But not many schools in the UK give iPads to their students. The iPad is just seen as a doss and the students think that the device will give them the grade 9's. It a a GREAT distraction for all.

The school is self is quite big and looks like a high standard school. The school only seems to care about Technology and Sports.

They let children do what they like. The children do not learn what they should be learning and they think this is ok. The idea of giving iPads to the whole school is debatable. But not many schools in the UK give iPads to their students. The iPad is just seen as a doss and the students think that the device will give them the grade 9's. It a a GREAT distraction for all. Therefore this school is not getting the standards for the GCSE. The staff don't seem to do anything about this and don't really seem to care. Education is needed for the children to get their dream job and whatever they want in he futures. You basically have to learn yourself if your child is sent at this school. This is why we highly recommend not to send your child at Essa Academy unless you want to see them out on the streets with no job or life!\n\nFacilities:\n\nYes as we all know this school has great facilities. The school is self is quite big and looks like a high standard school. The school only seems to care about Technology and Sports. Especially for the Year 9 -11 they need start to focus on GCSE and on their English, Math and Science. This is why children need to focus very hard at home to catch up. But we know some children will not revise. This is why we recommend sending your children to a school that actually really cares about education. Try Bolton School or the Tauheedul Schools.\n\nOverall:\n\nI give 2\/5.
