## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Outstanding Education and Community: We've been so impressed with Marine Academy Plymouth. My child has grown so much since starting in Year 7 and the teachers are always supportive and approachable. The open events and weekly open mornings when we first visited helped us get a feel for the school's values and I feel confident that our child is receiving a world-class education. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Positive Memories of Marine Academy Plymouth: Our child attended Marine Academy Plymouth from Year 7 to Year 11 and we have many fond memories. The school's focus on academic rigor, cultural enrichment, and personal development was evident throughout their time there and we feel it has prepared them well for their future. Our only reason for leaving was due to a family move. *(Jul 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience at Marine Academy Plymouth: We were excited to join Marine Academy Plymouth but have found it to be a mixed experience. While the school has a strong focus on good manners and respect, we've noticed some variability in teaching quality and the Sixth Form's support for our child has been inconsistent. We're hoping the school will address these issues in the coming year. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Sixth Form Experience: We were drawn to Marine Academy Plymouth's Sixth Form for its strong track record of sending students to top universities and the opportunity for students to take ownership of their learning. Our child has thrived in the supportive environment and the guidance from staff has been invaluable. We couldn't be prouder of their progress! *(Jan 2022)*
