"Excellent Education and Enrichment Opportunities"

I'm thoroughly impressed with the education my child is receiving at Skinners' Academy. The sixth form is one of the top-achieving in the Borough, and the teachers are passionate about their subjects. The enrichment opportunities, such as the trip to Paris, are a bonus that my child will always cherish.

"Mixed Experience with a Great Community"

I have mixed feelings about my experience at Skinners' Academy. My child enjoyed the creative curriculum and the wealth of enrichment opportunities, but I felt that the pastoral support was sometimes lacking. That being said, the community is warm and inclusive, and I appreciate the emphasis on curiosity, kindness, and bravery.
