My daughter got an in-year admission (year 9) at Harris Invictus Academy in Croydon. Once I knew she was offered a place here, I took her off the waiting list of other schools. I did a lot of research and they are i) rated outstanding by OFSTED; ii) boast of great results; iii) I met the admissions person who showed us around the school and the campus had good facilities; iv) also they have a reputation of being very strict. However, today was her first day and she said she didn’t learn anything. The classes had rowdy students saying the F word to teachers and at times it took 20 minutes to get the class to quiet down. My daughter and I are worried now and I’m wondering if I made a poor decision enrolling her in the school. Should we give it more time? What are my options? It would be great to hear other parents or their child’s experience of the school. Thank you sooo much!!
