"Outstanding Support for Our Child"

I've been blown away by the support and care shown by Newmarket Academy to my child. The school's pastoral system is excellent, and the teachers are always available to offer help and guidance. My child is thriving at the school, and I believe it's due to the school's commitment to their wellbeing and academic success.

"Some Areas for Improvement"

I've had a mixed experience with Newmarket Academy. The school's values and approach to teaching are great, but I've found some of the communication from teachers to be poor. My child is also struggling with some of the homework, and I've found it difficult to get support from the teachers. However, I do think the school is working hard to improve, and I'm hopeful that things will get better.
