## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — West howe at its finest.: I dont know where to start with this school other than its location. It fits right in comfortably in West howe- right atmosphere and very fitting for a place you shouldn't go outside in after 7 pm. The feeling is the same inside the school and out: unsafe. If you arent popular you might as well not be there- it would probably be safer. *(Apr 2023)*
- **5/5** — Happy and Supportive Environment: My child loves Oak Academy and I'm so grateful for the support the school has given us. The staff are always responsive and the facilities are excellent. The 'no excuses' culture of learning is great and I feel that my child is developing a strong work ethic. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School with Excellent Values: I'm so impressed with Oak Academy and the values they've instilled in my child. The 'Courage, Kindness, Respect and Excellence' ethos is truly embedded in everything they do. My child loves attending school and the staff are always so supportive. *(Jun 2022)*
- **1/5** — bad review: they are an unfair school. teachers are liars and have the best interest to get the student in trouble. they have no care for the students and they treat them unfairly and rudely. teachers don’t have any control of the students during lessons. they swear at us and lock us in rooms. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Good School with Opportunities: I have mixed feelings about Oak Academy. As a former parent, I feel that the school provided a good education and my child had opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities. However, I wish they had more resources and a more diverse curriculum. *(Feb 2021)*
