"Excellent School and Community!"

We've been absolutely delighted with St Giles C of E Academy. The staff are so supportive and caring, and the school's values of respect, hope, and faith really shine through. Our daughter has thrived in the nursery and we've loved getting involved in the school community through events and volunteering. Highly recommend!

"A Great School Experience for Our Child"

We sent our child to St Giles for 5 years and had a fantastic experience. The school's focus on phonics and early reading was really effective and our child made great progress. We also appreciated the school's commitment to its Christian values and the sense of community that came with it. A great choice for any family looking for a supportive and academically rigorous school.

"Room for Improvement, But a Good Foundation"

We've been at St Giles for 2 years now and have mixed feelings. The school has a great ethos and our child has benefited from the wrap-around care and extracurricular activities. However, we've sometimes felt that the communication from the school could be better and that there's a lack of transparency around certain policies and procedures. Still, the school has a good foundation and we're hopeful they'll address our concerns.
