"A Good School with Some Areas for Improvement"

We had a good experience at South Bank University Academy, but we did find that the communication between staff and parents could sometimes be lacking. That being said, the teachers were generally excellent and the facilities were well-maintained. We are grateful for the opportunities our child had while attending the academy.
