Skinners’ Academy, London | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

DON’T GO TO THIS SCHOOL! This place is more comparable to a prison then a school, it seems like teachers constantly make new rules that make you feel more restricted every day. Their newest ‘rule’ is called “first time, every time” and is a clear way to stop us from challenging the teachers, as if we argue back they can give us a whole 1 hour detention for not following instructions the first time whilst outside of class, even inside of class, teachers often skip sections of the stage system. We even can’t walk freely in the corridors as they have a system called the “one way system” in which we can only move in 1 direction across a corridor. All year groups from year 7 to 10 have to line up, I understand year 7 and maybe even 8, but Year 9 and 10? That’s just a drag. The whole Skinner’s system is ran off fear and punishment, challenging any free thinking the students may have. The principle should be ashamed for making the school how it is today. Old principle, Mr Clark, was far more competent in managing the school. Any system would be better then the one currently in place. Can’t wait to leave, do not go to this school if you care about your mental health.

here’s a list of things from someone who goes here:
not allowed to wear a coat indoors or it’s confiscated (even if you’re about to go outside)

IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ ALL OF THIS, READ THIS !
summary, school cares more about diversity than students, ‘special’ students can do whatever they want with impunity
the teachers are spineless
students are all rude
no phones, coats, proper changing rooms, privacy, comfort, nothing allowed.
operates medieval rules

the food is rancid, it’s mystery meat which has a disgusting texture and little to no flavour with some disgusting long grain rice

I’ve seen teachers pick up cutlery off the ground and put it into where you collect your knives and forks

the ground floor was flooded so there were no changing rooms for like 2 months.

people who try in class have to be put with people who don’t know what an adjective is

no phones allowed

teachers are essentially deaf and can’t hear anything

even if you’re 10 seconds late to class, you’ll get a half an hour detention

most of the students are obnoxious and don’t know how to be a decent human being

the toilets are built vertically, so there’s no privacy and there are 0 blind spots (except for the stalls)

teachers don’t have basic pattern spotting knowledge and don’t understand why the same people are always at the front of every line

the school focuses its money and resources on promoting diversity projects literally no one cares about

the senior teachers constantly try to justify their new rules by saying something about future jobs and interviews

those same people also like to talk about how their ‘stage system’ (warning, sent outside, detention, isolation) is so effective, but if you go in any class you’ll see how it really is

‘special’ students constantly roam around the halls doing whatever they want

teachers forget to set homework, leaving you with 1-2 days to do homeworks which take multiple hours.

this schools has diversity prioritized instead of student’s wellbeing and social equality in practice.

this schools still enforces the one way system from the covid era

this school preaches what it does not practice, making it feel somewhat dystopian

the current headteacher is a soulless excuse for a human, bring back mr clark

this school introduces new behaviour and academic policies every year as a pathetic attempt to feign it’s success as an academic institution

hallways are consistently crowded, because this place is tiny.

students are required to learn about diversity topics, while teachers have little to no knowledge on religious matters that may affect student’s everyday life.

disorganised leadership

victorian era-esque teaching techniques

in conclusion, please don’t go here, save yourself and your future by going to any other school

Calm school but food is horrible.Some teachers are perfect,joke around and have fun.Some other ones just shout and scream for picking up a pen.You’ll have to learn whose good and who’s bad.Dont come to this school though,go Glazemore

this school is good and taught me a lot but mr Ojo is bare strict and is alway s on my case he needs to lowe it. but he can be nice and funny at the same time so dont get on his bad side

Not tryna throw shade here but I personally want to change schools so bad and I bet I’m probs gna get in trouble for this but Idc anymore I literally got in trouble for asking a yes or no question like this girl was spreading rumours bout me and I went up to her to ask if it was tru and das bullying like I’m not taking that so allow the teachers just want u to stay lonely like wthhhh
