teacher and lie about either a mental, emotional or physical abuse towards themselves no one does that and the teachers could give a shit. Such as with mental health , they pressure us to say whats going on with us and the firsy question is "whats going on at home?" Like for the love of god why not a "how are you?" "Just talk to me i will help and will comfort you!" Like thats all we need as a student. When we do spill they say they will help and then immediately contact parents on everything we said, i get they arent fucking therapists but stipl could give us advice or extra comfort and use their "skills" to help us. The school is honestly so strict treating js as we are in the military, we do one little thing its either a dmerit or an instand send to ii. Missing our lunch and time to eat to go to detention for a stupid mistake we made, they say "everyone makes mistakes" but gets angry when we do make one. Oftenly we would show up with a new style of hair or something that we have changed about ourselves then the teachers would make "jokes" about the appearance which could effect mental health. Again ive heard plenty of teachers say yea we do talk about you students in the staff room which makes us worried or upset thinking they could be talking shit about us. I had one teacher say to my form that he had teacher training once and for an example on how to respond to a student asking to go to the toilet. He had to "imitate" a student asking to go to the toilet and he said to us "i thought of what this student has said to me before such as 'can i go to the toilet please and replied with oh i forgot to go at lunch" he did mention the pupil but i am not naming on here, while thay pupil is in my form and got publically humiliated for some stupid presentation. And overall they have unneccessary rules and will give detentions or demerits for silly little things like defending themselves in a conversation, chewing gum or talking once. We get forced to show good etiquette, manners and etc that you would see a royal gey taught, i get we have to have manners but this can hit hard for a teenager when that are worrying about grades and to be a good person for eberyone to lile because of this school. Also, as this school is shite everyone never expresses themselves because of bullying that the teachers don't sort out.

The whole system is terrible, they dont care for our mental health. Bullying is also a problem, they dont do anything to stop it, all they do is tell them "dont do it again" and mainly ignore the issue. Dont send your kid here because they wont be happy. Its also funny how they say that this school is a 'great' one when somehow they still allow a PEDOPHILE to work at this school, not to mention the fact that he makes weird comments, mainly about girls. You literally have no freedom in this school, so many rules and overall the whole system is shit. No one feels happy here, teachers dont care about anything, not to mention how stict some are, and how some just give you a demerit no practically no reason. Honestly they dont care how bad your mental health is all they care about is you getting good grades to make this stupid place look good.

Lacks support for those with mental health struggles, lots of students dislike going to school/ the teachers.
Inconsistency with punishments and rules among students.
Bullying often ignored.
Teachers are also quite insensitive of children’s feelings, e.g making “jokes” that the students often take personally.
Most children feel they can’t speak up because the school has become so strict, school is now less enjoyable and it’s not a positive environment to be in anymore, which makes students not want to work or come to school.
This school tries to act like a private school with the strict enforcement of unnecessary rules and the etiquette they try to force us into doesn’t allow us to enjoy going to school or learning.

Every moment was a living hell
