Thorns Collegiate Academy

worst school in Dudley, staff are horrible ,BMS is stupid , and the teachers ( BMS staff ) are always having ago at you for fuck all. if you refuse to give your phone to BMS ,Mr. sparks will talk to you and convince you to give them your phone ,if you still refuse they call your parents to come in and get your phone from you ,then you get put in BMS for the rest of the day, and might have a meeting with Mr. spark or Mr. Branton . the teachers and supply teacher ( where do they get the supply teachers from) are always send you out if you do 1 little thing wrong like not taking your coat of or when you get caught on your phone any where around the school. they have cameras facing inside the toilets and keep saying it was an accident and there only facing the toilets but there not they face inside the toilets. the food is disgusting, my mates friends cousin was given a moldy hotdog and didn't care about it. during lunch you need to wait outside in a line even though people ( year 11s) push in the line and by the time you go in there's no food left.
your not allowed to have your phone out at all throughout the day. you start at 8:40 and finish at 3:25 and always get kept back by that one teacher. the head of English is one of the worst heads ever ( my opinion ) I got sent to BMS this once for my English lesion and he gave me some work I didn't get it I was then told that I still need to do the work even I didn't get it. you can only write in black or blue pen no other colors i also wrote in purple because that's the color i feel comfortable writing in the most. The school is one of the worst schools i hate the school I don't recommend sending your kids to this school if you want them to get bullied and the school do nothing about it then go ahead. ( i was told to go and kill myself and i reported it and they said they that they will put him in BMS for the day but they never did.) the learning environment is rank there's gum under the table and they have band pride flags saying that its distracting to others even though it was during pride month. there are rarely any good after school clubs that everyone enjoys.

The school has harsh teacher. There is a place people go if they are naughty called BMS they are basically saying we all have behaviour management what I don't like because the school don't care if u get bulled in or out of the school the only good thing is the students have a sense of humour and the food is good and they got id of all the nice teachers what I don't like we have the worst head teachers and during first section the school gets people to read even if they don't want to they force u to do things u don't want to do and get sent out of class for nothing and the Extra 25 min of school it does nothing. The teachers don't let u go to the toilet during lessons and at break you hardly get to go to the toilet because there is always a cut even though there are over 20 toilets. At lunch they get us to line up out side just to get in to the lunch and brunch plus's even if your sick u can't go home they don't let u. The school uniform is horrible and if u have your shirt untooked 3 times u get one hour detention on Friday. They care more about u being in class and not your mental health.the schools therapist is horrible and cams is really bad and don't help with any of your problems happening inside or outside of school. DONT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE WORST SCHOOL IN DUDLEY

Head teacher kicked my daughter out this school in year 11 for something we proved she did not do. Well she went to college done business and has a job in accounts at a big company so all at that school can kiss her ass nobody wanted to help at that school when she needed it the most !!!!!

BMS was always used as a scare tactic and the outside and inside areas were always too crowded. Only one place to stay inside if it’s cold so very difficult to stay warm throughout the day, since becoming an academy the outdoor space became smaller and two places to sit and eat were closed so it felt like you lacked freedom and couldn’t enjoy a calmer and quieter atmosphere. It always felt as if they cared more about the younger years and everything felt very unorganised. Sometimes felt that you were not an individual but a statistic and appearance was all that mattered. Although there were many great teachers some lacked any passion and just did the bare minimum and used textbooks rather than engaging students.

Bad school, gone down hill since new academy trust. They don't care about students just money. Care more about your looks than your works. They moved all the good teachers to sister schools leaving behind ones who can't teach to save their life. If you're a chav and popular its great.
