Aylesford School and Sixth Form College Reviews
2.5 (2 reviews)
I think Aylesford is going downhill but there are lots of clubs to choose from. Some of the teachers are great, but subs are bad. They don't know what their doing. A good thing about the school is that the people are pretty friendly. Food is really overpriced.
Low expectations, poor behaviour not managed well that disrupts learning for others. Lots of great staff left in last 2 years since new head. Poor leadership, poor communication. SEN support is excellent though. Shame other departments aren’t as efficient. Gone downhill in last couple of years. Would no longer recommend as lets pupils who want to learn down.
