as someone who goes to this school, i hate it and when other kids and students start complaining, its a real problem that needs to be fixed. I keep getting detentions (now known as "reflections") for the worst reasons ever. you could get a 30 minute "reflection" for even missing a rubber. the only time you use a rubber is art and we only have it once a week. for the first few weeks of year 9, they kept speaking about "leaders" and "grace" and we had to write letters to teachers. another problem is food, the food is so bad I didn't know if I was eating normal potato or mashed potato because it was so hard it felt like plastic. some teachers don't even know what they are doing. an example is a math teacher who's name i wont say. she kept people after school who didn't even do anything, my friend got at least 10 warnings for doing NOTHING, she always assumes everything and people report her but the school does absolutely nothing about her. I do want to learn and get a good education since my dream is to become a pilot, but this isn't the way I want to learn. they do so much random stuff it doesn't even feel like learning something. humans are naturally curious creatures who are keen to learn but this isn't the way that we want. make learning fun for students and don't waste time on useless stuff. I hope this school gets better. right now I'm doing my "holiday" homework while on holiday in Lithuania so while I can be looking for roe deer and moose in the snow, I am copying a whole page of English homework. make this school better and less depressing since mental health is another thing they don't care about. there is also other stuff but I don't want to make this review longer.

Absolutely horrible school! One of my friend goes to this school and he says the teachers give him detentions for no reason and if your in isolation they don?t let you have your lunch and the teachers are mean to their students by violating them and saying mean things they also get involved in students conversation and they give you detention if your late for eating your lunch even though it?s the older kids pushing in the line and each time you went to eat your lunch they say you have 1 minute to each your lunch or else you will get a detention after school, they also say racist comments if your looking for a school for your child don?t send them to this school and the students also bully you and the teachers do nothing about it

As someone who has been in the Sixth Form, there are no facilities, a shortage of staff, you have to move between multiple sites and the teachers are too self centered and overconfident to listen to any student feedback or fix timetables that get constantly changed due to many lessons clashing with each other because of the lack of classrooms and teachers that leave the school without any notice, mental health is treated like its non existent. you will feel trapped and isolated without any help. Students are more inclined to skip lessons from being too afraid of teachers, the lack of support online and in school. The problems with the school even affects teachers to the point that they leave leaving us with even less teachers than we started with. There aren't enough well trained teachers in the school to teach a sixth form and a secondary school, the sixth form is a complete shambles. This review is here so that you DONT send your child or yourself if you are teaching here.

Worst school in Newham. I keep on getting detentions for no reason and the teachers are really unfair to their opposite gender. If your looking for a school for a child, don?t choose HSAEL!!!

I am a student at this school and the Education is great! I would say the problem is the building but thankfully we will be getting a huge building soon another issue is certain teachers give children detention for absolutely no reason and we have to travel to other schools that are in the Harris Federation (Mostly Harris Chobham Academy) for PE but overall this school is great and if your child is in year 5 I recommend taking him/her to this school because in two years time the building is going to be finished being built by then.

Very mixed experience, but under new management now, so lets hope it can truly flourish.

The reason why people say it's bad is because there's too much substitute teachers. Is it that bad? Yes, sometimes children can't play in the green because of public or other primary schools. In September of 2023, they are banning phones but their reason to is absolutely absurd. The reason is literally saying something that happens at home rather than outside when your travelling between home and school. Some people come from north London to come here.

Ever since it became a part of the Harris Federation and there has been a new principal, this school has been robbed of its greatness. Children are uncomfortable because staff are always telling them to pull their skirts down, there are many pointless and bureaucratic procedures just for the children to enjoy themselves. There is shortage of teachers required and starting from September, you can no longer bring a phone to school, they will search your bags and blazers at random and if they find a phone, they will not return it for 6 weeks. Please do not send your child to this school, for their sake. (Also the teachers and staff have been evidently proven to be verbally abusive to children, and many get in trouble for no reason.)
