The Leigh UTC

I have been here a week AND I LOVE IT!!!!! Everybody is so kind the teachers and the students, if I hadn’t chose the inspiration academy as my school I probably would’ve been very depressed

I went to this college for two years during my a levels and it was a great experience. It was a small college so the teachers gave us lots of one on one time and were very supportive.

They helped massively with my studies and now I'm at university which is far better than I ever thought I could have gone.

Awful school with poor organisation. I spent 5 years of my education here and was severely let down. Some teachers are great, but the lack of challenging work and the school mainly focusing on students with lower grades meant higher performing students were left alone. Few to none extra curricular opportunities. Bias and favouritism from teachers, with patronising leaders. Only had 1 sports day (across 5 years). No sports teams (minus the occasional football match). Teacher over-inflating predicted grades. Students were banned from leaving bottom floor during breaks, meaning no access to areas for studying. If you want your child to have a fulfilling education then do not send them here.

Terrible school full of bullying with little to no consequence, if your children have any special needs I would advise you to avoid this school at all costs as they will not be cared for, many parents are trying to get there children moved out of here, miss Grimwade is as good as useless, complaints don't get followed up.

Disgraceful school, miss grimwade needs to pull her finger out. There's a reason the child attendance level is so low, TO MUCH BULLYING,. Make sure you record all calls with this school as they are liars! They will tell you 1 thing then when you mention it they back track and start saying we didn't say that, they cant/ won't safeguard your children and when you stop sending them in all you get is threats of fines all they care about is there attendance level with no regards to the children or there parents. PLEASE AVOID SENDING YOUR CHILDREN HERE IF YOU VALUE THERE SAFETY AND EDUCATION.

My grandson was bullied from the moment he started the school. He is now in year 8 and nothing has changed and it has got to the staged where he isn't going to school.
The head teacher, Miss Grimwade, is an absolute disgrace and does nothing except talk her way out of it. More worried about attendance figures than the welfare of the children.

My experience was superb! I was welcomed by the lovely teachers staff and including the amazing receptionist. Unfortunately I had that one of them Ms Maria has left little did I know her but her tender support was great she treated me as if we had known each other for long. Also Mr Freeman he is a wonderful teacher who took us around and through.

Was a great school when my son joined in year 7. But since then it has seriously gone down hill my son is finally in year 11 and he honestly can't wait to leave. The teachers can't handle most children specially the ones with behaviour problems the school throws detention at kids just coz the feel like it. Children in Classes are very disruptive and don't get sent out so the children that actually want to learn can. I find alot of the staff extremely rude. If children need help the teachers don't give instead when they ask for help they get detention. And then told to do there work in detention. Good luck to any new kids going here. Would not recommend this school. They don't help the children who suffered severe anxiety in regards to hoing back to school during covid instead they throw court fines and all sorts at you. They have no compassion for those poor kids who really did suffer.
