"Amazing support for my daughter's growth"

I've been blown away by the support and care that the team at OA Tunbridge Wells have shown my daughter. The enrichment programs and facilities have really helped her to discover her strengths and passions. The Olive Way values are truly embedded in the academy's culture and it's clear that the staff are committed to helping each student reach their potential.

"Excellent support for students with behavioural challenges"

My son was struggling at school due to personal issues but the team at OA Tunbridge Wells have been incredible in supporting him. The behaviour and attendance guidance has been really helpful in getting him back on track and the staff have been super understanding and supportive. The facilities are also great - the photography room is amazing!

"Encouraging and supportive environment"

I was a bit worried about sending my child to an alternative provision academy but OA Tunbridge Wells has been a great choice. The staff are all really enthusiastic and dedicated to helping each student succeed. The project-based learning approach is also really engaging and has helped my child to develop some valuable skills.

"Mixed experience, but potential for growth"

We had a bit of a mixed experience with OA Tunbridge Wells while our child was there. Some of the staff were really supportive and helped our child to make progress, but others seemed a bit inconsistent. The facilities are great, though, and the Olive Way values are really inspiring. I think the academy has potential but needs to work on consistency and communication with parents.
