## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Outstanding Support and Opportunities: I'm so impressed with the support Fir Vale Academy offers. My child has excelled in the Performing Arts - Stretch & Challenge program and the staff have been fantastic, always available to help with any questions or concerns. The values of Togetherness, Determination, Respect, Achievement and Kindness are truly ingrained in the school culture. *(Feb 2024)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Start to High School: My child has settled in so well at Fir Vale Academy. The facilities are great, especially the Performing Arts studio where they've been able to explore their passion for music. The Home School Agreement has been really helpful in keeping us informed about our child's progress and the staff have been very welcoming. *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement: We have mixed feelings about Fir Vale Academy. Our child did well in their GCSEs, but we felt that some of the teachers could have been more supportive. The school's focus on careers and personal development is really positive, but we think they could do more to engage with parents. Overall, it's been an okay experience, but we're not entirely satisfied. *(Jun 2023)*
