    Never go westbourne academy!

    Westbourne never go ! They treat you badly. Don't care about your education or wellbeing They only care about uniform and telling people off . Teachers are barely in have subs most of the time ( once again no learning). I wouldn't put your child in that situation ever cause all they do is fail you !

    Stay away if you value your child and their experiences

    Poor school. You have a handful of great teachers who are pulled into a toxic environment where they are not allowed to help children and are silenced. A particular head of house is undermined by SLT when all he wants is the best for the students. Unfortunately the academy and what schools are do not match. They are failing pupils, illegally suspending, failing in administration and some teachers are bully’s resulting in mental health challenges for students. The whole school needs seriously sorting out before they damage more students health

    RAW CHICKEN FOR SCHOOL MEALS.

    I would like to inform that the school is bang out of order for serving RAW CHICKEN which has given a student of your school FOOD POISONING and has now ended up in A&E Hospital at late at night rather than in bed sleeping and now is at risk of missing our school. This is absolutely unacceptable !!!! How could a school lead to something like this which has now caused a bad health for a student let alone put them in hospital !! Your school is full of bad comments and this isn’t the first bad revie...

    Don’t go

    I’m in year 8 and the school don’t get nothing sorted yet they say they do the don’t except autistic people being themselves as soon as I do one thing wrong. It’s an immediate C3 what then gives them a half an hour detention the score of the complete a dump I never properly solved the brick incident when someone got bashed my head with a brick what the caretakers left out rubbish everywhere from the students, someone who got sexually harassed and never sorted that out. They just told the person to stay away from them they act all nice and start the teachers as soon as the first me some than after that they get worse and worse as one of My friends that used to go. There is now having to leave because most of the problems are happening from that school. and the food they say to eat healthy for all the food you get in the cafeteria it’s just junk food just about the only good thing at the school is the Sen help but even then you don’t get it immediately after constantly ask, yeah don’t go to the school you’ll just regret it

    Horrible.

    I Dont even go here but I live nearby, my older brother used to go There and he was going to fail everything in his exams now in under a year he’s getting fours. That’s amazing I’m improvement and just shows it’s the school not him. I have multiple friends in year 11 or first year colledge and hate Westbourne and can’t wait to leave, I personally think Westbourne is awful because of the disrespect. I can’t walk home from school without at least 1 Westbourner saying something, usually about my self harm scars, or I’m openly pansexual and they call me a faggot. Like learn some respect? I don’t wanna deal w it anymore.

    Terrible - wouldn’t recommend

    Bro the school should be even get one star I’m being generous. They allowed students at the school to be openly homophobic and racist and wouldn’t get in trouble but if your uniform is slightly wrong you will get a day in inclusion. The teachers are rude . The school also say they are good for mental health. They are terrible never send your children here if they have mental health issues . Children sh in the toilets during lesson as the school is that bad for them . The uniform is also awful . Ok that’s j some reasons the school is a shambles - ex student

    it's a bad school?

    i was moved down from top set to third set (even though i was doing my work and the guy did no work at all and got sent out of everything lesson) bc i swore at this guy who was calling me "faggot" because im gay like.... where's the logic?? they didnt even give him a punishment. also i had hair dye which the exact same girl had and they gave me isolation but her no punishment.
