"Some Ups and Downs"

My daughter is still settling in at Tuckswood Academy and while she's enjoying herself, I've had some issues with communication from the school. The facilities are lovely, though, and I appreciate the emphasis on 'Be Ready'.

"Excellent Education and Community"

I'm thoroughly impressed with the Tuckswood 5 values that the school promotes. My son has really taken to 'Be Kind' and 'Be Curious' and it's great to see him applying them in his daily life. The facilities are also really good.
