Worst school in the UK no question about it
My 2 boys go here. It is by far the worst school in the UK. After already pulling my daughter from this school and placing her elsewhere shes flurished!. The standard of teaching here is inadequate. The carpark is a utter joke. Fundamentally this school needs to all be fired and start again because not a single teacher here is worth the salary paid to them!. I agree with the offstead rating uts a 0 stars from me. Avoid avoid avaoid!
Horrid horrid school
Disgusting the way staff and children are treated. Everything is shoved under the carpet and hidden from legalities.
Never experienced anything like this. Children are at risk daily.
Feral behaviour.
Unqualified staff
Terrible leadership

I'm very disappointed
They give little importance to student learning, suspension and detention for trivial reasons have no effect. They commit injustices and do not care about the harm caused to teenagers.
A great school
A good school that's on the up, despite what disgruntled parents and miserable ex-employees have been saying about it. Both my children go there and they love it: all the latest learning facilities, tech and sports equipment in this new-build (2019) establishment. Teachers and pastoral staff are very supportive. Every school has its problems although I can honestly say that I believe some of the negative reviews are akin to trolling. Keep going, Deanery!
This school was good
This was good until the head teacher left and this school has really gone down hill and some of the teachers are just rude.
The most stupid thing is that there is 2 uniform check a day like why are they so worried about uniforms when we go to school for education

Avoid like the plague
Unfortunately 1 star is the lowest I could rate! This school is absolutely horrendous, bullying is never sorted to the point children become suicidal then because that child cannot face school and the bullying anymore they threaten social services while offering no help to the child or to resolve it. They have absolutely no help for additional learning needs or nerodivergent children even when they say they will put things in place to help this never comes to light. Both t.a.m.s and c.h.a m.s mental health services have commented on their disgusting on how this school treats pupils and the lack of care and understanding from staff. Unless your child is a perfect a* student and confoms to a sheep mentality do not put them through this school. Headteachers have quit and teachers leaving constantly so you can never even see the same person to try and amend issues. I have yet to meet a parent that has anything good to say. Sending my child here was the worst choice I ever made.
Look elsewhere
Awful place. Should have gone elsewhere. Constant change of teachers. Bullying. Detentions given for minor reasons. A major let down.
Similar issues in Kingfisher c e academy.

don’t go to the deanery

Very dissapointed
Don't know where to start with complaining about The Deanery school in Swindon, there doesn't seem to be much discipline, and if they have an anti bullying policy it's not working. Broken doors in boys and girls toilets, reports of vaping, Teachers Lacking in skills academaly and morals. My Grandson attends this school so I have some knowledge of these problems , also from other parents. My grandson has been hurt on several occasions , and the schools answer seems to brush it under the carpet, and reward the bully . I am so dissapointed with the way this school is run. Perhaps they need stronger Leadership
