"Horrible school, with horrible staff"

This school is one of the worst in hertfordshire. This school will punish children for bizzare reasons such as coughing or dropping a pen. In situations when a student is punished for a unvalid reason they do not reason with it or listen, just a straigh suspension or you get kicked into isolation

"Excellent school for my daughter"

We've been at The Grange Academy for a year now and it's been a game changer for our family. The staff are incredibly supportive, the facilities are top-notch, and the values of Knowledge, Aspiration, and Respect are genuinely embedded in the school culture. I've seen my daughter grow in confidence and academic ability, and we couldn't be happier.

"Great school, some minor quirks"

My son has been at The Grange Academy for two years and we've been really pleased with the progress he's made. The curriculum is well-rounded and the teachers are passionate about their subjects. However, we've noticed that communication with parents can be a bit lacking at times, and there's been an issue with the Grange Tie system being a bit confusing. Overall, we'd definitely recommend The Grange Academy to others.

"Transformed my son's life"

The Grange Academy has been a miracle for our family. My son was struggling in his previous school, but since joining The Grange, he's blossomed into a confident and motivated young person. The PSHE and RSE programs are especially impressive, and we've seen a real difference in his emotional well-being and relationships with his peers. Thank you, The Grange Academy!

"Good experience, some areas for improvement"

We left The Grange Academy after two years, but we still look back fondly on our time there. The school's emphasis on knowledge and aspiration is great, and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. However, we felt that the curriculum could be a bit more flexible, and there were some issues with communication between the school and parents. Overall, we'd recommend The Grange Academy to others, but with some caveats.
