## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional Education and Care: We were a family of four at Sticklepath Community Primary Academy for seven years, and it was an absolute pleasure. My children thrived under the care of the dedicated and passionate teachers, and the school's commitment to a growth mindset and social-emotional learning was truly impressive. The school's facilities are also excellent, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor learning and creative play. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Wonderful School Community: My children have been attending Sticklepath Community Primary Academy for three years now, and we have had a fantastic experience. They love the Forest School program and the way the teachers encourage them to take risks and learn from their mistakes. The school's values of perseverance, embracing challenge, and learning from mistakes really resonate with us as parents. We feel very lucky to be part of this community. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Experience: We have had a bit of a mixed experience at Sticklepath Community Primary Academy. My child enjoys the school's approach to learning and the friendly staff, but we have had some issues with communication and paperwork. The school's values and programs, such as the Forest School and Reading for Pleasure initiatives, are definitely strengths, but we feel that more could be done to support parents and carers. Overall, it's been okay, but we're not entirely sure if it's the right fit for us. *(Nov 2020)*
