"Promising start to our journey at Worden"

We're only at the start of our journey at Academy @ Worden, but so far we're really impressed. My child loves the uniform and the teachers seem very supportive. We're looking forward to seeing how they develop the STEM program and the opportunities for the children to get involved in the community.

"Excellent education and values at Academy @ Worden"

We've been at Academy @ Worden for a few years now and I'm so impressed with the education and values the school instills in the children. My child has grown in confidence and we love the commitment to community and respect. The facilities are great too, from the sports pitches to the library.

"Mixed feelings about our time at Worden"

We were at Academy @ Worden for a few years before moving out of the area. While the school has its strengths, such as the annual awards evening and the commitment to integrity, we felt that the facilities could be improved and the online safety program was a bit inconsistent. Still, it's a good school and I'm sure our child got a good education.
