## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the school: My child has been at St Bernard's for several years and while we've had some great experiences, we've also had some issues with communication from the school. The facilities are excellent and the staff are generally friendly, but I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents. *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful staff and excellent facilities: My child has been thriving at St Bernard's since starting in Year 7. The staff are kind, understanding and genuinely care about the children's well-being. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, providing a great learning environment. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional school with a warm and welcoming atmosphere: Our son completed his GCSEs at St Bernard's last year and we couldn't be more proud of him. The school's emphasis on kindness, hard work and resilience has had a lasting impact on his character. We would highly recommend St Bernard's to any family. *(Feb 2022)*
