"A good school with some minor issues"

We've been at Southery Academy for a few years now and overall we're happy with the school. The teachers are great and the facilities are good but there have been a few issues with communication and organisation at times.

"An amazing school!"

We've been at Southery Academy for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier! The staff are friendly, the facilities are great and the values they teach the children are wonderful. We've seen our child grow and develop so much since starting here.
