Discriminatory towards disabled, treats kids like prisoners

Such a terrible school, they completely discriminate disabled children, threaten parents and award bullying, ringing parents asking why the child is not in school when the child is actually in school this is one of the worst safeguarding issues ive ever experienced from a school as a parent what if a fire happens and the child is unaccounted for, do you realise how much panic a parent has when they receive a phonecall not once but 7 times in a 6 months period saying the school has lost your child then a few hours later saying ow sorry the child is in class our mistake. My child now has mental health issues. The school even told my child to turn off her disabilities when in school and can have her disabilities when my child has lunch and breaktime.

I would never recommend wallbottle academy and trying to contact the headteacher well you just got palmed off with someone else. Complaints went missing and threatening emails received.

The school needs teachers retrained and the academy should be shutdown.

You all should be ashamed of yourself treating kids like it's the army. Detention for children being off for hospital appointments, sending people to people's homes to force children into school instead of sorting the problem. A prison would be a better school.

And to top things off discriminating at dinnertime providing large portions to paying pupils and out pricing food for free school meal pupils getting £2.50 not paying enough so a child has to decide between a hot meal or a drink and desert. Offering morning snacks for children that can pay but again free school meal pupils being left out is not just unfair but classed as discrimination because the school is offering a service based on which family can afford it, the richer the family the better the service.

To sum it up terrible school that needs drastic action to sort things out.

Hate this place.

Absolutely hate this school. Teachers are mid. Canny rough. They don't do anything about homophobia, transphopia or rasism. Similarly if you get SA'd they probably won't do much as it has happened to a friend and the lad only got suspended for 2 days. There are few decent teachers though.

Disgusting school.

Currently a student at walbottle and they openly show that they do not care about students, most teachers are h0m0ph0bic and point blank rude / r4cist / s3xist. The amount of times that girls get treated badly from teachers especially Mr wright the head of year 9 is horrible. Mental Health is seriously neglected and they do not care if a student has anxiety, they push them aside and do not help whatsoever. It's a disgusting and horrible school. If you defend yourself, you're horrible. If you don't defend yourself, you're weak. It's honestly such a bad place. do not send your kids here.
