Derby Moor Academy

"the building is nice and so is the break areas. You get 20 mins break and 45 mins lunch. But the last 5 minutes is meant for you to go to your class. Most of the teachers are nice but some of them find the smallest reason and make you stay behind for like 10 minutes. We also get 20 minutes of form at the start of the day. We have to stand outside in the morning until 8:30 or something. And on Wednesdays, everything happens 20 minutes before it usually does. We dnt have form time on wednesdays. We start school at 8:40am and end at 2:45pm. On normal days, we start at 9:00 and end at 3:05pm. ●SPORTS DAY 2022 BEFORE SEPTEMBER: We had to go out and sit on the field during the scorching hot heatwave. Yes, the heatwave. the teachers had already set up shade for themselves. after half an hour, these people that the school bought in started singing while us students were dying in the sun. and then another half an hour later, some random dancers started doing the weirdest moves in the weirdest outfits. WHAT IN THE SHEESH KEBAB HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH SPORTS!? We sat out there for 2 whole hours and we werent allowed to get up."

"Had a guided tour of the school. It appears to be really nice."

"Punishes you for the most smallest things ever also a lot of home work and tiger are ONKY A BIT of teachers that are actually nice"

"I am warning you as an parent. Do not send your children to this school. Staff including counselor is completely useless. This is shocking how incompetent they are. I have informed Ofsted and I am waiting to hear from council if they can find place in different school for my children. Stay away"

"This school is shocking, my child is a year 11 student with mental health issues the doesn't seem to understand what they are or that sometimes you need to go to the doctors. Do not send your student to this school its terrible, my child even said and I quote "I would rather go to bleeding school" its that bad they can't teach and there are a few good teachers most of them are only in it for the pay check"
