## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some Great Aspects, Room for Improvement: While my child has enjoyed their time at the Portsmouth Academy, I do think there are areas where the school could improve. The teachers are often overwhelmed and it takes a while to get responses from the administration. However, the school does offer some great programs, like the app development project, that really showcase the students' talents. With a bit more support and resources, I think the Academy could excel even more. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with Amazing Facilities: I've been impressed with the Portsmouth Academy's facilities, especially the STEM lab where my child has been working on some fantastic projects. The school's values of Aspire, Achieve, and Respect are clearly evident in the way the teachers and staff work with the children. My child has thrived here and I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful school. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — A True Community Hub: I have so many fond memories of my time at the Portsmouth Academy as a parent. From the annual fairs to the parent-teacher conferences, the school always felt like a true community hub. My child has grown into an amazing young adult with the skills and confidence to succeed. Thanks to the Academy for all the support and guidance! *(Dec 2021)*
