"Loved every moment of my child's time at Danesholme Junior Academy"

We were so impressed with the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the school. My child thrived under the guidance of the dedicated teachers and loved participating in the various programs, such as the VE Day celebrations and Children in Need. The KRR values of Be Kind, Be Ready, and Be Respectful are truly embedded in the school culture. Highly recommend!

We chose Danesholme Junior Academy for its excellent facilities, including the green spaces and close-knit neighbourhood. The staff are incredibly caring and supportive, and my child has made great friends. The PE days are a great way to encourage physical activity and teamwork. Overall, we're very happy with our decision to enrol our child here.

"Great school"

This school has amazing staff, they are so friendly. When a child is being bullied, they deal with it straight away. They also have amazing patience with students with learning difficulties.
I would do anything to come back here.
They also handled the lockdown amazingly, I enjoyed my time here and miss everyone dearly.

"Good but could improve in some areas"

We had a generally positive experience at Danesholme Junior Academy, but there were some areas for improvement. The school did a great job of fostering curiosity and creativity, and my child enjoyed the various extracurricular activities. However, we felt that the communication between teachers and parents could be better. Overall, it was a good school, but not exceptional.
