Co-op Academy Nightingale

"Don't think you remember me but its gabriel best 5 year of my life"

"Great experience! I’ve been here since this school opened, when no one was a class higher, it was just reception, we did miss out on some things that they do now but I wish I could relive this school again, don’t listen to the other bad reviews as they didn’t get the child’s perspective. While I did see a review about the teachers, it happens. We have many bad teachers that make us upset but in the end the school deals with them, while they probably won’t deal with some other the more important teachers, they’re mostly friendly, a lot of teachers are and hopefully always will be a great support, I finished Year 6 and I haven’t really seen anyone write a long review going in detail about the experience. If you decide to send your child here make sure they behave so it’s fun to go. The CO-OP also tries to make it fun by sending us ice lollies (pink lemonade flavour) and when I had them it felt like eating the most pleasant scented piece of ice ever. Once again, thank you! These are things I would recommend for the school: Listen to what the children would like to learn for more of the fun lessons, I personally wanted them to use a better coding platform because Purplemash doesn’t teach you anything other than how to move useless objects, it’s drag and drop, maybe step it up for the children that progress and make children who struggle go down a level, overall you would need to swap out the iPads for Laptops as they offer more but either way, that’s just my opinion. Maybe give all years equal equipment, all we had for Year 6 is whatever they threw over to us or balls for football or basketball. Maybe get a side of the kids if a supply teacher is in for a day and they tell that the class misbehaved, I was in trouble because someone was a distraction and kept touching me, it was dealt with though but if it wasn’t I would be in trouble because of ‘shouting’ at kids. Overall great school and I wish I could relive my experience."

"Mrs crispin told my 8yr old not to tell me she was getting bullied , my daughter wrote a suicide letter ! Horrible head teacher and reception are useless , the amount of times the school rang to ask where my child was , she was in school .. Disgusting so unprofessional it’s unbelievable, wish I never sent my child here"

"Yet another "Academy" named in part after a high street shopping chain. Academies are as a rule some of the very worst schools funded by private business. Why we don't/ haven't yet started to miss out the middle man all together and send our children straight to businesses like Co-op, Asda, McDonald, Burger king etc... to be indoctrinated, I'm mean educated. I'm sure if the Concervativs could do this they would"
