## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Supportive and Challenging: Our child has really flourished at Crakehall, thanks to the supportive teaching staff and engaging lessons. We appreciate the school's focus on personal development and wellbeing, and the Breakfast Club is a lifesaver for us parents! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the school could benefit from some upgrading of its facilities, but overall we're really pleased. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience: We moved to Crakehall a year ago and have been thoroughly impressed with the school. Our child has thrived in the supportive and inclusive environment, particularly enjoying the Forest School program. The staff are friendly and approachable, and it's clear that the school values are deeply ingrained in the teaching and learning. We feel lucky to have found such a wonderful school. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Happy Memories of Crakehall: We have happy memories of our time at Crakehall, with our child excelling in their phonics and handwriting skills. The school's values of 'Growing Together' really resonated with us, and we appreciated the emphasis on community and mutual respect. While the facilities are a bit dated, the staff make up for it with their enthusiasm and dedication. *(Jun 2021)*
