Consistently over the course of his entire school life he had amazing reports and his behaviour was always great. I still have those reports to remind me that he was once a happy kid doing well. These days I get reports that he\u00e2\u0080\u0099s had a \u00e2\u0080\u0098strike\u00e2\u0080\u0099 for this or that.

My son has always been well presented but now has to have overgrown hair so he fits in with their ideal, it looks a lot more untidy than when he has it done properly.\nAfter looking around HTA, I knew it was soulless. A place soaks up everything that happens within its walls and then exudes it like sweat; consequently some places give off a happy vibe, this is not one of them. The atmosphere is grey and uptight. Receiving an education here means giving up happiness and laughter. Unfortunately this has the knock on effect that happiness and laughter, even when outside of school, are harder to summon. The majority of staff (not all, I have spoken to a couple who are lovely) here are not on the human level at all - they see the pupils as army recruits who should stand to attention as and when they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re commanded to. They\u00e2\u0080\u0099re not allowed to express any individuality whatsoever. The school seem to work on the premise that every child is going to go into the military. I attribute the lack of humanity to the leadership, the staff likely feel the same way as the kids and so fall inline & then take out their frustrations on the kids. Detentions are handed out frequently, again usually for petty infractions. One detention my son was in had 49 other children present.\nIsolation is another issue. I don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t believe isolating children should even be a thing especially in this modern age. They already have to work in silence in the classroom, just another example of their militant attitude.\nMy son was punished for asking a question as it was deemed inappropriate. I was always brought up being encouraged to ask questions and I encourage my children to do the same. They are there to learn after all!\nThere is a homework club which costs \u00c2\u00a350 per term, I am yet to establish what the cost is for. They aren\u00e2\u0080\u0099t fed or given a drink and it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s run mainly by sixth form students who don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t get paid for their time. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s the only school I know of that charges for extra curricular work. Thomas Telford school (which HTA strives to compare itself to as you will be aware if you have attended the talk given on open evenings) has a multitude of after school classes none of which are chargeable. Abraham Darby & Madeley Academy are the same. In fact the number of extra curricular activities available at all the other schools in our locality, compared to HTA, is amazing. My son used to be very good at drums, he has played since he was very young and used to have lessons at primary school. This isn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t something that is available here and if it were he wouldn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t be able to attend due to having received a \u00e2\u0080\u0098strike\u00e2\u0080\u0099 that week *insert eye roll*.\nYou may wonder why my child is still at this school. Unfortunately at the time of choosing, this school was on our doorstep and we lost the appeal for another school. I would love nothing more than for him to move but he has made friends & doesn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t want to disrupt his friendships & he himself reasons that in a few years he will be gone (he definitely won\u00e2\u0080\u0099t be going to sixth form here)\nMy daughter leaves primary this year and is NOT going to HTA.\nAs another parent reviewer stated, it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s heartbreaking seeing your child unhappy.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I have a child at this school.\nWhen he was at primary school he was a happy clever bright and bubbly boy with a big personality; he never once didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t want to go to school or got upset or complained.

He gave me two 2hr detentions (yes, 2 hours) for my haircut. I have short, shaven sides and long on top. The staff claimed my hair was inappropriate and extreme but it isn't. Anyway, the food is good but in tiny amounts and the overall atmosphere is that of a prison. Strikes are given out for the stupidest of things. I'm so glad my younger brother and I are transferring to a different school. Good riddance to bad waste.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Absolutely awful here.

A place soaks up everything that happens within its walls and then exudes it like sweat; consequently some places give off a happy vibe, this is not one of them. The atmosphere is grey and uptight. Receiving an education here means giving up happiness and laughter. Unfortunately this has the knock on effect that happiness and laughter, even when outside of school, are harder to summon. The majority of staff (not all, I have spoken to a couple who are lovely) here are not on the human level at all - they see the pupils as army recruits who should stand to attention as and when they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re commanded to. They\u00e2\u0080\u0099re not allowed to express any individuality whatsoever. The school seem to work on the premise that every child is going to go into the military. I attribute the lack of humanity to the leadership, the staff likely feel the same way as the kids and so fall inline & then take out their frustrations on the kids. Detentions are handed out frequently, again usually for petty infractions. One detention my son was in had 49 other children present.\nIsolation is another issue. I don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t believe isolating children should even be a thing especially in this modern age. They already have to work in silence in the classroom, just another example of their militant attitude.\nMy son was punished for asking a question as it was deemed inappropriate. I was always brought up being encouraged to ask questions and I encourage my children to do the same. They are there to learn after all!\nThere is a homework club which costs \u00c2\u00a350 per term, I am yet to establish what the cost is for. They aren\u00e2\u0080\u0099t fed or given a drink and it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s run mainly by sixth form students who don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t get paid for their time.

My son used to be very good at drums, he has played since he was very young and used to have lessons at primary school.
