- **4/5** — Needs more support for parents: We have been happy with Co-op Academy Smithies Moor overall, but I do feel that the school could do more to support parents, particularly those with younger children. Communication can be a bit patchy and it would be great to see more regular updates on what's happening in the classroom. That being said, the school's values and programs are excellent and my child loves going to school. *(Jun 2023)*
