"Lovely Teachers"

We've been really impressed with the teachers at Longwood Infant Academy. They're all so passionate and caring, and my child loves going to school. The wraparound care is also a big plus for us - it's great to know they're safe and happy after school. Overall, we're thoroughly enjoying our time at the academy.

"Some Room for Improvement"

We've been pleased with the majority of our experience at Longwood Infant Academy, but there are a few areas that need some work. The communication from the school could be better, and sometimes the staff seem a bit stretched. However, the children seem happy and engaged, and we're hoping that things will improve over time.

"Exceptional School"

I've been blown away by the support and care shown by the staff at Longwood Infant Academy. My child is thriving and I love the Flying High values that underpin everything they do. The facilities are great too, with plenty of space for the kids to play. We're so glad we made the decision to join the Pinxton Village Academies family.
