"Excellent Education and Values"

We're really happy with the education our child is receiving at Newquay Junior Academy. The teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the school's values of mutual respect and tolerance are really evident in the way the children interact with each other. My only criticism is that the school meals could be improved!

"Fantastic School Experience"

We've had our child at Newquay Junior Academy for a few years now and it's been a fantastic experience. The teachers are supportive and the facilities are great, with lots of opportunities for outdoor learning. My child is thriving and can't wait to go back in the morning!

"Okay Experience, But Room for Improvement"

We moved our child to Newquay Junior Academy a few years ago and while the school has some great qualities, we've had some issues with consistency and communication. The teachers are generally good, but we've had some concerns about the way the school handles behaviour and discipline. Overall, it's been an okay experience, but we think the school could improve in some areas.
