Appalling staff behaviour
I have been playing badminton at Ark Academy Barnet for about a year now however lately I have noticed a change in the attitude of some of the new staff( specifically area manager). He has been pretty rude and arrogant, basically unprofessional in his behaviour! This has been a real deterrent for us and we've discontinued our bookings which is a real shame as the facilities at Ark are fantastic and I really enjoyed playing there. I'm wondering whether school plus did their due diligence before employing their new staff there because such kind of behaviour in my opinion is unacceptable!
What also surprises me is that school plus haven't taken any action as yet even after receiving so many complaints!

Dear Sonal,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all customer concerns seriously and have been in ongoing communication with the owner of the Badminton Club to address them. Regarding the arrival time of your booking, our area manager was simply following company protocol. It is our policy that if a club's time at the facility extends beyond the booked period, we must charge for the additional time used. This ensures fairness for both our customers and the schools we partner with.
We have truly enjoyed having your club as a customer over the past few years. It saddens us to see so many negative reviews, especially when the number of reviewers claiming to be members of the club is far greater than the 15 people who have been attending your sessions! Please note that we do not enter negotiations with customers to change their reviews, good or bad. Customers cannot extract special terms from us through the threat of negative reviews, or as a bribe to take negative reviews down, and we do not appreciate the proposal that we do so.
We are also very sorry that you felt the area manager was impolite, and I assure you that this has been escalated internally. You'll understand that out of respect for the affected individuals this is being dealt with privately, not in public. However, any outcomes that are specifically relevant to your club will be communicated directly and professionally with you.
We’ve made extensive efforts to help, from the area manager to customer service, head of customer service, and now the operations director. Our aim remains to find a resolution that is satisfactory for both parties.
As an organisation, our mission is to generate much-needed funds for schools. Thank you for your business to date which has been valued and appreciated. If we are unable to resolve your requirements going forward, we wish you the best in finding a venue that meets your very specific needs.
Best regards,

Badminton Under a Stopwatch: Rules that Make No Sense at Schoo Plus
I recently had the pleasure of playing badminton at a school court managed by Schoo Plus, and let me tell you, the area manager runs a tight ship — or should I say, a well-oiled stopwatch.
I recently had the pleasure of playing badminton at Ark Pioneer School, managed by Schoo Plus, and let me tell you, the area manager runs a tight ship — or should I say, a teleportation station.
Our booking was from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, but in a stroke of pure genius, we weren’t allowed to even enter the premises until exactly 8:00 PM. Because clearly, the assumption is that we’ve all mastered the art of teleportation. Why bother parking and walking when we can simply materialize directly on the court at 8:00 sharp? Such efficiency!
But the real fun began when it was time to leave. Although we were technically allowed to play until 10:00 PM, we were informed that we needed to be out of the entire school premises by 10:00 — not just off the court, but completely gone. So naturally, we had to start packing up by 9:50, because teleporting out at exactly 10:00 wasn’t an option. And just in case we thought of hanging around, we were threatened with an extra hour’s charge for daring to leave the court at 10:00 on the dot. Nothing like a financial penalty to end a relaxing game of badminton!
In short, if you’re looking for a sporting experience where teleporting skills are more valuable than your badminton skills, Ark Pioneer School managed by Schoo Plus is the place for you. Just don’t forget your watch — or better yet, your teleportation device!

How a single person or policy can…
How a single person or policy can change the whole customer experience was evident in our recent experience at Ark Academy during regular badminton session. We were not new to the space, used it for almost 3-4 years with great relationship with the staff. Suddenly this intervention ruined whole experience. Hope this can be fixed soon before losing more customers from site.

Area Manager at Ark Pioneer unprofessional and threat to throw us out of the premises
I am writing to formally complain about the conduct of the Area Manager at Ark Pioneer Facility. A few weeks ago and recently on 29 Sep, I experienced extremely rude and unprofessional behavior from the Area Manager.
During my visit to the Ark Pioneer at 9:00 AM on Sunday, the Area Manager stopped me while entering the premises, spoke to me in a very rude and bossy manner, and even threatened to throw us out of the facility if I didn’t park where he wanted. This behavior was not only disrespectful but also made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable.
I believe that all people who use the facility should be treated with respect and courtesy, and this incident has significantly impacted my experience at your facility. I would like to request that this matter be investigated and appropriate action be taken to ensure that such behavior is not repeated in the future.
I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue.

Rude Manager
We have been receiving very rude response/approach from the schools plus manager at Ark Pioneer Academy, Barnet.
He makes no sense when talking to us, not ready to listen a single thing from the customer.
He purposefully make sure we utilise the courts less time. This new area manager is very arrogant and rude. He needs to learn and incorporate customer service excellence.

ZERO STAR - Causing a hazardous situation on the road
We have been using the facilities at Ark Pioneer Academy, Barnet, for about 4 years and have always been very satisfied. However, over the past 3-4 months, seems like from the time when the new Area Manager took over, we have experienced several issues due to his rude, insensitive, and inconsiderate behaviour.
He is extremely stubborn and unwilling to address any concerns. To quote few example:
- He insists on opening the parking gates only at the exact start of our booking, forcing around 20 cars to wait on a narrow road outside the school. This creates a hazardous situation, causes traffic congestion, and inconveniences to other road users. This could easily be avoided if he allowed us to enter the parking area and park the vehicles 5-10 mins ahead of time, then opened the sports hall gate at the scheduled time.
- He frequently interrupts our games for no valid reason, seemingly just to assert his authority, when this could easily be addressed before or after our sessions.
His unprofessional and arrogant attitude has made the experience extremely frustrating for all of us.
I hope the SchoolPlus management and Ark Pioneer Academy school take this matter seriously and ensure that the school facilities are available for the local community to use for a greater and more meaningful purpose.

SchoolPlus Management- Area Manager…
SchoolPlus Management- Area Manager High Barnet , Ark pioneer academy
engagement with school plus for past 3-4 years for booking sports hall and playing in ark pioneer academy , barnet has been a walk in the park . But that was all until Aug 2024. Enter the rude , impertinent and presumptuous person as the area manager and all the good will and relationship had undergone a major dent. customer care and affable negotiations are i guess words of another realm for him.
tbh, we play untill 10 pm , we finish at sharp 10 pm and take next 5 mins to clean up court hall. is that really an issue to bring up rulebook to face. were the rules not the same for last 4 years. all who play are decent chaps, in a good phase of life and all we want is a healthy lifestyle and community building.
Parking rules , timing rules are being brought up to showcase supremacy.Are you serious.
Dude, please get a life.
But anyway, what bothers now is apathy from school plus management to recognise issues and take corrective measures. it's not just us all people hiring hall has similar experience.
Eventually people will move and life does not stop , but what will remain is a black blotch on School plus.
Remember school plus : "The world suffers not because of bad people , rather due to lack of action from good people"

Visit this venue if you don't care about humiliation and want to loose all self respect.
If no stars could be given, I would choose it. Read on for why:
When one visits a restaurant, the set of gestures that gets a waiter a tip (or better tip) is going that extra mile for the customer i.e. smiling, enquiring about the food, checking in if the customer needs anything, what else the waiter could do to make the customer's experience worthwhile. That is when, as a customer, you are compelled to give a tip, or more than what you generally would. Just bringing the food over to the table is the basic of expected services, but doing only that, however good you may be, doesn't make the customer feel valued.
These are Basics 101 for any customer facing client servicing role.
Some of the school plus staff fail miserably at this.
We play badminton at the venue, trying to get our exercise in, staying mentally and physically fit and sometimes escaping the reality of the chaos in our lives, but few staff at the venue make sure that they embroil you in such pathetic ordeals that you hate that evening and possibly end up being disturbed for the whole week.
I have a question, had it been a personal restaurant, would these staff members treat their customers the same way, without worrying about the repercussions and without caring if the customer ever comes back to their restaurant? Most people would say NO because it is their OWN reputation and business in line and any callous behavior will directly impact them and rather livelihood.
Here, in case of Schoolplus@ARK Academy, as this is a "Corporate" and one can always find another job, they take it for granted. Highly unprofessional and complete lack of training trying to hide under layers of bureaucracy. Visit this venue if you don't care about humiliation and want to loose all self respect. They will ensure mental harassment is given to you as a package deal, so much for customer loyalty.

Unprofessional Behavior by New Manager at Ark Pioneer Academy - Disruptive and Rude
I visit Ark Pioneer Academy every week to play badminton from 8-10 PM. However, this Tuesday, I had an unpleasant experience with a new manager from School Plus, who oversees the badminton courts.
I arrived at the school at 7:55 PM and was approached by the manager, who rudely asked me to leave the premises, as my session started at 8 PM. He then made me wait on the road with the gates shut. At 8 PM, when I attempted to enter the court, he forced me to wait again, claiming vague safety reasons until the previous session had completely exited. When I asked for clarification, he raised his voice at me and others.
During the game, the manager interrupted by stepping onto the court and loudly insisted that we must leave the premises exactly at 10 PM, even though we started late because of him. He even threatened to charge us for additional time.
I've been coming to this center for the past two years without any issues with the School Plus management, but this manager's behaviour was unacceptable and completely out of line.

Poor management and parking issues
Ark pioneer Academy, Barnet School plus: We and our team play badminton at Ark pioneer academy on most of the days. Since the management change a few months ago, the new team has treated customers poorly. Their behaviour has been rude, and last week, we were denied entry to the school premises when we arrived at 7:58 PM, despite the session being scheduled from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The gates remained closed, leaving 10-15 cars stranded outside, causing inconvenience to both the customers and the neighbours. I wouldn’t even give 1 star.

It saddens us to see so many negative reviews, especially when the number of reviewers claiming to be members of the club is far greater than the 15 people who have been attending your sessions! Please note that we do not enter negotiations with customers to change their reviews, good or bad. Customers cannot extract special terms from us through the threat of negative reviews, or as a bribe to take negative reviews down, and we do not appreciate the proposal that we do so.
We are also very sorry that you felt the area manager was impolite, and I assure you that this has been escalated internally. You'll understand that out of respect for the affected individuals this is being dealt with privately, not in public. However, any outcomes that are specifically relevant to your club will be communicated directly and professionally with you.
We’ve made extensive efforts to help, from the area manager to customer service, head of customer service, and now the operations director. Our aim remains to find a resolution that is satisfactory for both parties.
As an organisation, our mission is to generate much-needed funds for schools. Thank you for your business to date which has been valued and appreciated. If we are unable to resolve your requirements going forward, we wish you the best in finding a venue that meets your very specific needs.

"If all one has is a hammer
"If all one has is a hammer, everything/everyone looks like a nail" ... only that can come close to the rude irrational attitude and behaviour of the new area manager from Schoolplus managing sports facility @Ark pioneer Academy, High Barnet.
Sincerely hope some senior staff is really going through these multiple reviews for corrective action, besides automated lip service reply, cos it would be a shame that the facility is not utilised for sports that promote public health, fun and fraternity of the society around the school ( #Ark pioneer academy - High Barnet ).
Kind Regards 🙏

Dear Kann,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all customer concerns seriously and have been in ongoing communication with the owner of the Badminton Club to address them. Regarding the arrival time of your booking, our area manager was simply following company protocol. It is our policy that if a club's time at the facility extends beyond the booked period, we must charge for the additional time used. This ensures fairness for both our customers and the schools we partner with.

Unprofessional behaviour by care taker…
Thanks for reading review and asking for more info. As mentioned earlier looks like care taker or duty manager is behaving unprofessional and angrily with everyone. He is closing the gate and opening it right exactly on time and not sure how he is considering to use badminton courts in ark pioneer for 2 hrs if he stop on gate and open gate exact time which takes few mins to go to badminton Court. Insulting in front of guest badminton team saying invoice is not paid where as full payment had been done. Body language of line manager shows he is trying to take some kind of revenge with everyone. I hope this info find you useful and appreciate if you read this message reply back with your thoughts.
Unprofessional behaviour by care taker or area manager - ARK pioneer
academy Barnet. Unnecessarily creating problem for customers. Just before 3 months used to be fantastic service however after changing management looks like egoistic, angry , revengeful area manager or care taker spoiled relationship with customer. Definitely NOT recommend school plus, waste of time to deal with these people.

Kibworth Mead Academy
Kibworth Mead Academy - our local football club hire facilities at the school. The 3G pitch is booked every night & on a Saturday/Sunday. 100s of local kids use the facility. Recently, the goals, specifically the goal nets look in a terrible state. One goal literally has half a net hanging from it. I am a coach for one of the teams & parents have started asking me when the goals will be repaired. Last week, we hired the 3G for a league match. The referee warned us that future games might be in doubt as the main goals had gaps in the goal nets & there were no corner flags. Please can there be a maintenance programme in place to ensure the goals are kept in good condition & safe to use. Without maintenance they will get neglected and will need replacing. They are expensive.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your review, we have recently started working with this school. I have spoken to the area manager for this site and I have been informed that new nets are in the process of being ordered and will be installed as soon as we get them.
Have a lovely day,
The Schools Plus Team
A Disgrace to the Workplace
It's completely unacceptable that the area manager is threatening to send me off the site without even bothering to have a proper conversation. This is rude and unprofessional behavior.

Schoolplus - Ark Pioneer Academy, Barnet : Toxic Site Manager
Have been using Ark Pioneer Academy(SchoolPlus) facilities for badminton for the last 3 years and the experience has gone from good to worse with the recent site manager from SchoolPlus.
The demands and attitude by the site manager over the last few months is neither customer centric or people friendly. The condemnable behaviour on 1st October is beyond comprehension - Failing to allow members into the facility, walking into the middle of the courts while playing.
Hope our experience with Schoolplus(Ark Pioneer Academy) will inform future customers before they sign up for activities.

Shouted at by manager
I've veen using Schools Plus facilities for a couple of years now and have never had an encounter like this before. I parked up and a man came charging over to the car in the rain demanding I roll down the window. He then proceeded to shout at me in a very intimidating and angry fashion that I was in the wrong space. I've never met this man before but later found out he is called Dwight. I do not recommend anyone book the sports hall at Ark Pioneer academy. This awful man also didn't let us into the car park before our start time which is crazy given that we'd expect to be using the facilities at that time. He then started another argument in the sports hall, making a point to stand in the middle so we couldn't start, and threatening us with a fine if we were not out by the end time on the dot. His actions meant that we had 15 mins less than our allotted time. DO NOT BOOK HERE!
