Great school
Great school, son is in year 7 and can't fault the school, he's over achieving in all subjects, great support from his teachers and lots of enrichment
This school is terrible
This school is absolutely terrible I’m been in this school for only 3 years, yr 7 was good the school was amazing but ever since I went into yr 8 everything went downhill I tried to be a good kid but the teachers didn’t care to do anything other than giving me c5s and sending me out of class for the most pettiest reason ever I got sent out of class in maths because I laughed which I didn’t and I got blamed and got a c4 for no reason, I was also getting bullied in yr 7, 8, and 9 and nothing has gotten better this school is just getting worse every year, the teachers have done nothing about it even if I said something they didn’t do anything about it, and apparently they’re supposed to help when I spoke about my mental health and when I was getting bullied they told me to go back to class I cried my eyes out because of this school. Everyday I wake up to come to school I feel drained I don’t want to go to this school I would even call my mum sometimes and lie that I’ve been throwing up all night because it was so bad I didn’t wanna come to school it gets worse every single day it doesn’t get better, this school is terrible send your kids to another school just not danum
wish i could vote 0 stars
most stressful horrible school in donny
Outwood academy Danum
It a really bad school you get picked on for the smallest things and there is so much bullying in this school and teachers can’t just sort it out for people to be safe all they care about is them self’s it has to be like them all the time
My opinion
This school is terrible. As a parent i have found my child crying on the phone to me as her mental health is taking a massive incline. You should not send a child to this school. My daughter has rang me crying saying "the SLT teacher has called me stupid and a silly girl" no parent should have to deal with these issues that come with this school. Also to make the matter worse i have been stood in reception and had overheard the teachers (pardon my french) slagging off students who had misbehaved calling then stupid and mentally deranged. My child has also been bullied by the children of this school multiple times and she has refused to go back.Until these issues are solved DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL!!
The Truth
Nah yall are trippin this is a top tier school in doncaster right? Bet all of you are just kids bro the teachers are great and are good with solving problems, also the reason it seems like a "prison" i because this is a strict school that expects you to behave and follow instructions, like tbh yall are overreacting stop fussing and just do what you're told honestly can't believe how much people dislike this scholl like honest in my opinion if you want teachers who just dont care go woodfield besides you should've known what you got yourself into before enrolling into a top tier school.
Stay away
The students at this school are completely out of control. At lunch time the students are allowed to run riot with no supervision. It is an accident waiting to happen. The behaviour is that of a prison riot. If it was the last school on earth I would rather home school. Staff are too busy messing around, gossiping or hiding to do anything about anything. The place is a joke of an educational facility.
Don't do it
Very bad, you get picked of for the smallest things
One of, if not the worst school in Doncaster
Bullying ignored, self defence punishable by exclusion for over 3 days, possibly even permanent exclusion, food is horrible in cafeteria, possible isolation loop hole where student is stuck in isolation (I experienced this for over 2 weeks) , toilets for girls and boys are shared, toilets are not enclosed with a separate room, instead they’re left open, teachers incredibly biased and usually leave by one year and punishments are incredibly harsh, for example if you’re more than even 5 seconds late you will receive a detention, I could list what is wrong with this school but this review would be too long to read, I strongly advice you do not choose this school and give your child a better experience somewhere else.
Avoid
Horrible, bullying is basically ignored and self defense is punishable by exclusion. Avoid it. I’d send my kid to Outwood Academy Adwick instead, way better teachers and environment.
Terrible
Terrible. Horrible teaching and bad environment
