The Academy @ Ridgewood Trust - Ridgewood School

Not sure about this school, some teachers seem to be on a power trip with BFL and constantly handing out punishments for very minor things.

I cant believe how a school can get away with treating some children so badly. Just be aware when sending your child to this school, of their new behaviour policy which includes your chid receiving c1 c2 c3 then c4s, c4 being the worst. Some children are noting that teachers are abusing the system, and being punished for instances that didn't exactly happen. Children have a right to appeal, but none of the appeals succeed... In lessons childrens hands are being ignored when asking important questions about their work, and some teachers are just rotten. When you phone the school to ask for an appointment to speak regarding situations, you leave a message, then no one rings you back. I have read, to be very wary of Academy Schools, I would recommend reading about them before making your choice of school. I hope more parents write reviews about this school then maybe the problem will be looked at. Im sure there are parents out there with exceptional children, that most teachers like and therefore this wont be a problem for you, but I know this isn't the case a lot of the time!! On a lighter note some of the teachers are lovely!! Maybe those teachers should be giving lessons on how to treat children to some of the staff!
