Bishop Ellis Catholic Voluntary Academy

We have 2 children who attend this school. There are some great teachers and my children have been very happy here. However, we have had some concerns regarding the head teacher over the last year, which we raised with the governors.
My 8yo son has started having behavioural issues during the past school year, which seemed to begin with being bullied (although this went unnoticed). He began to self-harm and is now seeing a social worker to help with his anxiety. We have requested for the behaviour policy to be made transparent for parents, as it is very open to interpretation, but the school and the governors said it wasn't possible to list examples of what they class as extreme behaviour. We feel let down by the school and the governors and we are now very concerned about our son's mental health, which drastically worsens in term time.

I previously played an active part in the PTA, giving up many hours of my personal time, but I now feel unable to carry this on due to our poor relationship with the head teacher.

We are hopeful that with a new co-head in the new school year, things will improve for our son as his anxiety has already improved during the summer holidays.

Alright time to explain. This school is the perfect place to get started after nursery or something like that. First of all the teachers are amazing not to lie. The visualisers are high quality not to mention the great learning. The learning there is great theres D and T,R.E., english, maths and some more stuff to learn about. The teachers provide you with a ton of learning everyday

My kids love this school every day they are happy to come to school good learning good teachers there good service well done guys.
