- **5/5** — Excellent school experience so far!: My son has only just started at Atlantic Academy but we are thoroughly impressed with the facilities, staff and curriculum. The school's values of excel and engage really resonate with us and we've already seen a positive impact on his attitude towards learning. We're excited to see his journey unfold! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — 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. *(Mar 2022)*

The school feels like a true community, with staff and students alike looking out for one another. My son's teachers have been fantastic, providing individualised support and encouraging him to reach his full potential. We feel so lucky to have found this school! *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — 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. *(Jun 2021)*
