Sprowston Community Academy

"aside from toilet hygiene can be improved, this is a great school. Mr Wesley is a legend"

"absolutely terrible school. the overwhelming majority of the staff are subpar and dont seem to care about their students. in regards to bullying, the school does not seem to care, giving a slap on the wrist and leaving the bullied student to suffer. in regards to safeguarding, the school is abhorrent, not caring about issues they are presented with and on the rare occasion they pursue the issue further they give unhelpful advice and no real support. the “compass” counselling is not adequate and does not feel like a safe place to share worries. this is not a good school on any basis and requires vast improvement, not a “good” ofsted rating based on the school hiding every aspect of itself but the unreasonable and unrealistically idealistic “team sprowston” lie"

"Solid school. I am heading into GSCEs this coming September and the staff here are really good. Teachers are nice and understanding, and a lot of them help create a good working environment. Food choices are quite nice as well, though the regular pasta is pretty.. terrible. Not much you can do about that one though. This place isn't perfect. A lot of students here are quite disrespectful, and I have had to file some reports. The school would be a better place if people had some more respect, but then again, this is out of the school's control. The school feels a bit restrictive, since you aren't able to wander around freely anymore, there is less communal spaces and a one-way system, but it is for the better. I am looking forward to the new library, since I am a massive bookworm. I love the LGBTQ+ inclusion here. It makes me feel more at home here. The school site is quite nice, with a large field out in the back. Although, this field is split between another 2 schools. This school has helped me form a rough idea of what I want to do in the future, and I think that's great. We were given a survey on how we get to school. I think this is a very good thing to do because the roads get very congested at the start and the end of the school day. It also encourages students to consider more eco-friendly ways of getting to school, which is critical in the current climate crisis. COVID-19 made things difficult, but the school handled this pretty well. It also had a knock-on effect and made online homework much easier to access and do. This school is trying very hard to be a good place to learn. And it is certainly doing that. I appreciate the staff and access to good facilities. Overall, if I could, I would give 4.75 stars, but I sadly can't do that, so I'll just round it up to 5."

"I don’t attend this school but I’ve been reading the reviews and mr jackson sounds like a legend"

"I'm not yet in secondary school, and I'm most likely not to attend this school, but it is second on my list and I just wouldn't mind attending! The thing I like most is the fact that the school has a swimming pool and a gym! Overall, this seems to be a very nice school!"
