## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares: We've been at Queens Road for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier. The teachers are kind, patient and go above and beyond to make sure my child feels supported and confident. The school's values of kindness, ambition and discovery are truly reflected in everything they do, from the assemblies to the classroom activities. My child has thrived here and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Memorable Experience: We moved to a different part of the country 2 years ago, but Queens Road will always hold a special place in our hearts. My child's time at the school was truly special, with a mix of fun, learning and support that's hard to find elsewhere. The staff are dedicated, passionate and genuinely care about each child's well-being. We're so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend the school to anyone. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement: We've been at Queens Road for a year now and while we've had some positives, there are areas that need improvement. The teachers are lovely and the school's values are great, but we've experienced some inconsistencies in the teaching quality and a bit of chaos in the classroom at times. We're hoping the school will address these issues and become the best it can be. *(Jan 2022)*
