## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Amazing from start to finish: Our child attended Unity Primary Academy from Reception to Year 6 and we were consistently impressed with the school's commitment to providing a well-rounded education. The Little City Experience was a highlight for our child and the Christmas dinner and jumper day was a lovely event to be part of. We're so grateful for the memories and education our child received here. *(Aug 2023)*
- **4/5** — Good school with areas for improvement: We've been parents at Unity Primary Academy for a few years now and while we're generally happy with the school, there are some areas that could be improved. Communication with parents can be a bit hit or miss and we've experienced some issues with attendance in the past. However, the teachers are mostly great and the school's focus on attendance and punctuality is something that resonates with us. *(Jun 2023)*

Our child is happy and thriving, and we're so grateful to be a part of this wonderful community. *(Oct 2022)*
