"Excellent Support for My Child"

I've been impressed with the level of support my child has received at Ark Blake Academy, particularly the excellent pastoral care. The music program has also been a highlight, my child has thrived under the guidance of the music team.

"A Mixed Experience So Far"

My child is still settling into the academy, but I've noticed some inconsistencies in the quality of teaching. However, the Chromebooks have been a great addition, and my child is enjoying the variety of digital resources available to them.
