"Mixed Experience but Generally Positive"

We're still in the process of applying for a place at MCA, but I have to say that I'm impressed with the induction programme and the support offered to Year 7 students. The school's values and vision are also a big plus for us. However, I do think that the school could do more to engage with parents of children in other year groups.

"Lovely School with Great Values"

We have been with MCA for a year now and I can honestly say it's been a great choice for our daughter. The staff are so friendly and supportive, and the values of respect, responsibility and resilience really shine through. The facilities are also great, especially the new sports hall!

"An Outstanding School"

My daughter left MCA in 2020 and is now thriving at sixth form. I was so impressed with the school's commitment to providing a well-rounded education and the opportunities for students to develop their skills and interests. The teachers were always available for support and the school's research focus was a real selling point for us.
