The school's focus on community development and partnerships with local businesses is truly inspiring. My child loves the new playground and I love the regular updates from the teachers. *(Feb 2023)*

My child has settled in quickly and is thriving in their new school. The trust's values really shine through in the way they engage with the local community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience: We moved out of the area before our child completed their time at Castleward Spencer Academy, so I can only comment on our experience during the initial years. While the staff were friendly and the facilities were good, I felt that the curriculum could be more flexible to accommodate different learning styles. *(Jun 2022)*
