"Potential, but some areas for improvement"

I'm grateful for the opportunity to give my child a free education, but I've noticed some inconsistencies in the teaching quality. The facilities are great, though. I'm hoping they'll address the issues soon.

"Personalised approach is a game-changer"

My child was at Giles Academy from Year 6 to Year 11 and I was blown away by the way they tailored the education to her needs. The teachers were approachable and supportive. I wish more schools were like this.
