Has anyone got any children going to Bolingbroke Academy? I'm hoping my son will go there next year and was interested in any feedback before we commit. Thanks
Several of my friends sent their children this September and all are extremely happy. There are open days at the feeder schools this week and at Battersea Arts Centre the following week. Details can be found on www.arkbolingbrokeacademy.org/
My daughter's at Bolingbroke. Obviously we haven't had a lot of time to judge as we're only in week 4 but my husband and I are very pleased so far. The teachers all seem really good and she seems to be learning a lot already. They get quite a lot of homework, it should be 2 subjects for half and hour each every night and then 15 minutes reading but it all seems manageable. They finish at 4pm but have to choose 3 enrichment lessons to do after school, one sport, one music and one other of their choice. These are an hour long so it can be quite a long day but this doesn't seem to worry her too much. It's quite strict (uniform has to be perfect etc) but I like that - I needed strict when I was at school to keep me in line to I have no problem with that at all. Overall I think it will be an excellent school. I can't comment on the building I'm afraid as they are in temporary accommodation until after half term. Please do email me if you have any further questions sandra@swbishop.co.uk
