The Aylesbury Vale Academy

Disappointing, especially compared to Quarrendon before it. Built only a few years ago, and its reputation has already been ruined. I know of not a single student from that school who has amounted to anything worthwhile, and for one my children would never be seen at a place like this.

Last fall I attended a father/daughter dance. Midway through, there was a flossing dance competition. Every kid in the room knew the dance, and though flossing didn’t originate in Fortnite (Epic co-opted it, of course), they all knew it because of the ubiquitous battle royale game. It reminded me of how every kid in my elementary school seemed to have and trade Pokémon cards. And just like Pokémon cards, schools in my area have had to send out notices about the distraction power of Fortnite, banning it from schools. Where Fortnite differs from a phenomenon like Pokémon is that it’s not solely seen as a hobby for kids. Fortnite has infiltrated the “coolest” of us, from music sensations like Drake to professional athletes. Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price has a well-known Fortnite obsession that some speculated contributed to his carpal tunnel injury. Players have enjoyed rounds of Fortnite on the jumbotron at ballparks. Current Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana smashed a TV last year while playing with the Phillies because he was fed up with his teammates’ Fortnite habits. The Toronto Blue Jays organization is taking steps to curb their players’ Fortnite time in season. Fortnite is not so much a game at this point; it’s a cultural touchstone, a steadfast staple of society that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, almost two years after its arrival. What originally started as a free-to-play offshoot of a disappointing zombie tower defense game has morphed into the premier example of live service experiences. Fortnite as it stands today is much different than it was at launch, and it’s even much different than it was few months ago. With constant changes rolled out to the map, weapons, gameplay modes, and systems, Epic Games has managed to keep millions of players invested. That’s an impressive feat considering most games fall off the map weeks after launch. Games that receive months of interest are rare. Games that receive years of interest? Exceedingly rare, especially to the degree that Fortnite has captured the world’s attention.

School is awful. The worst in Aylesbury. My son who is very academic went down several grades being there and since moving schools grades have risen. My other son isnt so lucky to get another school place and has been subject to bullying by the head teacher Mr Burman himself. The man hasnt a clue about running that school.

The worst school in Aylesbury. I came out of primary school already doing year 7 and 8 work, and have had to move school and am struggling to get through my GCSEs. My grades have dropped dramatically and at the school that i moved to, The Grange, my grades have started to increase. They can only be bothered to help the students that they like. They also had a trip to Italy that i went on, 2 students came back with broken bones, with a teacher that told me that i will be woken up earlier than anyone else as i took to long to get up the mountain, but i was helping another student up as he was struggling, but she said that it was not her problem. I was once told that I am going to get nowhere in life by a teacher and if you are associated with any students that they dont like, they do not like you either. Altogether, an awful school and I reccomend it to no-one

One of the new and biggest secondary school in Aylesbury situated in the West side of the Aylesbury garden town near Berryfields development. Good sports facility. School auditorium can be rented for private events with 50+car parking facility. Non selective school.Olympic 2021 gymnastics gold medalists from this school.
