"Excellent School with Caring Staff"

I've seen Scawsby Junior Academy transform my child since they joined in Year 3. The teachers are supportive and enthusiastic, and the emphasis on RESPECT is brilliant. I love that they encourage the children to participate in sports and enterprise events, it's great to see my child trying new things!

"A Great School with Ambitious Goals"

I've been blown away by the dedication and enthusiasm of the staff at Scawsby Junior Academy. The school's vision of 'Striving for Excellence' really resonates with me and I feel that my child is getting a well-rounded education. The teachers are always available to talk and the school organised a fantastic SATs preparation programme, which really helped my child feel confident.

"A Nice School, but Could Improve"

We have fond memories of our time at Scawsby Junior Academy. The teachers were always available to answer questions and the school organised some great trips and activities. However, my child felt that the homework load was sometimes too heavy and they'd have liked more time to relax. Overall, a nice school, but could do with some tweaks.
