"Excellent School with a Kind and Supportive Ethos"

Our children spent three happy years at Hunningley Primary Academy and we were consistently impressed with the school's commitment to academic excellence and its values of kindness and belonging. The teachers were always available to discuss our children's progress and the after-school clubs were a great way for them to develop new skills and interests.

"A Good School, but Room for Improvement"

We have been generally pleased with Hunningley Primary Academy, but we do feel that the school could do more to engage with parents. The curriculum is engaging and the teachers are knowledgeable, but we have experienced some issues with communication and organisation. Overall, it's a good school, but there's definitely room for improvement.
