## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Real Community Feeling: We moved to the area last year and were initially worried about finding a good school. But from the first open day we felt welcome at Mercia Academy. The staff are always happy to help, and my child's come home every day excited to tell us about their day. Highly recommend! *(Aug 2025)*
