“As a student of this school I got the confidence to say what a lovely school it is”

“Excellent learning environment. Teachers and staff pay attention and above all CARE about the kids. Miss Williamson and Mr Taylor alongside Mr Harrison are always at the gates with a warm welcome. Reception and year 1 so far has been a brilliant experience for our little girl who is 5. As for those parents who have been critical of the school and teachers, maybe they should look at their own behaviour, the only thing that is detrimental at the school are some of the parents, who obviously don't know how to talk, park or behave in public.”

“One day I went to school I was really, really hungry I went to shoplift in the canteen 'Cause I had no money, money I looked around and no one was looking, looking So I put some juice in my pocket And I walked towards the playground As I was walking, walking, walking I saw the teacher, he was Nigerian, big black hench and raw So I put my hands in my pocket and I walked towards the playground The teacher said "Ace, ace! what do you take me for?" so yeah, then he beat me up and i enjoyed my time; a stupendous experience truly 5 stars.”

“The majority of students are from the Muslims community living around small heath, Bordesley green , and Saltley.”

“Great school , I go to saltley and I am in yr 7 . In my opinion it's an excellent school because you learn a lot . Even though you get c3s it's still a good school because well some kids deserve it and you learn from your mistakes. Most of the teachers are really nice and when you talk to them you feel like they are really close friends. In addition, the school may sometimes be challenging for some students , but that does not matter because the more the school is challenging the more students will start developing their skills in competing . As a school we all care for each other . We are all friends . We are all outstanding learners. We say no to bullying and yes to other religions. Also when we don't understand something we either try guessing it ( being resilient) , ask someone that knows or ask the teacher for help.”

“This school is so good you get treated fairly and also its the number one best school in Birmingham so what are you waiting for come and join ark St Albans.”

“Beautiful area. Lovely students. Teachers that allow self expression and don’t cause any depression. Overall amazing and would recommend. -Debra”

“Amazing school. Has a once in a lifetime experience, that I would never regret. Staff and students are really caring and amazing. I would recommend this school to everyone, who is a girl and is looking for a secondary school. Best school ever.”

“Personally i think my school is amazing obviously no ones perfect but if there are any faults the teachers are straight there on the job trying to make it the best we can be. Teachers are really supportive with subjects for example if you are stuck or need any help then all you need to do is raise your hand wait until they are free then they will come and help you. If your child is coming in September then you shouldn't be worried at all bullying is not stood for and the first few weeks will be absolutely amazing and you meet lots of new people i hope if you are considering coming to our school you donr read the bad comments because obviously tgese are students that dont give respect to get respect.”

“My son really appreciated his time here.”

“I go to thorns and it is so much better than it was before I'm happy that I got into thorns because its so friendly. The head of the school is so nice and cares about it so much. The teachers do as well.”

“WOW!! What a place to worship and be filled with the presence of God. I felt my spirit change the minute I stepped foot in the vicinity. Highly Highly recommend you spend your Saturdays here, you won’t regret it ;)”

“Wayyy better than Hamstead Hall in my opinion.”

“I’ve spent almost 5 years here, and I’m about to embark on another 2 very soon and I must say - this place is better than what most reviews claim. The teachers are always very respectful to the students, and it is a safe environment in which to learn. While I do agree that some of the rules may be largely misguided - these are solely minor inconveniences. All in all, I’d be hard-pressed to name a better school in the borough.”

“A nice school. Miss Holgate and Ms Brown r the best there”

“After reading all the reviews I was put of going to them , as I have never claimed in my life . when I got there I was greeted by Neal with a friendly reassuring face . Who had me laughing the whole time and went above and beyond to help me understand everything and tell me what I needed to know . I came away feeling content and stress free , as all the policies and procedures of what I'm entitled to where explained and made clear . All the staff I came across where very Friendly and helped me every step of the way the women sitting next to Neal helped also even down to the women at the door as I walked in . I would go as far as to say even security gave me a smile how that's rare .”

“perhaps the best thing in my life. Sports direct. com uk number one!!! went to get the mug came out a new man. never experienced such an electric atmosphere and dashing staff in one place. wanted new londsdales to walk the dog and was blown away by the amazing service. Manager girl seemed extremely moody for someone working in the uks best store. If i was her i’d cry everyday out of happiness. An asian boy with glasses and another black guy with a bald head absolutely amazing help. Till staff with beard and glasses even sold me the best carrier bag alive. Might let my son use it as his school bag. Nike t shirts extremely short my belly was hanging out the bottom. if they have any vacancies i’d quit my job to work here! forget spending money on a holiday to spain, save it and come and spend in this gem of perry barr. i reckon this is the reason they got to host the commonwealth games here. If i had any socks left after kfc sports direct would have sent them to the moon. 10/10 service 10/10 items 5/10 bunds 10/10 staff Would visit everyday if i could but i’d have no socks left”

“Good school lots of homework reasonable staff”

“How many of these people actually have children at the school. I have had grandchildren here for a total of 12 years and have been impressed. The head has done an excellent job. Rules are there for everyone. My grandchild was told about his haircut being against school policy. This was accepted and his mom didn't feel the need to go to the press with it.”
