- **5/5** — Excellent facilities and staff: 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. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — 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. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional headteacher and staff: We are really happy with Yarlside Academy. The headteacher is exceptional and the staff are very supportive. The school's approach to curriculum and personal development is also excellent. *(Sep 2021)*
- **5/5** — 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. *(Jun 2020)*
