## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — An Amazing School Experience: My child has been attending Leigh Academy Rainham for the past three years, and we've been thoroughly impressed with the school's commitment to providing a well-rounded education. The facilities are excellent, and the teachers are always available to support the children. We particularly love the focus on individuality and the emphasis on 'Dream, Believe and Achieve'. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Experience: We moved our child to Leigh Academy Rainham two years ago, hoping for a better experience. While the school has some great teachers and facilities, we've noticed that the school can be quite disorganized at times. The IB programme has been a great fit for our child, but we'd like to see more consistency in the curriculum. *(May 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great Start to Our Child's Education: We're really happy with Leigh Academy Rainham so far. My child has settled in well, and we've been impressed with the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. The school's commitment to inclusivity and diversity is also something we appreciate. The only thing we'd like to see is more opportunities for extracurricular activities. *(Jan 2022)*
