The school is treated like a business over a school and children are treated like prisoners rather than actual human-beings. It is an environment that treats the students with very little respect (e.g. locking the toilets during lesson times, as if it's not a natural bodily function). They have nonsensical and arbitrary rules that are there to make pupils obey authority rather than foster a safe learning environment. The teachers are invasive and see any action as deserving punishment rather than viewing issues pupils are having in more nuanced ways. If anyone from the school actually reads this I would recommed that you actually treat the students with human decency as you would any other adult in your life (as children are not below you just because they are younger than you), and to view the students as real people beyong just trouble-makers. It seems like teachers at this school don't actually like children, and I can guarantee that teachers would have a more enjoyable experience teaching if students were actually treated with respect and understanding.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"The culture and environment here is absolutely terrible, do whatever you possibly can to avoid sending your child here and to any Harris Academy for that matter.

That could be because of the pupil's home life or because of actual problems in school.

Don't take it too personal but if you want this school to carry on being the best then you have to change it. I would give this 0 stars but that's harsh so I put 1 star. Apart from all the bad stuff the school is actually a good place I love the good things about it and the teachers who are actually nice and care about your education.
