"A great choice for our family"

My daughter has settled in so well at Sir Donald Bailey Academy and I am loving the communication from the teachers and school staff. The phonics program has been a game-changer for her reading skills and the RE lessons are so engaging. We feel really lucky to have found such a wonderful school.

"A decent school, but some areas for improvement"

My child attended Sir Donald Bailey Academy a few years ago and we were generally happy with the experience. However, I did feel that the school could do more to support children with special educational needs and the facilities were not as impressive as some of the other schools in the area. Overall, it was an okay school, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to others.
