Ncdat Reviews 

Horrific school. My sister goes to this school who requires special needs and they treat her like complete shit. She has an entire document that allows specific things, yet half the time they refuse to acknowledge the documents existence. The teachers are ignorant and clueless, the students are not disciplined whatsoever and constant, unjust bullying occurs daily. Absolute joke of a school, DO NOT SEND ANY OF YOUR CHILDREN HERE. If you do then you need to be re-evaluated as a parent.

My experience with North Durham Academy has been nothing short of unbearable. NCDAT owns North Durham Academy. From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I could feel the negative energy radiating from staff members. The teaching and support staff are unprofessional and lack the necessary skills to effectively communicate with students. Instead of fostering a positive and encouraging environment, they use intimidation and fear tactics to control their pupils.

However, the worst part of my time at North Durham Academy has been the blatant dog-whistle racism that I have experienced. As a person of color, I have faced discrimination and microaggressions from staff. The school claims to promote diversity and inclusivity, but in reality, it is far from it.

The incompetence of the headteacher, senior leadership team and PA is evident in every aspect of the school. From the outdated teaching methods to the disorganised administration, it is clear that this school is poorly managed and lacking leadership. They show no interest in the well-being and education of their students, and their only focus seems to be on maintaining a good image for their school.

I would strongly advise parents to look elsewhere for their child’s education. North Durham Academy is not a supportive or safe environment for young minds to grow and learn. The staff members are not equipped to handle any challenges or provide the necessary support for students.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend avoiding North Durham Academy at all costs. The negative and toxic environment created by the incompetent and unprofessional staff is detrimental to the growth and well-being of students. It is a disgrace that a school like this is allowed to exist and continues to operate with such disregard for their students' education and well-being.
