Belle Vue Girls’ Academy leeds

Appalling behaviour from one of the staff at this school. They do not know how to talk to parents. Think they are high and mighty and the parents are below them. Absolutely Disgusting! due to circumstances i cannot pull my sister out of this school!

I got kicked out of this school for ACCIDENTALLY hitting the teacher with a door she was stood in front like how was I supposed to know.

a significant portion of teachers are understanding, supportive and reasonable sadly there is a small minority of teachers who abuse their power and give unjust behaviour and corridor codes. Another note is the school’s lack of extra curricular activities as a student i would like a wider variety of clubs in the school. An issue which i feel is grave is the fact that this school no longer offers triple science the reason i’ve been told is that there are not enough students choosing this option clearly the school needs to better inform the students choosing their options. taking my options during lockdown and online learning i might not have got an accurate representation of the schools assistance with options. overall the students in the school have also contributed a factor in the school’s rating witch i understand can be out of the teachers control but there is a huge lack of discipline in the school where the rules are not being in forced the teachers should also educate the children on tolerance with different groups of people; lack of diversity. i hope people take what i’ve just said into account while deciding to send there daughters to this school.

Worst 7 years of my life, would not recommend at all. Minimum effort from (most) teachers and then think they're doing us a favour. Corridors are pretty narrow. The teaching is basically reading off a textbook. Couldn't even provide online lessons until the last minute during Covid-19. Also, the logic behind making a long queue of students wait outside the entrance and only letting 4 people in a time goes beyond me. Perhaps waiting in the cold was part of their punishment for coming 3 minutes late. They end up wasting more of lesson time. So-called "talent show" has left me traumatized, unless you like to see students twerk. 6th Form "common room" is constantly crowded as for the "Belle Cafe", meaning you can't study in peace or eat comfortably. Lack of student recognition and extracurricular activity is another issue. School also has a tendency to "gang" on individuals as if to intimidate. This is based off personal experience, make whatever you want of it. I have to say it is improving, though at an incredibly slow rate. School's results speaks for itself. Standards of an ideal student are questionable/ambiguous or they're not being enforced effectively.

Very nice school and good atmosphere good staff. I like it.
