"Great School with a Focus on Community"

As a parent, it's wonderful to see the school's commitment to British Values and promoting positive behavior. My child loves the varied diet of experiences and the Read Write Inc program has really helped them catch up with their reading. One thing to improve would be more communication with parents about upcoming events.

"Mixed Feelings about Adderlane"

I have mixed feelings about Adderlane Academy. On the one hand, my child had a great time and made some wonderful friends. However, I felt that the communication with parents was sometimes lacking, and I had to chase up on a few issues. That being said, the school does have a lot to offer and I'm glad I gave it a try.
