My child has been at Wayland Academy for three years and I've seen them grow and thrive. The school's facilities are top-notch, with state-of-the-art sports equipment and a fantastic music department. My child has always felt supported and encouraged by the teachers and staff. I'm so grateful to be a part of this community.

"A great place to learn and grow"

My child started at Wayland Academy this year and it's been an amazing experience so far. The school's values of kindness, respect, and empathy align perfectly with our family's values, and I love seeing my child apply them in everyday life. The teachers are passionate and dedicated, and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. I feel confident that my child is in good hands.

"Mixed experiences"

My child attended Wayland Academy for two years, and while it was a great experience in some ways, it wasn't without its challenges. The school's focus on sports and activities was a highlight for my child, but I felt that the curriculum was sometimes too focused on rote learning rather than encouraging creativity and critical thinking. Overall, I'm glad my child had the opportunity to attend, but I think the school could benefit from some refinements to its approach.
