"Room for Improvement"

While I've been pleased with the progress of my child at Elm Academy, I do feel that the school could do more to engage with parents. Communication can be a bit hit-and-miss and I've had to chase up on a few occasions. That being said, the teachers are dedicated and the facilities are top-notch.

"A Well-rounded Education"

My child attended Elm Academy a few years ago and I was impressed by the emphasis on developing the whole child. The EPIC values are truly embedded in the school's culture and my child benefited from the focus on enjoyment, potential, inclusive and communities.
