"Don’t take you’re kid here!!"

Teachers often misuse their power, humiliating students in front of the whole class. There are frequent fights, creating a chaotic environment. If you're looking for a safe and supportive school, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

"Some Positives, Some Room for Improvement"

We're generally happy with Eden Park Academy, but we've found the communication between home and school can be inconsistent. The teachers are lovely, but the class sizes do feel a bit large for our child.

"Excellent Education and Facilities"

Our child thrived at Eden Park Academy, and we were grateful for the opportunities they had in the Nursery and Reception years. The school's commitment to 'growing hearts and minds' is evident in everything they do.
