## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Education suffered in the name of religion.: There were some good trips and events, a nice playground, and some friendly teachers. Of course, there were also some bad teachers, and bullying amongst older students was a problem. When I was there, and this may have changed since, the religious nature of the school was taken to the extreme. Yes, it has a Catholic focus, but religion should never be taught as fact. I should not have been left to go to secondary school with zero knowledge of other religions at all, nor zero sex education. *(Dec 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good School, Room for Improvement: We have been at St Edmund's for 4 years and overall it has been a positive experience. However, the school's administration could be more efficient and communication with parents could be improved. The staff are generally very good and the facilities are good too. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School: We have been at St Edmund's for a year now and it has been an excellent experience for our child. The staff are very friendly and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. Our child has settled in well and loves attending the school. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School: We have been at St Edmund's for 3 years now and it has been a fantastic experience for our child. The staff are incredibly supportive and caring, and the facilities are excellent. My child loves attending the school and has made many friends. We feel very lucky to have chosen St Edmund's. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful Values: We moved out of the area but our child is still at St Edmund's in Reception. The values of the school are truly inspiring and we feel that they are preparing our child for a wonderful future. The Head Teacher is approachable and the staff are always willing to listen. *(May 2021)*
