Bolingbroke Academy

"How should i say this..This school....The food is garbage. Some teachers don't even teach right some even stand on a table and shout at the class. The teachers at this school cannot handle children nor do the have the experience to. i would not recommend you sending your children to this school as it will ruin your child's life. If you bring your children here you truly don't love them. Although some teachers are horrible, there are a lot of good ones this school is alright but it could be much better"

"This is a good school with the potential to be excellent. Pupils wanting to do well are supported to do so. There are a few 'difficult' children who need to knuckle down or get weeded out. Complaints about the lunches are laughable and demonstrate the priorities of ex students with a knife to grind. Admittedly, more needs to be done to tackle anti-social behaviour in the local community and increased parental engagement and support would be welcomed. As the school becomes increasingly populated with Honeywell and Belleville siblings it will go from strength to strength."

"What shall I say!! the worst school ever in the borough, unexperience teachers, and they can do is detentions, they don't know how to deal with kids and they have very poor communication with parents and children.since I moved my son to different school ,he performs much better in his learning and education, he behaves much better because they know how to support and negotiate with kids not like this poor Bolingbroke, he is much happier and perform lot better. Very poor managments too and parents evening is a mass, food is horrible ,you can't speak to any one over the phone after 4:30 as they never answer and leaving a voice message that the school is closed!! what to do if you have an urgent request?! The whole atmosphere very bad. Think 100 times before sending your instant kids to this school, it won't last long and most of the parents are not happy at least the people I met there. Very bad school"

"This is a great school. The dedication and enthusiasm of the Bolingbroke teachers is especially striking when you meet them and spend time at the school and this sets the school apart from others. The focused leadership, sense of purpose and high aspirations for all children is inspirational. In turn this creates in the children impressive levels of engagement. My daughter has had a very happy first year at Bolingbroke with the high standards expected in all aspects of school life setting exactly the right tone for learning and for the very good academic standards she has attained. She has developed great interest in new subjects (languages, science, geography etc) and had some superb opportunities to extend her learning both through classroom activities and extra-curricular. Discipline standards are sensible, consistent and clearly understood by the students - and they work, as behaviour of pupils is excellent. The school should be very proud of its achievements to date in building a community and an ethos which will benefit hundreds of Wandsworth children as they work towards University and employment."

"So pleased to have Bolingbroke Academy as our local secondary school. My two children are really enjoying their time there. It is a really good mix of children and I think it will really get my children ready for life after school. The school has a very happy and calm atmosphere and the teachers are very dedicated to helping and teaching the children."
