Erdington Academy Reviews
3 (1 review)
I like the ideal amount of extra curricular activities that the school offers; there are a wide range of suitable concepts for different students. The lessons are good the learning experience is ok however the mannerisms of the student are below average. Acts of bullying, harsh banter and negative language does manage to pass the view of the staff members and is sometimes ignored.
