## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent School with Exceptional Staff!: I'm so impressed with Babington Academy! My child is thriving in their Year 8 class and the staff are always available to support us. The school's values of Respect, Ambition, and Resilience really shine through in the way they treat the children. We've even joined the school's running club and my child has made some wonderful friends from other classes. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings about Babington: We've had a bit of a mixed experience with Babington Academy so far. My child is enjoying their classes and the teachers seem nice, but we've had some issues with communication from the school office. The school's values are great, but I'm not sure they're always consistently applied. We're still happy with our choice, but I hope things improve in the coming months. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great Community Spirit and Facilities: As a former parent to a Year 6 student, I can honestly say that Babington Academy has a fantastic community spirit. The facilities are also top-notch, with a great library and sports hall. My child really enjoyed their time at the school and made some lasting friendships. One thing that stands out is the way the school engages with parents - we were always kept informed about our child's progress and were encouraged to get involved in school events. *(Sep 2021)*
