Disgusting school! My son told me that there's alot of banging and selling drugs in the bathroom and the headteacher has done nothing. The education is horrible.
Crap
Jma oh my crap school staff treat kids like they are dogs won’t let them go to the loo or anything always has a stupid one way system for nothing can’t wear gloves in cold or you get a detention this school is messed up don’t send your child there and one teacher named miss stevens is a vile person/bully
Avoid going to John Madejski Academy
Please do not attend this school. I promise you that this school is the worst to attend. Your child would not benefit from JMA. I've attended other schools and this one is by far the worst one in its area. They do not know how to work with coloured or troubled children. I would not speak out if I did not believe I was meant to. I truly believe that this school is under bad management and would be traumatic for young children. The staff do not look out for the safety of their students and allow all sorts of inappropriate and dangerous acts to happen on their school grounds.
JMA Review
Students have a great bond between each other and your alwyas welcome for a chat.Many varities of sports across the grounds and many extra curricular clubs after school hours.Very large departments which don't specifically teach one thing .
Terrible
Terrible school, teachers very rude, not taught very well, too much pressure put on students, unsafe and unfair school!
Not a good time.
I do not recommend this school. Can genuinely say it was the worst time of my life. The "Zero Tolerance" for bullying is not adhered to. and it is just a horribly executed establishment. Maybe it's changed since then, but I doubt enough can change in a year to warrant sending your children there.
Honest
This school is terrible I regret going here, teachers treat people differently to a higher extent and they are also very condescending and unhelpful I would send your child to another school

Ok, ALOT of school fights, I’ve heard, know a kid who was beaten up so bad on the first day they left, which is really horrible!
My friend says food is horrible and overpriced
Been called a slur by a student, and a lesbian since I go to an all female school
I swear all the students have anger issues!!
If you search that video online, there’s an anti bully videos, most of the kids that spoke, was bullies!! Only 3 of the kids was SORT OF!! Normal,
And one of those students, became a drug dealer that used to go there, and if they got a good education, I bet they wouldn’t be doing that!!
Everyone that has been to the school, had been called a name at least once (people I know personally)
I swear the teachers ain’t any better!! My friend got a bloody detention for forgetting his school pen!! Now I have a strict school but the teachers would’ve just gave me a spare pen n told me to remember one next time not give me a DETENTION!!
“Some teachers are okay but majority are not good, they don’t over see the students well” my brother said that (left 9 years ago)
Bad school xD
