"Mixed feelings about Leigh Academy Milestone"

We have mixed feelings about Leigh Academy Milestone. The school has some amazing facilities and the staff are always available to talk. However, we have found the communication with teachers to be a bit lacking at times. Our child is making progress, but it's not as fast as we had hoped.

"Outstanding experience at Leigh Academy Milestone"

My son has been at Leigh Academy Milestone for 2 years now and we have had an outstanding experience. The teachers are supportive and the facilities are amazing. The school's values of happy, aspirational learners who are safe, supportive, curious communicators really shine through. I couldn't recommend this school enough.

We are so happy with the progress our daughter has made at Leigh Academy Milestone. The staff are always available to talk and the Boccia and Kurling Festival Fun event was a great example of the school's commitment to inclusive activities. We feel very lucky to have found this school.
