## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful School, Happy Child!: We've been at Leigh Academy Hartley for a year now and our daughter has flourished. The teachers are supportive, the facilities are excellent and the values of happiness, positivity and achievement are truly embedded. She loves attending the science clubs and learning from the inquiry-based curriculum. *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — A Good School, but Room for Improvement: We're satisfied with the education our son is receiving, but we do feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and provide clearer communication about progress and development. The facilities are good, but sometimes feel overcrowded. Overall, we're happy, but there's room for improvement. *(Jul 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Support: We moved to the area last year and were initially worried about the school. However, we've been blown away by the dedicated staff and the emphasis on emotional intelligence and well-being. Our son has made great progress and loves the opportunities to participate in sports and clubs. *(Apr 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience: We attended Leigh Academy Hartley for three years and had a fantastic experience. The teachers were always supportive and provided excellent guidance. Our son made great friends and enjoyed the various extracurricular activities on offer. We would definitely recommend the school to others. *(Jan 2022)*
