The Academy at Shotton Hall

I studied here until I moved out of pure hatred, it was horrible, if you're a parent please do not send your child here, they only care about image, they will give out the image of professionalism but when you boil down to a typical students experience, it's normally something along the lines of being unheard, ignored and just overall, having a terrible time. The expectations of the students was too ridiculous there was no support for any student whatsoever. The staff there seem to be the most horrible people ever, and if you're not someone who can show potential of being famous or bettering their image, you're cast aside like a social outcast, it's disappointing. My whole experience there was very depressing and had a serious impact on my mental health to this day. Please, save your child the mental anguish and find another school. I reiterate THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT IMAGE, NOT THE STUDENTS WELL BEING.

would never send my child here; worst 5 years of my life. Some teachers are okay but the majority of them absolutely have bias for and against certain students. Pastoral 'care' is an absolute joke. They do not care about the students they care about statistics and if that child isn't making them look better, they may as well not be there. They do not care about mental health, invisible disabilities or general struggles among students, all that matters to them is the grades. Overall just felt very dismissed for the entire 5 years I spent here.
