"Love the SENCO"

My child has been at NJA for a year and has really thrived, especially with the help of Miss Gudge, the SENCO. She's been a lifesaver in terms of supporting my child's needs. The school is lovely, too - the facilities are great and the staff are all very friendly. One of the only reasons I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because sometimes we struggle to get in touch with teachers via email.

"A great start to junior school"

We've had our child at NJA for a year now and it's been an amazing experience. The staff are all so friendly and supportive, and the facilities are top-notch. We love the values they're teaching the kids, especially about kindness and respect. Highly recommend!

"Outstanding school, fantastic staff"

We moved out of the area and our kids had to leave NJA, but we still keep in touch with the staff and the school. They did an amazing job with our children, and we're so grateful for the education and experiences they had. If we could give more stars, we would!

"Not perfect, but some great aspects"

We had our child at NJA for a few years, but we eventually moved out of the area. While we appreciated some of the programs and values they taught, we felt that the communication between teachers and parents could be improved. Also, the facilities were a bit outdated at times. Still, the staff were mostly friendly and supportive, and our child did well there.
