"Excellent School, Wonderful Values"

I have been impressed with Tabor Academy since my child joined in Year 7. The school's emphasis on respect, discipline, and responsibility has really helped her grow into a confident and responsible young person. The facilities are also excellent, and I love the extra-curricular activities on offer.

"Excellent Teaching and Support"

I have been blown away by the quality of teaching at Tabor Academy. My child's teachers have been amazing, providing the right level of support and challenge. The school's focus on mental health and well-being has also been really helpful, and I feel confident that my child is well-prepared for the next stage of their education.

"Meh..."

Not that great if you struggle with health, the staff did not understand mental health very well especially. I used to have severe asthma attacks before a diagnosis and nobody reacted or helped, even when I fainted.

"Good school, but improvements needed"

I have mixed feelings about Tabor Academy. On the one hand, my child thrived academically and made some wonderful friends. However, I felt that the school could do more to support parents and keep us informed about what was happening. The new headteacher seems to be making some positive changes, though.
