Very good ucl 🍑🍑🍑🥩🥩🥩

Traumatized
This school does not do anything about bullies. Actually they protect bullies. We had to contact Police, social services, because the school could not handle the situation. My daughter had horrible 5years. High stuff turnover, my daughter did not have biology teacher half of the year when she was year 11. After daughter graduated the school, they contacted me why we did not chose UCL 6th form! It so bad, almost laughable. We have been so traumatized by this school.
Ppl say its bad
Ppl say it's bad cus it's so true and it's so so poor
Don't send your child here
You literally learn nothing there but the fact that teachers don't care about learning
UCL NEEDS CHANGE!
Don’t go here in a kid who goes UCL and I wish I were dead the teachers dont care about you opinions or mental health they just want you to keep working and working they even give kids a hard time when you want to do something as little as get some water I would rather shoot myself with an AK-47 than go here
UCL needs to change
In a kid who goes to UCL Academy and I have Special Education cause of my emotions I don’t suggest going here I have Been in such a bad mental state since I got here and the teacher try to take advantage of me because I can’t explain myself. Please don’t go here I’d rather shoot my self with an AR-15 than go here
absolutely horrendous
tapped fr id rather shoot myself with an rpg
Horrific, awful school
My cousin was beaten and bullied every day at school. His gang of bullies would corner him outside of local shops and harass him, shove him etc. The school did NOTHING at all to stop this and even at times would actively disregard the severity of the situation. My cousing has gone from once happy, healthy boy who played cricket weekly and had a circle of friends into a clinically diagnosed boy with PTSD, anxiety and obesity as a result of him quitting all his sports and staying inside. This school as ruined his life irreparably. Through not only the bullying but the apathy of the school, with the senior leaders sweeping instances of bullying hnder the rug, i have seen my cousin lose passions for everything he once held dear. This school has ruined his life and has forced him to suffer in silence, whe the school turned the other way. If there is any, any concern for your child’s safety, i beg you, just so you dont have to repeat what my family went through- DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL!
Terrible
My son went here and had a horrible experience.
Please, do not come here
Unfortunately, this school has single handedly been the worst thing for my child's mental state and health. The levels of bullying and discrimination here, against a lot of minorities, despite being supposedly forward-thinking, as it is sponsored by UCL, are absolutely unacceptable. Student culture is incredibly offensive, and slurs are said on the daily. Students in minorities, especially those that are LGBTQ or disabled are likely to receive a lot of bullying and harassment and will not enjoy school. A lot of staff including leadership are complacent to this. The atmosphere in classrooms is disruptive and often content is missed out on and not covered due to poor planning. To achieve here it seems students have to fully take learning into their own hands.
Avoid
Terrible school, absolutely awful at managing mental illness/neurodiversity. Students are all unhappy
Bullying is rife
This school has some pretty good facilities and education, however the level of bullying is astronomical and the culture here is negative. If you are remotely different from anyone else, you are guaranteed to be bullied by the asshole pupils that attend this school. The school is dominated by students with closed minds who disrupt lessons. Fights are common here. Students who are remotely different (especially lgbtq) are bullied disproportionately while the school does virtually nothing about it. Misogynistic comments are common and overlooked. Teacher bias is a big issue. It is very disorganised in terms of admin and on multiple occasions exams, trips and other things have been cancelled due to what seems like pure laziness. This school is absolutely unprogressive despite being related to UCL. Quality of education is greatly hindered by the school atmosphere. It was rated ‘needs improvement’ by ofsted in terms of behaviour. If the behaviour here was better, and students were more respectful, the school would be incredible,
