## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent school experience for our child: My child has been attending Bishop Carpenter CE Primary School for two years now, and it's been an absolute delight to see them grow and develop their skills. The school's Christian values of contemplative, compassionate and courageous have really resonated with our family, and the staff are always so supportive and encouraging. The facilities are also top-notch, with a lovely outdoor area for the kids to play and learn. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A loving and inclusive community: Bishop Carpenter CE Primary School has been a wonderful experience for our child so far. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, and the Christian values of the school have really helped our child feel a sense of belonging and purpose. We love the emphasis on creativity and exploration, and the outdoor areas are always a hit with the kids. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school with some areas for improvement: We had a mixed experience at Bishop Carpenter CE Primary School, where our child attended for three years. On the one hand, the staff were always very supportive and encouraging, and the Christian values of the school were a lovely addition to our child's education. However, we did feel that the school could do more to address the needs of children with SEND, and the communication could be improved at times. *(Mar 2020)*
