Experience: Good facilities, STEM emphasis, students are kept busy with homework.
Staff are arrogant, unprofessional, and careless with their communications -They have called and sent emails about my child, which upon investigation were all falsehoods, and they never apologized . Mails do not get replied until multiple reminders, responses when finally given are arrogant even when the school is clearly in the wrong.
Areas: Communication, Environment, Teaching quality, Leadership
Impact: My Child feels unsafe
Impact on my child: Academic progress
School responsiveness: Limited or unclear response
Inclusion support: Not applicable
Summary: A beautifully built school with arrogant and unprofessional staff and leadership.

"A Great School Community"

We've been part of the Maritime Academy community for a few years now, and we couldn't be happier. The school's focus on academic excellence and personal development has really helped our child thrive. We love the school's inclusive and supportive atmosphere, and the range of extracurricular activities on offer is fantastic. We feel grateful to have found such a wonderful school.

"Mixed Feelings"

We've had a slightly mixed experience at Maritime Academy. On the one hand, the school's emphasis on STEM subjects and problem-solving skills is really great, and our child's academic progress has been good. On the other hand, we've found the school's communication with parents to be a bit patchy at times, and we've had some issues with the online homework platform. Overall, we're happy with the school, but there's room for improvement.

"Excellent Education and Facilities"

We've been really impressed with Maritime Academy's commitment to our child's education. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and supportive. We feel confident that our child is getting the best possible education. The school's emphasis on traditional values and respect for others is also something that we really appreciate.
