do not send your children here!!!
i’ve had a brother, sisters and cousins who have been here, and every single one of them have had trouble with bullying from both staff and students. this school failed my sisters and cousin; my sisters were both bullied by students, with no support from staff, to the point where they couldn’t come into school as they felt that they weren’t being supported and nothing was being done about the bullying. this resulted in one of them being kicked out of the school (completely unjustified). staff ha...

Do not send your children here !!
i used to attend this school but left in year 9 due to it making my mental health so bad, i was on the verge on taking my own life due to how little help and support i got from this school and the horrible ways people treated me while i was there. I want to let you know that since leaving my life has been so much better i successfully passed all of my gcses and have gone on to do a levels such as psychology and criminology. This school should have been shut down many years ago as it is so awful.

A pathetic, power-tripping circus. Absolute garbage.
This place is an absolute joke. It is not an academy; it is a glorified, low-budget prison colony run by clueless, power-tripping tyrants who think they are commanding an army. The management team are completely incompetent, hiding in their offices while the actual corridors are a chaotic, feral free-for-all. They are pathologically obsessed with pathetic, micromanaged rules—screaming at kids over sock lengths and trouser fabrics—solely to cover up the fact that the actual standard of teaching i...

Critical feedback on facilities and environment
The reviewer reports that the temperature control in the maths rooms is poor due to non-functioning air conditioning, and that gym equipment has been broken for an extended period. The reviewer expresses strong dissatisfaction with their overall experience at the school, describing it as very negative for their well-being. However, the reviewer notes that the student community is generally friendly.

Poor handling of bullying and support for ND children.
My year 9 child spent the last couple years with on and off bullying that was never dealt with by this school. Friday morning I rang the school to inform them my child would not be in that day due to another pupil threatening physical harm on my child and requested someone ring me urgently. Nobody did. They wrote her attendance as unauthorised and left it there. I've now removed her and will temporarily homeschool until I find better public schooling. I would never ever trust this school for any child, especially if your child is neurodivergent.

Feral kids
Terrible school, the kids are feral and the parents are complete benefit scrounging wasters. No wonder their kids are rancid. Feel sorry for the teachers who have to work with such vile troglodytes.

Present Student.
I personally haven't experienced racism and reading these reviews I can agree with what they say as I see so many students or substitutes get criticised about how they act, look or sound like which is a main problem and negative at this high school. When you tell a trusted adult or a higher up for example Ethos, they do not do anything to help. Many teachers do not listen to students when they say they need help in lesson, in fact personally they blame you for not understanding anything, so when...

Angry parent
They are changing the uniform which will make everyone look like boys and I have only just brought a new PE kit and they are changing it again????!!!! I’m not a bank and I think the children and students of this school cant express them selves with such a boyish school uniform and please tell me why they can’t wear shorts for PE like what if they get hot or we have a heat wave do they want the students to become ill or over whelmed?!

this school is horrid
Im a current student at this school, i am only in hear 8 but i have been attending here long enough to understand how bad it is to be here. Many teachers are very rude and do not have any manners, (in my experience i have been told that the reason i couldnt breathe in pe was because i was overweight and fat when they had actually pushed us too far and none of us could breathe no matter the size of us) i should also mention the fact that every teacher in the maths department does not have a clue what they are doing and there is a massive shortage, many classes have been left without a teacher for atleast 1 whole academic year. this needs to be sorted, sometimes they pick up bullying and try to fix it but you have to pester for that to happen.

Horrible
This school is absoloutely flabbergasting!!! My year 7 daughter got her phone confiscated while texting me about a very important topic, is this real or a jail? Also the food is shocking, how can they mess up a chicken tikka masala that bad is it that hard to follow google recipes? Another thing is the negatives, my child accumulates about 15 negatives a week for no reason except talking in lesson and chewing. We have been speaking since we learned how to so should we all just stop because a tea...

DONT SEND YOUR CHILD TO Q3!!!
Makes me want to kms. Honestly. My friend begged to move timetables but the head teacher wouldn't do anything because of her "academics". But I asked ONCE and they asked me what's wrong and gave me a chance. This school is honestly unfair.

Retrospective from former student
No action taken to bullying, constant supply leading to wasted potential of good academic attainment, bad management, overcrowding

This school is terrible!
This is a bad school to go to in my opinion. For example, they do not care if a child got into a fight and are hurt but when it comes to a member of staff and then getting punched then they have to a whole assembly about it. They have a decent education but teachers sometimes are more concerned about the behaviour of the children than the actual learn, leaving several things out for just so they can put negatives for them and they way they talk to us student is bad (not all the teachers are bad)...

exchange student
I NEED YOUR HELP I'm an exchange student who'll study at Q3 Tipton academy and reading all these reviews is really scaring me. Since I'll basically be an immigrant all these comments about racism are pretty concerning and even the ones about teachers not giving a f*ck about anyone stress me out cause I'll need a huge amount of documents from the school to come back in my country and I can't just be ghosted. I'm please begging if one of the local students could tell me if other exchange students have experienced bullying before? Has the class interacted with them or were they just left alone? AND THEN WTF DOES IT MEAN THAT I CAN'T TAKE MY COAT INSIDE? My rating is obvsly random cause I still haven't studied at Q3

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE
An absolute disgrace of a school. I sent my child to Q3 for 3 years (up until year 9) before having to change the school. My child got bullied countless of times and had complained to the teachers many times with them doing nothing at all. My daughter used to tell me about the cases of S*xual assault that has happened within the school and about the teachers swearing at students and causing them to have problems with their mental health. I had a meeting with one of the teachers, about the bullying and they did absolutely nothing. There is always police outside the school and fights nearly everyday. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. EVEN YOUR LOCAL DUMPING GROUND WILL GIVE UR CHILD A BETTER EXPERIENCE⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

DO NOT GO HERE‼️‼️‼️‼️
This school is genuinely the worst Toilet situations: they have locked every single toilet and the entire school has to share 3 cubicles for the girls and 3 cubicles for the boys, and dependent on where you are you have to travel half the school just to go to the toilet This school also says they are super inclusive but when homophobia is presented they do NOTHING about it. No accommodation for mental health problems Canteen food is inedible 99% of the time and tastes like crap

Horrible Experience
The school is so bad, bullying and fights happen every single day. They do nothing in classes other than give you random punishments every time you cant do something that they want you to do. A art teacher robbed something from me and refused to give it back and when I swore, rang my parents and still isnt giving it back. Please do not send your kids here, its so corrupt and it affects my life in a negative way, look for another school.

Assistant headteacher is a Bully
I am scared about the safeguarding issue about my child, as one assistant headteacher is a bully. She even favours another assistant headteachers daughter and the daughter’s boyfriend as the two teachers are friends. The teacher’s children getting privileges is morally wrong and unfair. These teachers making the school look like third world country’s school. Just recently one of the assistant headteachers demoralised the students. Please can anybody give me advise on how to take legal action against the school as their complaint protocols are not transparent and the teachers are biased covering each other’s back.

Horrific schoook
This would have got zero stars but I couldn’t leave a review otherwise Really unethical school from teacher and pupil views When I was in year ten last year there was one student who called another student big black bastard and the girl is always very naughty but she gets away with it because she is white. When the head of year was told about this she said she did not care as it happened off the school grounds but I know if it was a white pupil she would have cared and done something about i...

WHY YOU SHOULDNT SEND YOUR BELOVED KID TO Q3 TIPTON !
I am a student of q3 academy and i wish i wasn't because there is a fight nearly every day and the teachers do nothing or maybe give them a small talk but that's it! There kitchen staff is terrible ,one time a kid used bad language at them because he has mental issues and they wouldn't feed them! the teachers never HELPED! Some of the teachers are kind and understands but some are so mean for the smallest actions also the teachers that are mean are just a waist of time ,they put the work up and play on the phones i will also say the phone rule is just why ? The teachers phones can be out but not the students phones ? Also the uniform is sick you can not were shorts when its summer you have to wear skirts or trousers i feel so bad for the boys and girls that wear trousers.

Safeguarding issue
I’m a student and when I got home I got told that I was apparently sick at 11:45. My mother rushed over to the school from work. My guardian had to rush in a taxi to the house to so called let me in. The taxi cost him a fiver and with inflation at an high that 5 pounds could have helped and possibly take us far. My mom was near the school and got told it was the wrong student and only got sorry. This is a safeguarding issue. This school is ok but it’s only bads are this litter and horrible teachers and a bit off bullying
