"Room for Improvement in Communication"

We've had a decent experience at New Road Academy so far, but we've found the communication from teachers and administrators to be a bit inconsistent at times. I've had to chase up a few things that seemed like they should have been straightforward. That being said, our daughter seems happy and engaged, and we appreciate the emphasis on social, academic and personal development.

"Excellent Education and Community"

Our daughter completed her education at New Road Academy a few years ago and is now in her second year of university. We're incredibly proud of her achievements and credit the academy for providing her with a solid foundation for her future. The 'Big Ideas' program really helped her develop a passion for sustainability and community engagement.
