"Amazing Experience for My Children"

I've been blown away by the dedication and passion of the teachers at Leigh Academy Dartford. My child is thriving in the stimulating environment and is constantly encouraged to be her best self. The nursery provision is excellent and the International Baccalaureate curriculum is a great way to prepare her for the future.

"Some Good, Some Room for Improvement"

Overall, we've had a positive experience at Leigh Academy Dartford. The teachers are generally supportive and the curriculum is engaging. However, we've found the communication with the school to be a bit patchy at times, which can be frustrating. We're hoping things will improve as our child progresses.

"Excellent Facilities and Values"

We were really impressed with the school's facilities and the values that the academy promotes. My child loved the Little Birds Nursery and the after-school clubs were a great way to keep them engaged and active. We were sad to leave but are grateful for the experience.
