## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional Education and Support: My son has thrived at Garforth Academy, the staff are supportive and the facilities are excellent. The school's commitment to personal development and independent learning is fantastic. I've seen a huge improvement in his confidence and academic progress. *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Experience So Far: My daughter is in her first year at Garforth Academy, and while she's enjoyed some of the extracurricular activities, I've had some concerns about the workload and communication from the teachers. The facilities are excellent, and the staff seem friendly, but I'm not sure if the school really understands the needs of all students yet. *(Jun 2023)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding Education with a Heart: I have two children who attended Garforth Academy, and I couldn't be prouder of the people they've become. The school's values of respect, resilience and responsibility really shine through in the way they treat students and staff. The facilities and resources are top-notch, and the staff are truly dedicated. *(Dec 2022)*
