    Terrible school

    This is the worst school I have ever encountered the school has no means to protect their students, you can explain serious incidents to the teachers and nothing gets done just gets pushed away. I do not recommend anyone to send there children to ridgeway academy Welwyn garden city.

    Don’t send your kids here

    My younger siblings go to this school and judging from what I’ve learnt I’ve never come across a poorly structured and uncaring group of people I’ve ever come across in my life. Why become teachers as a if you don’t have the energy to deal with kids getting bullied this new “woke” era is just wrong. The kids get bullied teachers punish the kids that get bullied they don’t give a toss What a way to run a school. All honesty fuck this school and the people that work there go find a job you can do.

    A True Professional: Five Stars for Ridgeway Academy

    Ridgeway Adamy is an absolute standout in every sense of the word. From the first interaction, it’s clear that professionalism, dedication, and passion are at the core of their work. They bring a rare combination of technical expertise and genuine enthusiasm that makes collaborating not only productive but truly enjoyable. Every project surpasses expectations, and Ridgeway’s commitment to excellence shines through from start to finish. Communication with Ridgeway is seamless. They have a remarkable ability to listen carefully, understand complex ideas quickly, and translate them into actionable results. Whether it’s a strategic discussion or a detailed follow-up, Ridgeway ensures that everyone involved feels informed and valued. That kind of transparency builds instant trust and sets them apart in a world where consistent, clear communication is often overlooked. What really elevates Ridgeway Adamy’s work is their creativity paired with precision. They don’t just complete tasks—they innovate with purpose. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they have a talent for turning even the most ambitious concepts into well-structured realities. Every deliverable feels tailor-made, perfectly aligned with the vision of the project, and executed with impeccable quality. Reliability is another area where Ridgeway excels. Deadlines are always met, and often exceeded, without sacrificing quality. You can count on them to approach every challenge with confidence and a proactive mindset. That reliability builds peace of mind, knowing that the project is in the hands of someone who truly cares about the outcome and understands the importance of maintaining momentum. In short, Ridgeway Adamy deserves every bit of a five-star rating. Their professionalism, creativity, and integrity make them a top-tier choice for anyone seeking outstanding results. Working with Ridgeway is more than just a transaction—it’s an investment in quality, collaboration, and success. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    ridgeway is a living hell

    this school is the worst school in my area It's bad,the bullying doesn't get solved,and my son barely gets any homework due to the lack of communication between the students and teachers.My son gets bullied and harrased constantly from other students and the teachers do nothing about it.The teachers laugh at you when you do things wrong and they dont give the right help to students with difficulties.Whatever you do DONT send your child to ridgeway.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS

    I have 2 children at this school & I wholeheartedly agree with all the previous reviews. It is shocking they set homework & never follow through with sanctions when it’s not completed yet give detentions for earrings or forgetting a pen. They consistently break their own policies & the lack of communication is frustrating beyond belief particularly from the senior leadership team. They are finally after 5 years trying to follow through on the “standards” but this all about appearance & NOT education. I was a supporter of the school but I’ve completely lost faith. AVOID

    Don’t think hitting a child repeatedly is bullying

    My child is currently at ridgeway. I’m trying everything in my power to solve issues but school doesn’t want to know. He has been bullied from day 1 of year 7 and is a SEND a child. He is in year 8 currently I have never had any input from the SEND department. Previous reviews are spot on. The school ONLY care about how they look to the outside world by way of uniform and attendance rates. They are on kids and parents cases constantly in threatening ways to adhere to their “rules”. Yet I have te...

    Dont send your children here.

    Had to leave school prematurely as this school could not handle anything. Their system shames people caught doing smaller things like chewing, eating or checking a phone, however serious situations including bullying, violence, drugs etc are swept under the carpet. Pisspoor school and the ass of the Welwyn Hatfield Schools.

    Awful

    Their punishment is harsh for silly things.. Yet important things like bullying.. And ringing parents to say their child isn't in school... When they are and have been.. Very worried... A Harry Potter uniform isn't going to solve this schools problems... Was bad when it was Sir Fred's... But at least drug dealers weren't outside gates back then... Avoid ??????

    Disappointing :(

    Hated everyone and everything about the school. Made my depression worse and had a shit counsellor that did absolutely nothing when I asked for help.Most of the teachers were crazy and made exams and revision extremely stressful.However most subjects like: History, Drama, Philosophy and ethics, English and P.E, were the best lessons by far as they had really nice teachers that made u feel sane.
