Gloucester Academy

I think this school is a great place to learn. The staff is always cheerful and so nice, they always greet you with a huge smile. Teachers are mostly very helpful and always willing to go through things that the students might struggle with. I believe that the EAL team deserves special acknowledgement as they deliver an enormous amount of help and support to the students from other countries. I was one of them, and without the ladies from the EAL team I would not be able to achieve so much. I cannot express in words how grateful I am.
However, there is a reason why I decided to give the school only 4/5 stars. I believe I am not the only one who faced multiple problems with cash machines in school. On multiple occasions I experienced problems with them, as the machine took my money without changing the balance on my account. Every time I reported a problem, people responsible for these machines stated that the machine had not register my money, therefore they were unable to give them back. This resulted in me not only loosing money but ending up hungry without lunch for the rest of the day.

This school is so bad that it needs to get shut down First of all, idk ur name but that 1 pe teacher that eats viniger chips at break bro where am I supposed to get a headband if I don't have 1? I'm asking ppl and u have 1 in ur pocket 😐 why is all the pe teachers so rude? AlsocTell the English teacher to fix his handwriting his b's are looking like g's. They literally care SO MUCH about uniform and u get warnings for the most minor things possible like looking at the window or holding ur pen. This needs to stop 😕

Support a career event, found staff helpful and polite. Thought the school was well structured. And found the students pleasant to talk to, interested in what was being talked about.

I find a lot of their policies are out of date and over the top like the uniform and hair cuts!!!.,..they are terrible on informing you on things that are important to you about your child! And the teachers are terrible and they have had more head teachers than I ve had hot dinners. The GREENSHAW GROUP OR WHATEVER THEY ARE CALLED should be stripped of running schools!!!!!

I believe that there is not alot if freedom in the school and it becomes more and more like a primary school they care about your uniform and hair and their BAGs more than they do most things the school do try with the education but they need to get rid of a few teachers i.e Mr Wheatley miss maheater Mr Thomas as they constantly speak to students in a rude matter or that is the way I have personally perceived it as .

Absolutely outrageous why is no one taking any action to shut this school down. The teachers are blackmailers the kids do whatever they want and the schools just mainly Focused on school uniform. My next door neighbour went to that school and was stabbed in the eye with a pencil
Teachers need to take more responsibility otherwise the school is going to shut down

Overall school is good but since i joined yr8 and my tutor/math teacher joined just because she thinks she can send me rfl once she can do it everytime for no reson, other teachers are amazing like miss wheatstone and mr ellis etc but miss jonnasson is the new teacher, i am completely annoyed as she thinks she can put me in rfl every day bit im not having that, if it happens anymore im leaving.
Overall its a good school.

They care more about school uniform then education
, and it seems like a common theme throughout the school. The most important judgement for a school is its ability to teach not only education but to teach children how to behave, this is not the place for that in my opinion, looking at how they have handled many uniform related problems.... Look for another school, don’t ruin your children’s future.
