About The Green Flying High Academy

Parents at The Green Flying High Academy are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, 94% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. The school is clearly popular locally, too: for its 2025/26 reception intake, it received 77 applications for just 42 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.83. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot. The strength of feeling among parents is reflected in individual responses — 85% strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 82% strongly agreed that their child does well there. A further 85% strongly agreed that the school keeps them informed about what their child will learn. While a small minority expressed concerns about behaviour management and how concerns are handled, the overall picture is one of a school that has earned the trust of the vast majority of its families.
