"Our wonderful school experience"

I've been blown away by the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff at Carlton Road Academy. My child is in Year 4 and is thriving thanks to their supportive teachers and engaging lessons. The school's values of 'Aim High' and 'Dream Big' really shine through in everything they do.

"Excellent education and community"

We loved our time at Carlton Road Academy! My child moved on to secondary school last year, but the memories and friendships formed here will stay with them forever. The school's commitment to extracurricular activities, such as the Breakfast Club and sports programs, really helped our child develop new skills and interests.

"Room for improvement"

My child is doing okay in Year 1, but I've noticed some inconsistencies in the quality of teaching. The school's facilities are lovely, but I wish they would invest more in resources for the Early Years department. Overall, it's an okay school, but I'm not blown away by the value for money.
