"A welcoming and inclusive school"

Atkinson Road Primary Academy has been a wonderful experience for my child. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are excellent. My child loves the forest school and the breakfast club, and the sense of community is fantastic.

"Outstanding personal development"

I've been impressed by the personal development of my child since joining Atkinson Road Primary Academy. The school's focus on social skills, emotional intelligence, and British values has been really evident. The staff are supportive and encourage the children to be independent learners.

"Mixed experience"

We had a mixed experience at Atkinson Road Primary Academy. The staff were generally friendly, but there were some issues with communication and organisation. The facility was nice, and the children enjoyed the forest school. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not outstanding.
