MidKent College Gillingham Campus

I attended MidKent College from 2020 to 2022, and I must say, it was an incredibly disappointing experience. As someone with ADHD and autism, I found the environment to be far from supportive or understanding of my needs. During my time there, I was constantly accused by teachers of doing things I didn't do. This was incredibly frustrating and made me feel unfairly targeted. While Level 1 Performing Arts was somewhat bearable, Level 2 was an absolute nightmare. The lack of support and understanding from the staff made it a very challenging and unpleasant experience. I left the college on 30th June 2022, and I was relieved to be done with it. Unfortunately, my brother, who also has ADHD and autism, currently attends MidKent College. He is 18 years old, and they treat him like a child. It's disheartening to see that the college hasn't improved in its approach to supporting students with additional needs. Overall, I would not recommend MidKent College to anyone, especially those with ADHD, autism, or other special needs. The lack of understanding and support from the staff makes it a very difficult environment to thrive in.

So sad to read all these negative reviews, but not surprised. I think you'll find they got rid of all their specialist teachers a few years ago, so anyone with educational support needs can no longer get specialist teaching. I hope OFSTED look at this really closely and does not allow 'OFSTED lessons' to hide what is actually going on. There were some fantastic teachers there but the following September they had all gone. Rumour is that the college decided they weren't needed any more.

Sub-standard teachers (if you can call them that) within a sub-standard establishment. My son has no chance for success here. Two years in and we're still having the same problems. Lack of communication and utter neglect. I'm sure on Ofsted days everything is made to appear good. Before you reach out to give me the details for making a complaint, I already have and guess what....no response.

We hire the Glass Box, the theatre and the kitchen on a regular basis & our experience has been outstanding. Special mention to staff Becky Farley and Victoria Startup for being so supportive & helpful.

Trying to kick my daughter off of her course that she's 6 weeks into, they knew she had siezures and has a EHCP yet they are pursuing it still, they can't comprehend the fact that you can't discriminate against disabled people and that reasonable adjustments have to be made.

It is in gillingham town and seems like a nice place. I don’t have much to comment on the education provider but I went on a function there the auditorium and welcomeness was awesome.. The function was well managed by the organisation. The college infrastructure seemed great

Made my daughter very unhappy due to being bullied, and from what I can gather from talking to her the teaching was very poor . Very little in the way of support for students.

A bunch of heartless, senseless and obviously unprofessional people who wilfully deprived my child of his right to education, and they think they have done the right thing by keeping a child out of education....very arrogant people.
