"Wonderful experience at Folly Hill Infant Academy"

I have been blown away by the love, care and dedication of the staff at Folly Hill. From the Breakfast Club to the After School Club, my child has always felt safe and happy. The values of Positivity, Integrity, Respect, Resilience and Aspiration are truly embedded in the school culture. We feel so lucky to be a part of the Folly Hill community.

"Some positives and areas for improvement"

Overall, we are happy with Folly Hill Infant Academy, but there are a few things that have left us feeling a bit underwhelmed. On the plus side, our child loves their teacher and the school's focus on creativity is great. However, we have found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times. We're hoping this will improve as our child settles in more.

"Excellent school with a warm and inclusive environment"

I have nothing but praise for Folly Hill Infant Academy. My child flourished during their time at the school, and I was constantly impressed by the staff's enthusiasm and commitment to providing the best possible education. The school's emphasis on emotional intelligence and well-being is truly admirable. We were sad to leave but know our child is well-prepared for their next stage.
