"Some great moments, but room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Atlantic Academy so far. The school's approach to learning is interesting and our daughter has enjoyed some of the projects and activities. However, we've had some issues with communication and have found the school's policies on attendance and behaviour to be quite strict. We're hoping things improve in the coming months.

"Fantastic school with a great approach to learning"

We were blown away by the unique approach to education at Atlantic Academy when our daughter was a student there. The staff were supportive, the facilities were excellent and the emphasis on individual learning was refreshing. She loved her time there and we're so grateful for the experience.
