"Fantastic School Experience"

We've been at Crabbs Cross Academy for over 5 years now and couldn't be happier. The staff are caring, the facilities are excellent, and the values they teach our children are truly inspiring. My child has flourished here, and we feel so lucky to be part of the community.

"Mixed Feelings"

My child is having a tough time adjusting to Year 1, and while the teachers are trying their best, I feel like the class size is a bit too big for their liking. On the other hand, the facilities are great, and the school's values are really resonating with my child. We'll see how things go over the coming months.

"A Great All-Rounder"

We've been really impressed with the home learning resources provided by the school, as well as the opportunities our child has had to learn new skills through the Pupil Premium program. The teachers are all very supportive, and we feel our child is receiving a well-rounded education.

"Still Impressed"

We left Crabbs Cross Academy a year ago, but I'm still singing the school's praises! The staff were always approachable and willing to listen, and my child loved their Year 4 teacher, Miss Jarvis. While there were a few teething problems with the online safety program, overall we had a great experience.
