"A bit of a mixed experience"

We've been attending the Wisbech Academy for a few months now and while we like the focus on values and personal growth, we're not entirely convinced by the PE kit policy. It's a bit confusing and we've had to buy a new set of kit for our child, which was a bit of a surprise. Overall, though, the school seems to be improving and we're hopeful for the future.

"A great start to the new academic year!"

We visited the Wisbech Academy for the first open evening and were really impressed with the welcoming atmosphere and the teachers. The facilities are modern and well-equipped, and we love the focus on values and personal growth. Our child is excited to join the school in September!

"Excellent school with a strong sense of community"

We moved our child to the Wisbech Academy from another school and it was one of the best decisions we made. The teachers are dedicated and the facilities are top-notch. Our child thrived in the nurturing environment and made lifelong friends. We highly recommend this school to anyone in the area.
