Darton Academy

I used to come here my mental health was frozen in time for over a year the amount of bullying in the school was apauling they say go to the learning manager but whenever I went they tried to flip it on me "overreacting" and when they didn't they would say "we will sort it" but nothing ever changed I was ther through year 7 and to about 3 weeks after the start of year 8 I was thinking of leaving pretty much when I started I tried to make my situation better by moving form it took over 6 months and when it happened the learning manager was acting like it WS such a burden the wellbeing team is actually useless if you have an autistic child or any other disability do NOT make them come here I am autistic so I would know thank you to anyone who reads this please take my advice

Even before when the old school existed nothing has changed still full of useless teachers who are incompetent. Kidz sitting useless public exams which are not worth the time or effort. Need a much better system. A shame what could be good establishment considering millions of tax payers money wasted paying teachers salaries and running costs.

I used to go to darton accademy and i’m being serious, this school needs shutting down its the worst school ever as soon as i stepped foot into that school my mental health went down the drain sick for other 3 days? school comes knocking on your door interrogating you asking why your not at school without any warning they just show up and at school the food is absolutely disgusting no halal meat they say they do vegan / veggie meals but they barely serve them the pasta is as dry as the Sahara desert they have apparently removed all tomato sauces so vegans/vegetarians cant have pasta anymore they have also removed all the juices cupcakes and deserts. and if your a second late first period even if its not your fault c4 if you get bullied and you run out of class crying c5 they say they settle it but it doesn’t the only thing they do is a c4 and then it carries on and carries on and they always believe the people bullying other people the bullies act like the victim then teachers belive them and punish the actual victims it was that bad that a friend of my literally wanted to move schools and he barely came to school anymore and ran out of class crying every single day there wasn't a week where he didn't run out off class crying. ever since this “accademy” came in the darton school was ruined when delta accademy came in it ruined everything the uniform our mental healths when it was just darton accademy we had way more freedom girls could walk freely without slt members slut shaming them “look at your skirt” “its way to short” “pull it down” “it’s distracting to male teachers” girls in this accademy have it the worst skirt down to ur knees? ur considered weird. Skirt rolled normally? you get told to pull it down and teachers don't let girls wear leggings in pe but we are somehow allowed trousers? ill tell you why because leggings are tight and teachers cant avert their eyes from looking at YOUNG girls if anything leggings are better for PE because you have less chance of tripping when you run but with trousers they are baggy and you always trip over the backs. also teachers favourite certain students mainly popular people to be honest half the time its slt! Slt are horrible they pick on certain students when i used to go to the school slt let girls walk past with massive eyelashes and skirts rolled up put as soon as i came in with mascara foundation and eyebrow gel suddenly its a issue? Thats what i don't get how they let girls with full faces of makeup walk past like they don't exists but when its me or other girls suddenly its not okay? my opinion is some slt members are pedophiles and get attracted to certain girls. same for female teachers they always favourite the popular “funny” boy they always suck up to him and always let them talk. this school seriously needs more inspection.

i’ve been at this school for a while now, and from my experience, i don’t have many good stories to tell. the only good things about it are my friends, the students. sometimes it feels like we’re the only sane ones. i hear the teachers telling kids off for the most utterly ridiculous reasons that make me question their priorities. we are made to go to school to live a good future, but plainly in this day and age it’s more about the teachers rather than the students themselves. i do not understand what is so important about the length of our skirts, or if we’re 30 seconds late to the lesson. we’re not bad kids. it’s a simple mistake anyone can make and we could be the most well behaved child ever, but we’re getting punished for feeling comfortable. the buses are sometimes late, traffic also exists, they fail to remember this is a real world we’re living in, and we are real people with feelings. just because we’re teenagers, that does not mean we are all out partying, doing drugs and burning homework on the weekends. the people in charge of delta need to rethink. there are many schools in the delta chain, and the ‘directors’ they call them, come up with all the rules that every school has to abide by. some of these rules, for example, 6 around a table at lunch and break, the length and material of girls’ skirts, and having planners out at the beginning of school and during lesson. none of these are necessary. why are they rules in the first place, they serve no purpose. they make students feel unwelcome and dehumanised. so many have mental health problems, mostly probably to do with the school and the way it handles situations. a student in year 11, earlier this year committed suicide. i myself don’t know why exactly but i’m sure the school didn’t help, and it only helped lead to this. the school needs to change before anything like this happens again to such a young person.
