Outwood Academy Kirkby, Kirkby in Ashfield | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

honestly, I’d wish I have given this school an unfortunate 0 stars, but this is the worst school I’ve visited so far since it does feature a series of bullying and had a hard time just getting along with it. Not only that, they yet fail to achieve their expectations and the school pupils have not only been hoping to make their friends but only to be picked on later the day. The headteacher will have to do something about this matter since this place is more of like a mental asylum if I’m being brutally honest.

Ok so I am going to state my honest opinion on this school. When I left primary school I thought “oh great Kirkby college is going to be a really good, fun, educating school with less bullies” but I was proven wrong. I didn’t mind the school in the first year in year 7 because we could use phones, do more things, it was more fun and educating. In year 8 this got a lot worse. The teachers didn’t teach us to the best ability they could of teach us too (not all teachers just some). When we got into year 9 they said “hand in this work from lockdown” but I didn’t bother doing it. Why? Well, they took back their words they told everybody which is very disappointing for them. This is showing that they clearly didn’t care about lockdown. Then we go to Year 11. In year 11 there was ALOT of mistakes from teachers. What I mean by this is, my English teacher went pregnant which yeah fair enough have the time of for that but, for the first few months they just kept giving us supply teachers. We all know supply teachers are USELESS. Further into year 11, they mentioned that they are getting new people taking over the school called “Outwood” and in my mind I thought “they are finally going to do something about this school” but I was wrong. They did NOTHING about this school. They just made it WORSE. I think this is really pathetic. Also, due to “A” student they locked the BOYS and the GIRLS toilets. Now, this is just stupid. Yes, a student did something unreasonable which they shouldn’t have done but why does everyone have to suffer the consequences from one student? This school does not deserve any rating and I recommend you NOT to come here.

its impossible for a one star.
so if your going too send your child too this school or visit I wouldn’t cus’ when a visitor isnt their they arent the best i know beacuse im a student their i have had my head lodged into a brick wall and what did they do they called my parents half an hour later i had a concusion for 2 weeks , and too to put the cream on the cupcake i was chocked by that very sed person who gave me a concusion what did they do expelled her for a week they didnt exclude her no .
still i wouldnt suggest going their they also count being ill as unauthorised and going to the doctors as an unathourised absensence.

Right here is the truth, if you don’t rate 5 stars you get a detention. I’ll tell you the truth though. The kids here are really nice, the groups are mixed ability, NOT top,mid and low like they tell you. Next thing about this school is that all the classrooms are boring to learn in, all of them this same boring yellow colour. The teachers only care about money, as I was told the only thing that matters in life is money by multiple teachers. There are hardly any clubs (e.g. football), most of the teachers are horrible and the computing system is faulty. There are multiple large fights happening around the school where nobody gets put in isolation. A message to people wanting to review, be fully and completely honest as it’s hard to find out who’s reviewing. The teachers don’t care about the major distractions and pick on the ones who do hardly anything wrong. This school shouldn’t be 5 star, it should be 0. The playground is small, the tutor time activities are boring and unhelpful. If you have your phone out in class they won’t confiscate it. The work curriculum is easy and boring for higher abilities. In the snow, somebody I know, got ice thrown in their eye so they booted the guy who threw the ice. The one who got ice in their eye got isolated and the other one hot away with it because he began to cry. Rocking back on chairs is a thing teachers hate but actually it does no harm, just need to be careful. The food they make is as bad as dog food as they don’t have any flavour. If you stay till year 11 you will have to pay PS96 for food money. There is no sport team except for girl’s football, which is on at the start of the year. IF YOU ENJOY SPORT DON’T COME HERE! On the sign it says sports academy but that’s a total lie. I feel sorry for the Coxmoor and Newsted people who have no other choice. They don’t really like smart people. IF YOU’RE SMART DON’T COME HERE! Right this is a long but true review.

at first i did support kirkby college but i feel the school is not very good like first of all they decide to lock the toilets so you have to go to a teacher do get a key to use the TOILET. Another thing is ever since “outwood” taken over its got worse so much for a “DR” if he was a bloody “DR” he might have some common sense. i am also very disappointed because outwood was supposed to be a good change for kirkby college but no now its like they are in prison. Don’t get me wrong they is some good teachers who have time for some of the kids their and actually understand students at kirkby college. But your child could do the smallest thing and they get excluded.
