## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Amazing School Experience!: I have been blown away by the care and dedication shown by the teachers and staff at Airedale Junior Academy. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the values of the school (Care, Aspire, Succeed) are clearly evident in everything they do. My child has thrived here and I couldn't be more grateful. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great School, but a Few Areas for Improvement: We moved out of the area, but I still have many fond memories of our time at Airedale Junior Academy. The school's focus on British Values, RSE, and mental health and wellbeing is excellent, and the teachers are always available to offer support and guidance. However, I felt that the communication with parents could be improved sometimes. *(Dec 2021)*
