Heyford Park School

Bad

Some of the playgrounds are dirty and not maintained. The area around the school has not been cleaned in over a year. Some of the playgrounds have broken chairs, wood, and just mud, whatever grass there is has not been cut, weeds and leaves that has fallen off of the trees everywhere, no re-seeding of grass areas, when it the right time of year to re-seed, the plant pots have minimal flours in them, there is a large mud hole in the middle of a playground area, major trip hazard.They then allow the very young kids to play in this area. The school has had a bad Ofsted report and there is no evidence of this improving. I have heard of Pupils leaving and moved to different schools due to being bullied and the school not taking any action on this. Some of the drop off areas have cars permanently parked in them, due to the layout parents and students/pupils are forced to walk through car parked areas and on the road, running the risk of being run over or injured. Some of the menus are repetitive and on one day, only one type of hot meal is allowed. Some of the teachers are really good, work well with the children. You would have thought that with all of the available time with kids not at school then they would have sorted out the image of the school, instead it looks like it's more in decay. A lot of the parents park of double yellow lines around the school gates and the school does nothing to tackle the safety of the children in these cases. Some parents cannot park in a parking space properly and take up 2 spaces .
