‘Hertswood Academy is a calm and pleasant place for pupils to learn.’

Many pupils told inspectors that staff encourage pupils to aim for extraordinary goals in life. As a result, many pupils take impressive next steps in their education and careers.’
‘Pupils told inspectors that they enjoy going to the school and appreciate the remarkable new buildings.’
