"Excellent school with a wonderful atmosphere"

I'm so impressed with the warm welcome my child received when they joined Gilbert Inglefield Academy. The teachers are supportive, and the facilities are fantastic. My child loves the clubs they've joined, especially the gardening club, and the Arbor app has made it easy for me to stay connected with their schoolwork. I feel so grateful to be a part of this school community!

"A great school with a strong sense of kindness"

My child has really settled in at Gilbert Inglefield Academy, and I love the emphasis on kindness and integrity. The teachers are enthusiastic and dedicated, and the school's commitment to inclusivity is impressive. My child has made some great friends, and I'm confident they're learning a lot. One area for improvement could be the communication with parents - sometimes I feel like I'm in the dark about what's going on. But overall, I'm very happy with the school!

"Mixed feelings about my experience"

I have mixed feelings about my time at Gilbert Inglefield Academy. On the one hand, my child thrived academically and made some great friends. The school's values of integrity, growth, and kindness are genuine, and I appreciated the emphasis on pastoral care. On the other hand, I often felt like I was fighting an uphill battle to get my child's needs met - the communication with the school wasn't always clear, and I had to push for certain accommodations. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it to others.
