## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Lovely School with a Family Feel: My child has been at Victoria Academy for 2 years now and I must say, we absolutely love it. The school's values of kindness, respect and responsibility are clearly reflected in the way the teachers and staff treat the children. The facilities are excellent and my child is thriving in the supportive learning environment. Highly recommended. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Positive, Some Room for Improvement: My child is in their final year at Victoria Academy and while we've had a generally positive experience, there have been a few issues with communication and organisation. However, the staff are always willing to listen and the school's commitment to wellbeing and mental health is appreciated. Facilities are good, but could be improved with more resources. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great All-Rounder: We were at Victoria Academy for 3 years before moving out of the area and I have to say, the school exceeded our expectations in every way. The curriculum is well-rounded, the teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the extra-curricular activities are plentiful and engaging. The school's focus on wellbeing and mental health is also to be commended. *(Aug 2021)*
