## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic School Experience: My son has been attending Harborne Academy for 3 years now and we have been thoroughly impressed. The facilities are great, especially the new sports hall and 3G pitch. The staff are always so supportive and enthusiastic. The 'Arts Week' and 'STEM Fortnight' events have been a highlight for us! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience: We had a mixed experience at Harborne Academy. My son enjoyed the extracurricular activities, especially the pottery lessons, but the teaching was sometimes inconsistent. The facilities are great, but we felt that the school could have done more to support students with SEN needs. Overall, it was an okay experience. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Excellent Teaching and Facilities: We are really happy with the teaching at Harborne Academy. My daughter's teacher is lovely and always keeps me informed about her progress. The facilities are also great, with plenty of equipment and resources for the students. We are glad we chose this school! *(Feb 2022)*
