## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent Education: I'm thrilled with Torquay Academy! My child is really thriving in the supportive environment, and the teachers are always available to help. The facilities are also top-notch, especially the sports centre. The values of Hard work, Integrity, and Pride are truly evident in everything they do. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Sixth Form Experience: I've been impressed with the guidance and support my child has received in the Sixth Form. The tutors are knowledgeable and experienced, and the facilities are excellent. The extracurricular activities, such as the Football Academy, are also a great way for students to develop their skills and interests. *(Jun 2020)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience: I have mixed feelings about Torquay Academy. On the one hand, the teachers were enthusiastic and dedicated, and the facilities were modern and well-maintained. On the other hand, the school seemed to be struggling with behaviour issues, and my child didn't always feel challenged in their lessons. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not the best. *(Mar 2019)*
