## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Support: We moved to Addington Valley Academy two years ago and have seen our children thrive. The teachers, especially Mrs. Thompson in Year 5, are dedicated and go above and beyond to help each child reach their potential. The school's facilities, including the sports hall and library, are well-maintained and provide a great environment for learning. *(Jul 2025)*
- **4/5** — Good, but Room for Improvement: My child started at Addington Valley Academy last September and so far, we're relatively happy. However, we've experienced some issues with communication between teachers and parents, which can make it difficult to stay on top of homework and progress. That being said, the school's atmosphere is generally positive, and the headteacher, Mr. Lee, seems committed to making changes for the better. *(Jun 2025)*
