My daughter attended this school in 2017.
She was a bright bubbly confident, pretty young girl who had never had a bad report in junior school. She started this school and unfortunately started getting bullied from some girls who came from another junior school.
The bullying got worse and worse and with social media it was 24/7 groups of pupils cutting up her clothes on line, making horrible songs up about her and her family, constantly telling her to kill herself. North Shore dealt with this by putting my daughter into lower sets to keep her away from the bullies? Then when they realised
that wasn't working, they put my daughter in isolation for 6 hours a day. By this point my daughter had lost 2 stone in weight, was pale with dark rings round her eyes from not sleeping and she was attending CAHMS. Final day was when a male pupil wiped dog muck on her clothes and another poured milkshake over her head at lunchtime. She stood up and shouted back at the bully, and punched, slapped and kicked her. The bully was then off on the sick for 2 weeks while my daughter was back on constant isolation. Getting threats that she was going to get killed when the bully came back to school. I found a suicide note in her room that night and told her she was not going back there ever. I rang North Shore and explained I was taking her to the doctor as she was a depressed, anxious, shell of a girl she had been just a year before, and my mother then read the suicide note out to them because I couldn’t get the words out for crying. 2 days later I received a letter from North Shore Academy advising me I would be getting fined for not making sure my daughter was attending school.?!! I moved out of the area and my daughter is now 18 and doing well, no thanks to North Shore Academy.
Literally went through hell with that mentally torturing school who offered no support, considering they almost had a death on their hands. I don't think my daughter or l will ever get over the incredibly traumatic experience we had to go through at the hands of this awful school's bullying behaviour. The teachers I came across are quite literally sadistic abusers who seemed to take great pleasure in watching a lovely young girl slowly fall to pieces right in front of them.
I've found multiple hair's in my food occasionally throughout the years I've been there.
Although the chef's wear hats, it doesn't fully cover their hair
(Recently i counted 5 small hair's in my desert, i got grossed out and just threw the desert in the trash).
The bottom of the tables are just filthy. They don't clean or scrape it, now there's SO MUCH gum stuck under the table's.
I counted up to 50 pieces stuck, and that wasn't even all of it.
I hate this school so much my geography teacher straight c4d some kids in my class and he always gives me c4s hes actually horrible and the teachers do nothing about your mental health they dont care which i think they should care more about. Theres only a couple of teachers that actually care like my science teacher and these reviews about children killing themselves cause of this school im not surprised.
review from a year 9 student
do not and i mean do not go to this school here why i have heard about 10 fights happen
also
1 some kid is on the threw stuf at my friend so he was gonna fight outside it did not fight luckyly
also 2 kids got mad and fight each other inside of school 1 was free out of punishment even tho she started even met her out of school
ive had 4 or 5 threats to fight someone called lee and he threatend me 5 times to fight him
ive read 3 kids killed them killed them selfs bc of bullying
teachers are terrible my learning manger was terrible an di swaped to year 9 1 day 100% if u have a cheer full son never get them here as a example 1 kid came into class met some of the loud kids in class was nice went from bulling and going into fight just because some kids made him like that
i was gonna give worst but its ok but the worst cant even explain how bad the school was
Incredibly improved in recent times with the addition of amazing teaching staff. Every member of staff has the needs of every student at heart while having the professionalism to deal with any forms of behaviour. I can’t speak highly enough of the school.
Words cant even show how bad this school is, 3 kids committed suicide due to the bullying in that school, it was next to an extremely rough estate, there was non stop trouble, the teachers were AWFUL when i was there- (2014-2018) they had no mental health help, they used to scream at the students in the corridors, the isolation was awful and the detentions were an actual joke, wouldnt recomend this awful school
Absolutely shite. Got an award for no bullying behaviour yet there’s be a few suicides due to bullying at the school they do nothing about it all the kids are ruff and scruffy needs to be sorted out
