The John Wallis Church of England Academy

My family and I moved from Germany to the UK when I was 12, and this was the first school I went to. On the very first day, a much older child made a joke to me about my German heritage. This continued with many kids, bullying me very severely over that, making jokes about Hi*ler etc. The bullying got so bad, that I stopped speaking. I developed an eating disorder too. I was not able to make friends, and spent every single breaktime by myself. Furthermore, I distinctly remember regularly doing sports lessons outside, in the coldest of winter, whilst the warm building nearby was empty. This was especially hard as an underweight child with an eating disorder. Very unethical and questionable. The children were truly evil and horrible, we complained to the teachers but nothing was done. Ultimately, the bullying got so bad, we had to leave the school after a year. Would absolutely not recommend, very very bad place. Also they no longer accept google reviews. Hmm interesting..

They let all the naughty children get away with everything. They like to pick on certain students. Miss Emily White bumlicks the bad children, but when it comes to the good ones she comes for them when they talk once in her classroom. As someone who has seen the sixth form. The head Miss Powell is extremely bossy, and is such a control freak. She also picks and chooses who she wants to complain at. If she gave the same energy, maybe she would be alright, but she needs to tone it down a bit. I used to respect her so much until she started letting a whole bunch of girls get away with disrespecting her, and treats everyone else like trash. She should be taken away from year head, and a more fairer person like Miss Meredith should be put on, due to her keeping the same energy with everyone, no matter what

Girls look like chavvy whores. Boys are feral. Stanhope and south Ashford nearby and the horrendous denizens of there send their spawn here.

This school is fairly strict, teachers can be helpful in some cases but completly usless in others. Unnecessary rules(uniform) hair, for boys, above the collar, shoes need to be black AND polishble and lots more. Decent school could be less strict but with basic obvious rules. This school is a bit on the larger size as we have 3 main buildings, 2 playgrounds, 2 big fields and more. If you are coming through the gate opposite the mcolls the walk is about 5 minutes depending on how many people are walking in/out. Next year some rules will be changing with the uniform and times so please look out the them changes. Best of luck looking for a new school in Ashford!
