"Our son's journey to independence"

Our son attended Prestley Wood Academy for three years and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. The teachers and support staff were always available to answer questions and provide reassurance. The school's values of 'Educate, Empower, Enrich, Enjoy' really helped our son develop the confidence he needed to thrive in his transition to further education. Liam T, Former parent, 2021-09-10

We moved to Prestley Wood Academy last year and couldn't be happier. The staff are so welcoming and the facilities are amazing. We love the emphasis on 'Educate, Empower, Enrich, Enjoy' and it really shows in the way the children are encouraged to learn. Emily W, Parent of Year 7 child, 2022-12-01

"A mixed experience"

We've been at Prestley Wood Academy for a year now and have mixed feelings. The staff are always friendly and the facilities are good, but we've found the communication to be a bit patchy at times. Our child is settling in well, but we've not seen as much progress as we had hoped. Oliver S, Parent of Year 1 child, 2022-03-15
