## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Bulling/opinion!!!!: I use to think this was a great school but over the years kids still getting bullied even thou the teachers says it's been sorted but yet still goes on with the bullies!!! If your kids don't enjoy school or have Opinion there get punished why all because there think differently/opinions *(Jan 2024)*
- **2/5** — The school going downhill: This school had such a good reputation when Mr Bell was the headteacher. Since this new headteacher has been there the school has went massively down hill. The only reason I keep my kids in this school is because it's further to travel to other schools and that's not possible for us. The rules this school keep making up are ridiculous. Now it seems kids can not take a school bag to school as they don't have the room but yet they have the room for coats, packed lunch bags & all the water bottles.… *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school for our child!: We are so impressed with Malvin's Close Academy. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and our child loves attending. We love the focus on SMSC and British Values, it's great to see our child learning about being a good citizen and respecting others. *(Sep 2022)*

- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about our experience: We had a mixed experience at Malvin's Close Academy. The school has a lot of great facilities and the staff are generally friendly, but we found the communication with parents to be a bit lacking at times. Our child did enjoy the music program though! *(Jan 2022)*
