THIS SCHOOL HAS BOUND ME TO A TABLE IN B BLOCK. IT'S TORTURE. I CANNOT BREATHE. FRESH AIR HAS NEVER BEEN SO VALUABLE. I'M IN A GAS CHAMBER. THEY PUT DISOBEDIENT STUDENTS HERE AND LET THEIR SKIN ROT BEFORE TOSSING THEIR SKELETON INTO THE WALLS. THIS SCHOOL IS BUILT ON DEAD CHILDREN. THOUSANDS ARE DEAD. WHO DO YOU THINK FUNDED THE NEW BLOCK. IT'S ALL OF THE STUDENTS THAT YOU NEVER SAW AGAIN. THEY BLOCK ALL COMMUNICATION WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD. THEY MONITOR YOUR EVERY MOVE, EVERYTHING YOU TYPE AND...

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE
horrible place, only reason why they get good praise is because they tell the students to act good when ofsted arrives. all the teachers do is yell at kids and call them idiots over simple things, heck it feels like the bad kids get praised most of the time over the quiet kids. the cover teachers feel unqualified and most of the time they dont know what they’re even doing so they just do nothing the whole lesson. heck i even reported a girl once for insulting me and the staff was like:”Oh she has a ton of siblings” HOW DOES HER HAVING A TON OF SIBLINGS HAVE TO DO WITH HER BEING MEAN?? Like just because that girl may have a bad homelife does not mean she can just be rude to people without getting consequences?? Absolutely ridiculous

This school is hell!
This school is racist and sexist and they are so strict about not having your coat indoors and also you can even have you hood up anywhere and they charge you so much for food and they are barely even upgrading the classes even the parents are having enough of this place as a student who goes to this school i do not recommend it at all because they don't give a f##k about you and this place is a absolute torture even the students would run this school better than the teachers and head teacher and the owner of the school COMBINED please CLOSE DOWN THIS SCHOOL!

spalding academy worst school
Spalding academy in Lincolnshire is the worst school ever made. they scar little kids as young as 11 by screaming and shouting non stop. the rules are absolutely ridiculous and traumatising to the students. All they care about is their reputation and the way the students make the school look. When ofsted comes they bribe the students into being perfect so they get an exceptional rating from them. They also dont do anything about bullying and false accusations, they just think putting the child i...

Worst school ever DESPICABLE rules
Terrible school the uniform rules are Abit silly since they put you in sru for stupid things like socks. They also think screaming at the kids will teach them lessons but their just scaring the children. and also your not allowed to wear your coat indoors even when it's freezing. All they care about it attendance and information and reputation. when ofsted comes in, they bribe the kids into being good so they don't get a bad rating from ofsted.

Firstly Amelia
If you want to have a negative communication with me, I suggest you do not use the discussion tab. This work was set Thursday day-time. If you do not look until late at night, that is your problem with organisation of time. HOWEVER this work was actually set in lesson - you were told to complete this task as homework. This clearly shows you do not listen.

Terrible experience
This school is terrible. I genuinely think they've forged the 'Top 5 in 'Lincolnshire' propoganda they put out, either that or the other schools in the area are a lot worse. It's clear that both the teaching and pastoral staff aren't qualified, they don't know how to handle student affaires at all. The Executive Headteacher (Lucy Conley) is incredibly disrespectful to all of her staff, treating them like they are expendable robots. This school has terrible management, for christ sake, do NOT...

We are absoloutely smashing the national average
"We are absoloutely smashing the national average" Said our glorious head of school here at Spalding Academy. It is true, our school is truly soaring high above the others in Spalding. I have full trust that this will only lead us onto greatness and to full incorporation of the entire area of Lincolnshire into SLAT.

False accusations
Last year I was forced to hear how a student in his class had been punished for repeating what the teacher had said! He said it in a "mocking" tone and the teacher told him off for "disrespect". Then, the teacher punished everyone who laughed at the incident by forcing them to apologize! The student who started it was punished by spending an hour extra at the school! I think it is unacceptable that this should happen and my son has also told me that this is not the only incident where a student...

Parent of a child in yr8
Last year, my little angel received just over 1,000 minus points for absurd reasons like "Assaulting a teacher" or "attempting to commit arson" I think it is absoloutely UNNACCEPTABLE for my little angel to receive these points for things they would never ever do. I raised my child differently than this and if the school wants to punish them for things they never did then I will take LEGAL ACTION against the school.

Absolutely shocking
I am a mother of my child who goes to that school. My first impression is very bad. Looks like the teachers only punishing the kids for no reason. They calling children stupid and dumb or plonkers. They keep repeating children that the children not choosing the school to go or not, that the teachers deciding if the students goes to that school. The bullying from the trachers are absolutely disgusting. I was listening the voice recording of the one of the assembly and I was in shock. The teachers were demotivated children with them talks how they are the worst students ever they had at that school. Imagine my manager say to me and my colleagues same thing? I think he wouldn’t work for mich longer. The teacher was raising the voice and making children so small. They punished whole class only because one child was barking and others just laughed because of that. For sure they could just deal with student who barked without punishing others. I was getting the message that my child is on absence while he was at school. Same thing happened to my colleague from work. They got some point scheme for good or bad behaviour. I understand that there should be something in place, but some minus points came for my child were just absurd, like forgot calculator or haven’t got pen. For sure school have extra to provide in case someone forgot them.

Not the best
better than the Gleed but could be better. the corridors smell of B.O most of the time, teachers have major anger issues and their teaching method is not the best! they just use powerpoints from another school in the same trust! (Giles Academy). They also expect us to learn so much from a powerpoint and watching useless videos. some teachers take time to explain it but most just leave it to the board to take care of! Also, you are not allowed to leave your yard at lunch or break without permissi...

The downfall of spalding academy
Verse 1: Yo, let me tell you bout this school I know Where the teachers don't teach and the students don't grow You sit in class all day, just wasting time And when you ask for help, they act like it's a crime The textbooks are outdated, the lessons are weak If you wanna learn something, you gotta hit the streets But when you leave the classroom, you get hit with the stink The hallways, the bathrooms, it's all in sync Chorus: This school's a disaster, it's a terrible shame The meals might be good, but the teachers are lame The corridors stink of wee, the yards look like a prison If you don't believe me, just take a listen Verse 2: The lunch lady's the best part of this place The food's so good, you forget about the disgrace But then you gotta leave the cafeteria behind And enter the halls, it's like you're in a bind The toilets are clogged and overflowing with mess The smell overtakes you, it's impossible to forget The corridors are dark, you can barely see The tiles are sticky, it's a nightmare to be Chorus: This school's a disaster, it's a terrible shame The meals might be good, but the teachers are lame The corridors stink of wee, the yards look like a prison If you don't believe me, just take a listen Verse 3: The yards are a sight worth seeing, let me tell you that It's like a scene straight out of a horror movie, it's a fact The fences are high, the bars are thick It's hard not to feel trapped, it's quite a trick You wanna play basketball or soccer, but where's the court? You wanna run around, but there's not much support The facilities are lacking, the school's in a rut It's hard to enjoy it, when it's all just a bust Chorus: This school's a disaster, it's a terrible shame The meals might be good, but the teachers are lame The corridors stink of wee, the yards look like a prison If you don't believe me, just take a listen Outro: I'm sorry to say it, but this school's a joke It's time for a change, it's time to revoke The teachers who don't care, the facilities that stink It's time to make a difference, it's time for a big blink.
