The Roseland Academy

Used to have a quiz on Fridays, removed that for PSHE. Used to be kind with homework, if you accidentally miss it (even if you were in hospital, for example) you get a B- and then a detention. Food providers need to be sorted out, as the food has made some students ill (especially on christmas dinner day).

The Roseland is a great school that gets great results. If you work hard and don't spoil learning for others you will do well. Some of these reviews are from students and parents who didn't do that and it is always someone else's fault...

Absolute disgrace, school toilet doors are forced open, along with cameras pointing into the boy toilets reflecting at a mirror so they can see urinals. School isn’t taking into account the lack of communication with students, they rate themselves as a non bullying school but there’s been countless instances that haven’t been solved and has been reported on multiple occasions. What they do is they hide the truth behind the school with isolation and detentions, they have things they don’t show to the public and only show very certain information to make themselves look good, as a student here I feel like I’m not learning anything due to the teachers not caring and the lack of mental support and understanding in this school, they advertise that they are the best school in Cornwall, If that’s the best thing Cornwall has to offer I may as well be homeschooled. My rating is horrendous.

The Roseland Academy is frankly built on superficial bullshit. From the outside it looks amazing: a beautiful school where all children achieve, where opportunities are endless and the environment is respected. I’m afraid a lot of it is lies, most of it even. The school staff seem to have no care for the quality of things of which the public cannot see, only those which make them look as if they’re the best fucking school in all of Cornwall. If you’re a minority your experience is going to be not only horrific, but completely ignored by any form of authority. At the roseland academy, anything from sexual harassment to death threats is acceptable as long as teachers can pretend they didn’t see it. Nazis are free to roam the halls, express their racist opinions and even be entertained by staff. Upon complaining about any of this, a member of staff will set up a meeting with you to tell you that nothing can be done about this and it’s best to come to a compromise that will not benefit you in any way. If you’re mentally ill, you might as well have already killed yourself because none of the staff are prepared to deal with you. If they don’t think they can fix you in the short term they are not going to like you, and if you have no support in your home life then this system will break you.
The school’s big eco reputation is also a massive bullshit lie as well (who would have thought! /s). Upon joining their climate action team, you will be presented with the current plan to help the school be eco friendly: quality for an award that they can boast about on their social media. It basically doesn’t mean shit because it asks questions like “are there fair trade biscuits in the staff room?” despite the blatant lack of vegan options in the canteen that could definitely be seen as more direct action. Speaking of the canteen food, it’s absolutely grim. The only thing I can ever bring myself to buy is a bread roll. Overall I feel let down, there are so many great aspects of this school that would be appreciated so much more if it weren’t for these aspects of which ruin experiences for a large group of people within the school.

Roseland School is an excellent option for your children as their teachers are high quality and really love their job. Your child is guaranteed to be a high achiever by coming to this school. Definitely rises high above the other schools within Truro.
