"Some positives and negatives"

We had a mixed experience at Lifton Community Academy. The staff were generally friendly and supportive, but we felt that the curriculum could have been more challenging for our child. The outdoor learning spaces are a highlight, but we felt that there could have been more opportunities for extracurricular activities.

Our child has settled in so well at Lifton Community Academy and we are thrilled with the progress they are making. The Fledglings Foundation Unit is a great introduction to school life and the staff are always available to answer our questions and provide reassurance.
