"Mixed Bag"

We had a good experience with Widnes Academy, but some of the classes were a bit too focused on rote learning for our taste. We appreciated the PSHE program and the support from the staff, but sometimes felt like our child wasn't being challenged enough. Overall, a solid choice for some families.
