## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Best time ever: Gave me some of the best years of my life. Would do it all again if I could. Most of the staff were entertaining and related to the kids well. Still miss it till this day and I’m 29 this year. I am forever greatful to spend 8 years here. *(Feb 2025)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school experience for our little ones!: My husband and I are thoroughly impressed with Newbottle Primary Academy. The facilities are excellent, the teachers are caring and attentive, and the extra-curricular activities have helped our child develop new skills and confidence. The forest school program is particularly great - our child loves going on nature walks and learning about the outdoors. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Supportive and inclusive community: We've been so pleased with the way Newbottle Primary Academy has supported our child academically and emotionally. The values of kindness, empathy, and respect are evident in everything they do, and we feel welcome and included as a family. We particularly appreciate the mental health and wellbeing initiatives - it's clear that the school prioritizes the well-being of all its students. *(Mar 2023)*
- **3/5** — Good, but room for improvement: We had a mixed experience with Newbottle Primary Academy. On the one hand, the school has a lovely community feel and the teachers are generally supportive. However, we felt that our child's individual needs weren't always met, and there were some issues with communication between teachers and parents. Perhaps a bit more consistency and organization would make this school truly shine? *(Jun 2022)*
