"Wonderful Winter Gardens Academy"

We moved our children to Winter Gardens Academy 2 years ago and it's been the best decision we've ever made. The staff are friendly and approachable, the facilities are excellent and the values they teach are exactly what we want for our children. Our daughter is thriving and loves going to school every day.

"Excellent curriculum and caring staff"

We're really impressed with the curriculum at Winter Gardens Academy. Our son is learning so much and is excited to go to school every day. The staff are also very caring and make sure our son feels safe and supported. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is that the school could benefit from some extra facilities, but overall we're very happy.

"Mixed experience"

We had a mixed experience at Winter Gardens Academy. The staff were friendly and our daughter made some great friends, but we felt that the school could do more to support children with SEN. The facilities were also a bit basic compared to some other schools we've seen. We moved our daughter to a different school last year and she's doing much better now.
