## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent support for our child: The teachers at Sir Donald Bailey Academy have been fantastic in supporting my child through some challenging times. The pastoral care is second to none and the staff are always available to listen and offer advice. We have had a great experience at the school and would highly recommend it. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school experience: I have been blown away by the support and care that the staff at Sir Donald Bailey Academy have shown my son. The facilities are excellent and the emphasis on values such as Be Safe and Be Respectful really resonates with me. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a nurturing and aspirational environment. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — 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. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — 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. *(Jan 2021)*
