"Mixed Experience"

We've had a mixed experience at Guilsborough Academy. Our child has enjoyed some of the extracurricular activities, but we've had some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's focus on mutual respect and tolerance is lovely, but we feel that it could be more consistent. Overall, we're still deciding whether to stay at the school.

"Exceptional Education and Care"

My daughter attended Guilsborough Academy and we can't speak highly enough of the school. The teachers were always available to answer questions and the school's commitment to learning without limits is inspiring. The transition program for Year 6 students was also very helpful for our daughter. We're grateful for the education and care she received here.
