""The system enables emotional abuse. It creates an atmosphere where harmful behaviour goes unnoticed, from teachers and students, and it makes school an incredibly hostile environment.""
""I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and later on developed serious physical health issues. I was eventually diagnosed with diabetes, which I was told was stress-related, and it had a huge impact on my life.""
""It's validating to finally see some of it acknowledged, but a huge part of the evidence and people's experiences have been ignored.""
""They publicly humiliate you. If you're in trouble, it creates an environment where students feel unsafe and unsupported.""
Ruby Greensides and other former students of Mossbourne Community Academy describe their experiences as emotionally abusive and harmful. They report a zero tolerance culture that fosters hostility and neglects the needs of vulnerable students. A safeguarding review revealed instances of humiliation and inadequate support for students with special educational needs. Ruby, now 23, shares her struggles with anxiety, depression, and stress-related health issues stemming from her time at the academy. Former students are advocating for a national inquiry into the school's practices.
