## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent school and staff!: My child has been attending Friarage Community Academy for 2 years now and we're absolutely loving it. The staff are very supportive, and the school's motto 'Together we can' really shows in the way they work together to ensure every child thrives. The facilities are also great, with plenty of green spaces for the kids to play. *(Feb 2024)*
- **4/5** — Friendly and welcoming environment: We're new to the area and really like the feel of Friarage Community Academy. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and our child seems to be adapting really well to their new class. The school's value of respect is definitely something we can get behind. *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — Good school but could improve: We have a good experience with Friarage Community Academy when our older child attended. However, we did find the after-school club to be a bit disorganised at times. The school's leadership team is working hard to improve outcomes, but we think they could do more to engage with the local community. *(Jun 2023)*
