"Wonderful School - Friendly and Supportive"

My son has been attending Smallthorne Primary Academy for a year now and I couldn't be happier with the school. The staff are so friendly and supportive and my son loves going to school every day. The facilities are great too, especially the playground and the art room.

"Great School with a Great Community"

We moved to the area a year ago and my daughter joined Smallthorne Primary Academy. She has thrived in the school and we have been really impressed with the school's values and ethos. The teachers are all very supportive and the school has a great sense of community.

"Good but Could Be Better"

My daughter has been at Smallthorne Primary Academy for three years and while we have been generally happy with the school, we have had some issues with communication from the teachers. The school has a great curriculum and the facilities are good, but we feel that the school could do more to support parents.

"Excellent School - My Son Thrived"

My son attended Smallthorne Primary Academy for five years and I couldn't be happier with the school. He thrived under the care of the teachers and the school's values of 'Smile, Strive, Shine' really made a positive impact on his life. We were so sad to leave the school when we moved to a different area!
