Sawtry Village Academy

This school has been very good. When we have had an issue the house office staff deal with it quickly and teachers are very approachable. Education here is good and we have been provided with lots of updates on how our child is performing in subjects. Lunch options could be better, there’s not much choice and my child will choose a fast food option whenever they eat a school meal.

Sawtry is a decent school. The food is average and the teachers are good.. The facilities are good and there is plenty to do at lunch and break. I would recommend this school and I would say it’s the best in Cambridgeshire by a mile.

Do not send your children here especially if they've had past trauma they're struggling with mental health because of, physical or mental disabilities, etc. I sent my child with a physical disability in their legs here and they have never once been treated with understanding or care, they are forced to walk up several flights of stairs daily and get reprimanded and treated with condescending remarks whenever they're too slow to complete a task. They do nothing against transphobia, racism, bullying or other terms of harassment so If you truly care about your child, please figure out some place else to send them.

If I could give no stars I would. If your child is a bully or a racist they will fit in real well here, half the teachers are bully’s and throw there weight around. They victim blame all the time rather than deal with the issue, they almost never address the situation (if you get the police involved they put in a little effort) and then punish a child when they defend themselves from an assault when they don’t act to keep kids safe. If you care about your child do not send them here, they don’t like parents who are involved and care about their child wellbeing. A great school for racist and bullies to thrive! ??

This school is one of the best schools my daughter has been to she joined sawtry in a very difficult time in year 11 and the school made her feel so welcome and made sure she got the grades she deserved. I honestly can’t thank that school enough for what they have done I would say one of the best schools around.
