Lakelands Academy

I work there, so it is a friendly atmosphere to work in. The children are well behaved and polite. This goes a long way as I am only a lunchtime supervisor and a cleaner at the end of the day. The teachers and other staff always have to say hello or have a conversation with you. As you come through the door to reception the administration staff are ready and waiting with a smile and are ready for anything that you throw them. I have put all my children through the school and am really chuffed with them.

I spent 5 dreadful years at this horrendous secondary school and would NOT reccomend it to parents of the future generations to come.

Lol, gone downhill fast since my first year there, cant wait to leave. ‘Wellbeing’ centre is used to punish kids who’s hair is a tad too short instead of being reserved for the people who actually need a place to go. Uncontrollable lower years, not entirely the teachers fault but seriously if they dont care about detentions why keep giving them out. No stimulation or things to do during breaks and lunches, leading to boredom and then outbreaks of misbehavior from that boredom, which is then blamed on the kids and punished because of it. Same situation with phones, completely understand the rules against them but if the school is really adamant on giving students nothing to do during their free time then there should at least be a designated area to be allowed to use phones, like a room, supervised area, etc. overall just disappointing, it had so much potential to be amazing.
