- **4/5** — Mixed Experience but Overall Satisfied: My child attended The Skipton Academy for three years and, overall, we had a positive experience. The school's commitment to mental health and wellbeing is impressive and the teachers are generally supportive. However, the communication between parents and teachers could be improved sometimes. Still, we're grateful for the education our child received. *(Jun 2022)*
