## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Our Daughter Thrives at John Whitgift Academy: We were a bit nervous about moving our daughter to a new school, but John Whitgift Academy has been a game-changer. The facilities are top-notch, and the staff are so supportive and caring. We love the focus on individual learning pathways and the emphasis on 'Changing Lives'. Our daughter has made so many friends and is really thriving academically. We couldn't be happier with our choice! *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with a Caring Community: We've been at John Whitgift Academy for a year now, and it's been an amazing experience for our son. The teachers are all so passionate about their subjects, and the facilities are incredible - the swimming pools are a highlight! We love the emphasis on collaboration and teamwork, and our son has made some wonderful friends. We feel really supported as parents too, and the communication is great. *(Jun 2023)*
- **4/5** — Great Education, but Some Room for Improvement: We sent our son to John Whitgift Academy several years ago, and while we were overall very happy with the education he received, there were a few areas where we felt the school could improve. The facilities were excellent, and the staff were generally very supportive. However, we felt that the school could have done more to help our son with his SEN needs. That being said, he went on to do really well after leaving the school, so we're grateful for the foundation he received. *(Mar 2022)*
