My child attended Yarlside Academy from Reception to Year 6. The facilities were great, the breakfast club was always busy and the staff were very supportive. The school values were embedded in everything they did.

"Good experience overall"

My child is enjoying their time at Yarlside Academy. The school meals are good and the after school club is popular. However, sometimes the school could be more communicative with parents.

"Great experience, would recommend"

Our experience at Yarlside Academy has been excellent. The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities and the staff are very passionate about their work. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is that the school could be more transparent with parents.
