Ashcroft Technology Academy - London

moon lit

Staff have no regard to mental health. The seniors are honestly very antagonising and will literally belittle your entire existence. Worst school for child wellbeing and mental health that I have come across. Had some horrible experiences at this school, even faced discrimination which was not taken seriously at all.

My advice: you have the talent, work ethic and ability to thrive in a school that is ethical- no need for a school that is hostile with false advertising.

The worst, most corrupt school in London, potentially the country. The staff here go out of their way to make students suffer and feel miserable, they seem to get some sort of high from it. School is supposed to be a place where you can actually enjoy yourself, study and have a laugh with your mates. This school is run like some sort of business, each student is just another name on paper, a stat. The school do not care for helping and benefiting you, just disciplining you. PLEASE, I must emphasise this, do not send your child to this school, it will ruin them and their childhood.

HOW THIS SCHOOL IS STILL OPERATING AND NOT PUT UNDER SPECIAL MEASURES IS BEYOND ME !!
They are bully’s they victimise children and ruin their mental health and well-being. As a parent who works in education the behaviour and mentality of the way this school operates is unbelievable 3 of my children attended this school and I have a list of many incidents along with calls everyday that have drove me to write this .
The latest being my daughter being told she will amount to nothing and be homeless when she leaves school. There is some extremely unfavourable behaviour going on by teachers in that school and I for one has witnessed it on many occasions along with inconsistencies.
THEY ARE RUINING THE NEXT GENERATION.

People are often only compelled to write a review when they have had a negative experience; our experience with ATA has been very positive. When we moved back to the UK, my son started 6th form at ATA. This was his first time living in the UK, so quite a change for him. Even though it is a large school, we found the school to be very responsive to my son's needs (in particular, Mr Hetherington) - I would say even more so than in the private school he went to previously. Academically, my son did very well and, although this depends on each student, ATA provides the right environment for students to fulfill their potential and prosper, in my opinion.

Our experience of ATA is that it is a serious, very well organized, attentive and caring school. We are very grateful to the teachers and staff and wish them the very best for the future.

I have called today to school to find some information about admission test. The staff was were rude: no listening and communication skills. Interrupting, raising voice. "Why you call us , all information in front of your eyes on the website !"
and just hang up while I was talking.
I can not imagine how they deal with children if they communicate this way to parents. How we can leave kids to them? What they can do? We expect that ours kids will be safe in the school, They must be send them to retail to learn customer service skills. That is attitude of people from admission team !!! I just very sorry that I didn't recorded it on phone.
Decided to add something after attending the shool. We were there for admission test and all parents were angry how the staff was deal with us. Rude. Happy that my child not there.

Great school, great education for my children. They become the best state secondary in Wandsworth this year overall! Very strict but if you follow the rules and want to learn you have a place and you will be well supported and appreciated!

This school is extremely horrid, the teachers, the way the teachers deal with bullies, and worst of all the LG, apparently this school is close-minded to the idea of children being independent and having different ideals to one another.

The children often steal from a co-op nearby. East Putney, the one close to the school, some figures that stand out to me are a extremely obese individual child WHO STEALS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY, this individual figure is unmistakably a child of Ashcroft Technology Academy.

I go to work and get my food from this shop. The employees don't deserve this treatment from the children that steal. I told one of the workers about this individual, to which she replied "We'll get him into police custody, soon."
Nothing happened. He came back the next day.

School and teachers are generally good, however, as a parent to one former student, I found school Principal Marcus Barker and some of his Deputy Principals were very very rude and sometimes irresponsible and biased attitude against minorities. I have met a lot of other parents of ethnic minorities feel the same. Too bad they still there!
