"Excellent School"
I'm so impressed with the facilities here at Mallard Academy. My child loves attending the school and always comes home excited to tell me about their day. The values of the school really resonate with me and I love how they encourage the children to be motivated, ambitious and respectful.

"Good but could improve"
We have been reasonably happy with the school so far, the teachers are friendly and the facilities are good. However, I feel that the communication between home and school could be better, and sometimes we don't receive updates on our child's progress. We are hoping that this will improve as our child progresses through the school.
