"A truly outstanding school experience"

My daughter attended Newton Village Academy from Reception to Year 6 and had an amazing experience. The school's values of kindness, empathy, and respect really resonated with us as a family. The staff were always supportive and encouraging, and the school's focus on personal development was impressive. We were so proud of our daughter's growth and achievements during her time at Newton.

"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

We have been pleased with the progress our son has made at Newton Village Academy, but we have had some issues with communication with the school. The Ofsted report mentioned that the school was improving in this area, but we have not seen this change yet. Despite this, the school's focus on creativity and extra-curricular activities has been a highlight for our son. We hope the school will continue to work on communication with parents.

Our family has been part of the Newton Village Academy community for three years now, and we have been very happy with the experience. The school's values of kindness and respect really shine through in the way the staff and pupils interact with each other. The school's focus on personal development and well-being has been particularly impressive, and we feel confident that our child is being well-supported in all areas.
