The schools decent just need to fix children's behaviour
Good school,kids are noisy and a couple strict teachers but overall its ok. Teachers give detention for the most stupidest reasons
SHITHOLE
Absolute shithole. Do not enroll your kids. I will speak for everyone when I say that this school is the worst yet.Head teacher likes to lock kids into rooms with him. Weird. Don’t know why anyone would think this is a good place to go.Head of years or slt never listen to kids side of the story and will always be with whatever the teacher says.stupid.you get put into ier for no absolute reason. Teachers like to be so rude to kids.Lets not forget they hired a teacher that put a camera in the girls toilet at their old school.yikes… everything’s always broken and they never fix them, toilets, toilet dispensers, sinks, chairs, tables??,doors? Let’s not forget toilet door locks. nearly everything you can think of is broken at this school. They also like to take toilet doors down when a child is pissing yet they think the child is skipping.seriously ratshit school
Don’t NOT send you’re children to Ormstion endeavour academy!
Do not send you’re son/daughter or tranny or whatever what you call you child, this school is abouslte shit, the teachers give you a b2 or b1 for slightest mistakes you make, the school food is disgusting and stale ,the teachers speak to students like shit hardly any of staff are nice,if you don’t have a pen or whatever on you in mr doney class if you want to borrow any of his supplies he makes you take of you’re shoes or whatever like you’re clothes it’s very weird for teacher doing that instead he could js give the student a pen instead of asking “take of you’re clothes”,a teacher even through a book at a student face for aboustley no reason and called them a “stupid bitch and the teacher blamed it on her pregnancy, and she got no punishment for that and is still working at the school from that day, even a teacher told a student in a wheelchair they were in the wrong school js because they in a wheel chair, they is a disabled school next to us,a rumour when round that a teacher was touching up a girl,apparently some teachers were masterbate in lessons I have heard but overall this school is terrible do not send you’re children here because you will regret so choose you’re options wisely they don’t even derseve one start they also can’t handle bullying cases
Why Ormiston endeavour academy is so shit
Teachers masterbate in the middle of lessons. One kid had suicidal thoughts from the mount of bullying they received. Another teacher round house kicked a student because they were late to lesson. A kid in a wheelchair was told he was in the wrong school because there is a disabled school next to it. One kid was selling drugs in the bike shed and hasn't been in caught yet. There is one teacher that beats his students. The food is about 5 years out of date minimum. Food is stale. Students learn nothing. Students achieve good grades by studying by themselves at home. Two teachers are so fat they can't fit through the door ways and drive mobility scooters which bend from their dense bodies.
School
The real truth of Ormiston Endeavour Academy
The teachers are incompetent of doing there job. There is Bulling everywhere. AVOID IF POSSIBLE!!!
Some stuff bullied me due to my upbringing of discipline and love, being vegan and my disability.
They are unfair when giving punishments. i got isolation for something that was proven that i was innocent. I nearly ended my life. it was a mental struggle of hell. They tried to charge £40 to go to London for Shopping trips, when i went to Body worlds and a museum (in London) with my college for £35!
I was a former student here. Justin Young is right. They tried to make me wear a tie that if it got stuck on something would kill me.
They have an TEDDY BEAR to give to the form with the HIGHEST ATTENDANCE!! come on these children are between 11 - 16 NOT 4 YEARS OLD!!
NEVER AGAIN! I WILL NOT my children though this hell

I’m honestly surprised this school hasn’t been closed down. I’ve been to a number of different high schools and this is by far the worst one yet.
The teachers do not care about their students!! There might be a select few but the majority only help their favourites and leave the rest of the students to struggle. All their teaching methods are different which would be okay if it want for have multiple teaching one subject all of which have drastically different expectations on what to do for class and how they teach.
The student support is SO BAD!! They contantly talk about if you have a problem talk to a member of staff but they do nothing!! If you’re lucky they will have a letting with you where you talk about it and they normally end up being either completely unhelpful or dismissing your problem. If you have learning disabilities you’re going to struggle. You get tested for dyslexia but if you have it all they do is take you out of class to do a rubbish online course which doesn’t do anything so you end up having more work to do at home trying to catch up from the time you missed. Also if you have Irlens syndrome the best thing they’re going to do is give you a battered overlay, which is bearable until you’re staring at a whiteboard or screen for 30mins or you’re writing an essay. They don’t offer coloured paper like most schools even though they have the paper in stock and could easily make them if they could be bothered.
The food is utterly disgusting and unhealthy, as someone who has free school meals I often decided to go hungry because I’d rather be hungry than eat the rubbish they serve. The pizza tastes like cardboard with cheese on top with loads of grease on top, the canteen is too packed to have a meal inside so you’re best off trying to get a bland sandwich and water if you can.
If you’re struggling with mental health then you’re also at a disadvantage as they do absolutely nothing. I know a lot of my friends who go to the school councillor and apparently they are useless and unhelpful. I’ve been trying to get councilling for years and they still haven’t done anything. A girl literally tried to kill herself and was back in school within a week and they didn’t do anything to try help her.
Don’t even get me started on how they handle bullying. They, like most schools these days, have the zero tolerance policy meaning even if you’re the one being bullied you will be punished the same if bot more than the bully’s themselves. My brother and sister both fell victim to that as my brother would retaliate to the bullying by fighting and my sister would just walk home crying, alone and BLEEDING from where she had her head banged into a locker. How the staff didn’t notice I will never know.
Also for some reason they are obsessed with their school uniforms and code of conduct. People have literally turned up to school smelling like weed but they’re more annoyed that this girls skirt is 2cm to short or you’re wearing white socks not black or even because of hair colour. I know adults think uniforms are good because poor kids don’t get picked on but to be honest in this case it causes more harm than good. No one cares about what we wear or how many piercings we have or what colour our hair is. What is distracting is when you’re taken out of class and have to wait at the office so you can go home and change or have the staff make you dye your hair to a more natural colour, which leads to missing out on more learning time.
So long story short it’s a rubbish school with poor education and should honestly be closed down.

Please don’t send your kids here
The school is utterly rubbish, you get minimal student support. It’s obvious half the teachers don’t care about their students and so they don’t try to help. You’re constantly ignored when you try to get help with mental health problems yet they preach about how important it is to keep a good mental health. Almost all help you ask for to do with grades or career choices are dismissed until Year 11 and by then you’re too worried about exams and don’t have that much time.

Alright, please listen to me when I say this because I'm trying to help you. As someone who has had to endure the absolute catastrophe that is this school it is NOT worth it, please if you're a parent reading this do not send your kids here and if they're already there then get them out!!
Allegedly alot of shady things go on there and some of the staff including the head teacher having sexual assault allegations. Absolute trash bunch of pedos!! They don't care about their students and they mistreat them very poorly. Favouritism, racism, etc. I can't stress this enough that this school will ruin your child.
And if you're a student yourself reading this, speak up about what goes on. It's not right what they do. This place put a huge toll on my mental health and I almost killed myself. It isn't a safe place.
