The Priory Academy LSST

My experience with the London School of Science and Technology has raised significant concerns. While the institution claims to provide quality education, several troubling observations cast doubt on its integrity.

There appear to be issues with professional conduct among both staff and students. Allegations of inappropriate activities, including a culture of alcohol abuse and misconduct, are unsettling and paint an unfavorable image of the campus environment. Such behaviors are wholly inappropriate for an academic institution and undermine the values of learning and growth.

Additionally, there are accusations regarding questionable financial practices, such as misusing student finance systems. Reports of staff allegedly coaching students to exaggerate disabilities to claim higher allowances warrant serious investigation. This not only reflects poorly on the institution but also compromises the legitimacy of those genuinely in need of support.

Academic standards are also a concern. Reports of lecturers with limited English proficiency and claims of staff completing assignments for students challenge the credibility of the degrees offered. Academic excellence relies on maintaining ethical standards, and any deviation from this can harm both current students and alumni.

It’s vital that such concerns are thoroughly addressed by the appropriate authorities to uphold the integrity of higher education and ensure that institutions genuinely serve their purpose as centers of knowledge and development.

This school has an excellent reputation for teaching and results. As a consequence it’s the school of choice for high achieving pupils. The standard of teaching on the whole is very good. The Head and Senior Management put out the message that they have high standards and expectations for behaviour. In reality this is just a lot of hot air. There is an extremely toxic culture of bullying in all years within the school. There are no proper processes or sanctions to effectively deal with negative behaviour. It seems they will deal with poor performance but don’t really care about bullying. Even when issues are raised the response is unprofessional and pathetic.
My children have both been subjected to sustained negative behaviour. I have witnessed it regularly when visiting the school. As the pupils leave there are groups intimidating single pupils, beating them, spitting at them, verbally abusing them. It seems out of control.

London School of Science and Technology (LSST) in the West Midlands has been a huge disappointment. The lecturers often lack English fluency, even though they claim to hold Master’s and PhDs, which makes understanding lessons very challenging. They are unhelpful and rude, often dismissing students' requests for support with comments like, 'You came for the money, so why do you need support? You’ll get paid.' This attitude shows a lack of professionalism and understanding of student needs.

The environment here feels unwelcoming and even hostile at times, making it difficult to focus on learning. If you’re looking for a place that offers quality education and support, LSST is not it. Avoid this school if you want a meaningful and positive learning experience.

A hateful place. Bullying is rife and out of control. The facilities and teachers are great but the atmosphere and pupil to pupil interaction is horrid. My child has been removed.
