"Mixed Experience"

We've had a mixed experience at Thornaby Academy. Our son has enjoyed most of his teachers, particularly Mr. Jenkins in maths, but we've had some issues with the school's communication and some of the facilities could be improved. Overall, we're pleased with the progress he's made and the friends he's made, but there's definitely room for improvement.

"Fantastic Education and Support"

We've been thoroughly impressed with the education and support my daughter has received at Thornaby Academy. Her form tutor, Miss Patel, has been particularly helpful and the school's STEM facilities are outstanding. The teachers are all very approachable and have encouraged my daughter to pursue her passions.
