"Wonderful School, Wonderful Values!"

Our child attended Scissett CE Academy for 4 years and we couldn't be happier. The school's Christian ethos, emphasis on respect and independence, and commitment to academic excellence made all the difference. We miss it here!

"Mixed Feelings, but Room for Improvement"

We're still getting used to Scissett CE Academy, but we're not entirely convinced yet. Some staff seem great, while others seem... distant. Facilities are nice, but we're not sure about the extracurricular activities. More communication would be helpful.
