Dilkes Academy

Head teacher is impossible to reach for a meeting. Not suited as a head teacher, moved up the ranks too fast. The school themselves use bully tactics to overrule parents. The ego is huge. They cannot supply school policies when requested. Would prefer to dismiss and abuse their power. Use interrogation tactics on students. There is no colour around the school, closer to a clinical, white walled psyche ward from the 1900s with the attitude to suit. keep students in during their breaks to catch up on work on the same week the student went to their Nanas funeral. This school is in major need of a full government audit and a management restructure. A school should not be allowed to get away and operate in the way that Dilkes does. Disgraceful, discriminative, no care for special needs. They are only after top performers and will throw others under the bus to get to where they want to be. This school needs a complete reform, starting from the top.

Definitely the best school in Thurrock, my daughters are happy hear and have achieved a lot in their learning. The school had live lessons during lockdowns and continue to do so when a bubble is shutdown due to positive covid 19. I couldn't wish for a better school for my girls.The staff are all amazing and the school is brilliantly managed .
