"A Happy and Stimulating Environment"

We've been at Newsome Junior Academy for two years now and it's been an absolute pleasure. The school's focus on challenge, perseverance and pursuing success has really brought out the best in our child. The facilities are amazing and the staff are always so friendly and supportive.

"A Great School with a Heart"

My child has been at Newsome Junior Academy for a year now and we're really happy with everything. The school's values of respect, responsibility and kindness are something we really value at home and it's great to see them being modelled here. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because we've had a few issues with communication from the school, but overall it's a great place.

"A School that Truly Cares"

My child has now moved on to secondary school, but we still keep in touch with the staff at Newsome Junior Academy and they're always so welcoming and supportive. I was really impressed with the school's commitment to talk, read and write, and the Aim High programme really helped my child develop their confidence and aspirations. If I had to move back to the area, I would definitely consider sending my next child here.
