## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Amazing experience for my son: I was worried about moving my son to Venture Academy but it's been the best decision ever. The staff are so caring and understanding, and the facilities are fantastic. The values of compassion, ambition and partnership really shine through in the way they interact with the children. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some great strengths but areas for improvement: We've been really impressed with the enthusiasm and creativity of the teachers at Venture Academy, particularly in the areas of arts and sports. However, I sometimes feel that the school could do more to communicate with parents about specific issues and concerns. Overall, though, it's been a positive experience for our child. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — A home away from home for our child: Venture Academy has become a second home for our child, who has thrived in the supportive and nurturing environment. The staff are genuinely dedicated to their work and it shows in the way they care for each child as an individual. We feel so grateful to have found this school for our child. *(Oct 2021)*
- **5/5** — Supportive environment for our child: We were so pleased with the way Venture Academy supported our child's transition from primary school. The family footings facilitator was especially helpful in getting our child settled in. Although we've since moved away, I can see the positive impact it had on our child's confidence and resilience. *(Jun 2021)*
