## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent school all round!: I am so impressed with Samuel Ward Academy, my son is in Year 9 and thriving. The facilities are excellent, especially the sports equipment and the iPad scheme for the sixth form. The staff are very supportive and the values the school promotes, such as kindness and respect, are fantastic. I highly recommend this school. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Good transition process and supportive staff: We were a bit worried about our daughter's transition from primary school, but the staff at Samuel Ward were very reassuring. They explained the process clearly and kept us updated throughout. My daughter has settled in well and is happy. We're pleased with the school's values and the opportunities available to the students. *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — Some positives but could be improved: I have mixed feelings about Samuel Ward Academy. My son attended the school a few years ago and had a good experience, but there were some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The facilities are decent, but the sixth form programs could be more varied. Overall, it's an okay school, but could be improved. *(Jun 2022)*
