"Great facilities and passionate staff!"

As a parent, I'm always looking for ways to get involved and support the school. The Colfox Academy has exceeded our expectations, with excellent facilities and a passion for the arts, drama, and music. Our child loves the school production and has taken part in the Astronomy GCSE - a highlight for us!

Our child has thrived at Colfox, the teachers are supportive and the extracurricular programs are fantastic. We've attended several events, including the Autumn Term Bulletin and the Colfox Carol Concert, and been impressed with the school's commitment to student wellbeing.

"Some improvements needed but overall positive"

I have mixed feelings about our time at Colfox. The school has some amazing programs and a great sense of community, but we experienced some issues with communication and inconsistency in teaching quality. That being said, our child did well and we're grateful for the opportunities they had.
