Wigston Academy needs a big change
This place is quite bad and I hate it. First of all I don't feel safe. The school has changed the five minute early pass to two minutes. Five minutes was perfect to leave lesson five minute early to go to next lesson without the crowds and you could go to lunch and break five minutes early and go home five minutes early but two minutes is basically useless. Only golden tickets let you go five minutes early but you get them often and with it you go five minutes early to either lunch or break. I do think the toilet passes are good though, I did refuse the two minute early pass because I think that it is useless. People are mean to me but I don't tell teachers because I don't feel safe doing so. So please Wigston Academy. Fix your school.
Could be better
The school always says it promotes anti bullying and help for all and yet for the people that need it you have to ask teachers which sometimes won’t even come back to talk. People have been wrongly punished when other people are at fault or both are and most of the time this isn’t investigated further. The schools ways of dealing with issues often doesn’t work and causes more and there are not enough school council meetings so students can’t get there point across to the teachers. you have to go on a deep dive to even get any of the schools rules and policies meaning students never really get to learn them.
Terrible school
It was not a good school at all, they dotn care about your education at all, they said everyones mental health matters but they make it bad. They don't let children use toilets and lock them during lessons - its ridiculous for girls and anyone in fact to not be allowed to go toilet
Choose another place
They aren’t able to take care of situations properly, overpriced school meals that aren’t great; takes them a long time to sort bullying out. Absolutely terrible- Don’t recommend this kind of school
Drugs , violence in my school
During school I have had sexual and physical abuse in which when I told the teachers did nothing . My head of year claims there is no drug or smoking problem in our school in which there is , there are things I have witnessed such as drug dealing and abuse , these drugs have been dealt to children as young as 12 and lower . The school ignores u when u say you are struggling with mental health and simply just say it will get better !
Bad experience
Going to this school was the worst experience of my life. There were a few good teachers and that was it. The merge ruined it
Adequate learning experience , appalling sexist culture nothing done to control harassment etc.

The rest are useless
All the good teachers left when it merged and it went downhill
