## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent: It's nice at Lampard community School *(Nov 2024)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic community spirit: We've had a fabulous experience at Lampard so far. The school's values of building positive relationships and promoting independence really shine through. My son has thrived in the Middle School, and the Tree Planting events have been a highlight of his year. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is that I've noticed a bit of variability in the quality of teaching - but overall, I'm very happy with the progress my son is making. *(Feb 2023)*
- **3/5** — Mixed experience so far: We're still getting used to the school, but so far it's been a bit hit-or-miss. My daughter loves the Lower School, but I've had some concerns about the communication with the teachers - sometimes it feels like they're not really listening to our concerns. The School Farm is great, though, and the Outdoor Learning program has been a highlight of her year. We're giving it a chance to settle in, but I do hope things improve. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — AMAZING School!: My daughter has been at Lampard for a year now and I can honestly say it's been life-changing. The staff are so caring and supportive, and the focus on independence and communication has been just what she needed. I love the Learning Outside the Classroom program too, she's learned so much about animal care and it's sparked a real passion in her. *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — Not good education: Teachers are not allowed tell parents about son and daughter what needs and problems they got. *(Nov 2021)*
- **5/5** — Lampard prepared my child for adult life: My child graduated from Lampard a few years ago and I can honestly say it prepared them for the ups and downs of adult life. The bespoke curriculum and focus on skills for life really gave them a solid foundation for their future. I was a bit worried about the transition to the School Farm, but it's been a revelation - my child has a real passion for animal care now! *(May 2021)*
