- **5/5** — A wonderful experience for our child: We have been so impressed with the caring and nurturing environment at Sheep Dip Lane Academy. Our child has thrived in the Forest School program and loves the 'reading snuggery areas' where she can relax and get lost in a book. The staff are always happy to help and communicate with us. We feel so lucky to be part of the Sheep Dip community! *(Jun 2022)*

I was impressed with the range of activities and clubs on offer, including the sports and environmental programs. The staff were always supportive and encouraging, and my son loved the beach area where he could learn and play. I would definitely recommend this school to other families. *(Feb 2020)*
