"Excellent Support from Teachers"

We've been really impressed with the support our child has received from their teachers, particularly Miss Thompson in year 8. She's always available to answer questions and offer extra help when needed. The school's facilities are also top-notch, especially the new sports hall.

"Room for Improvement in Behaviour"

While my child loves the John Smeaton Academy, we've noticed that the behaviour of some students can be a problem. The teachers do their best, but it's not always easy to get them to focus. That being said, the school has a great atmosphere and the staff are generally very supportive.
