The school's values of openheid, verscheidenheid, and democratie really shine through in the way the teachers and staff interact with the children. We've particularly appreciated the emphasis on socialisatie and emancipatie, which has helped our child develop into a confident and curious learner. The facilities are also top-notch, with plenty of space for the kids to run around and learn. *(Sep 2022)*

The teachers are always available to offer support and guidance, and the school's focus on zorg en gelijke kansen means that every child receives the attention they need to thrive.

- **4/5** — Good, but Could be Better: We had a generally positive experience at Gemeentelijke Basisschool Heestert, but there were a few areas that could be improved. The school's emphasis on wereldburgerschap is fantastic, and our child developed a real appreciation for different cultures through the school's programs. However, we felt that the school could do more to support children with special needs, and the communication between teachers and parents could sometimes be a bit patchy. *(Jun 2021)*
