"My child wanted to belong to a school who is committed to providing quality education and at the same time learning to be independent."

"Best choice for our son, with a good reputation and somewhere he feels safe and comfortable"

"We just had a great feeling as we walked around, loved the feel of the building, the way the year 7 have a separate kind of school and playground within the bigger school."

"We were impressed by the facilities and that the children seemed happy in their environment"

"We were particularly impressed during our visit with what the school has to offer from learning styles to after school clubs to extra support if needed."

"We love the values of the school, global vision, emphasis on a holistic curriculum and supporting students with mental health and emotional wellbeing. We were really impressed when we looked round with the facilities and our son felt it was an environment he would feel good in.

"We were struck by the emphasis on the overall well-being of the child, the holistic approach that is taken to nurturing, supporting and encouraging the children, and the ability to look beyond the academic success. Choosing to also celebrate a child's non academic successes and contributions to the wider community really appealed to us."

"We chose The Skinners' Kent Academy for its IB curriculum, ensuring a smooth transition from our daughter's current school, its inclusive ethos fostering individual potential, and its focus on holistic development through excellent facilities and activities perfectly aligning with our values and her needs."

"We felt the school was the best school that we saw, we loved how inclusive and open it felt, and the opportunity for year 7&8 to integrate into the school. The forest school was really impressive and the science and art classrooms really caught our attention."
