"Exceptional Care and Education"

We've been so impressed with New Penshaw Academy - the staff genuinely care about the children and strive to provide the best education possible. My child thoroughly enjoys attending nursery and has made friends with the other kids. The 'caring, supportive and friendly environment' mentioned on the website is spot on, it's a truly welcoming place.

"Love the School's Values"

As a parent, it's reassuring to see a school that prioritizes the 'love of learning to last a lifetime'. My child has grown in confidence since joining New Penshaw and the teachers are always available to provide additional support when needed. The facilities are also great, my child loves the playground and the school's commitment to health and wellbeing

"Good, but Some Room for Improvement"

We left New Penshaw a few years ago, but we still keep in touch with the teachers and staff. While the school does a good job of creating a welcoming environment, we found the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit hit-and-miss at times. The curriculum was engaging, but we felt that some of the homework could've been more challenging
