"A great school with a real sense of community"

My son has been at Willaston Primary Academy for a few years now and we've been really impressed with the school's values and approach to education. The staff are all so friendly and approachable, and the school's links with the local community are a real strength. We're glad we made the decision to send our son here.

"Excellent school with caring staff and great facilities"

We moved to the area a year ago and were worried about the transition for our daughter. However, the staff at Willaston Primary Academy have been amazing and really supportive. The school's facilities are also excellent, our daughter loves the playground and the Worm Charming event is a highlight of the year.

"A good school with some room for improvement"

I have mixed feelings about our experience at Willaston Primary Academy. On the positive side, the school's Little Acorns Nursery was excellent and really helped our child prepare for school. However, we found the primary school side of things to be a bit hit and miss. The staff were often very busy and it was hard to get in touch with them at times.
