## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional School Experience: My daughter has been attending Great Barford C of E Primary Academy for the past 5 years and we have had an exceptional experience. The staff are caring and dedicated, the facilities are excellent and the values that the school teaches are wonderful. We feel so lucky to have our children at this school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great Start to Education: My son started at Great Barford C of E Primary Academy in Reception and we have been really pleased with the school so far. The nursery staff are fantastic and the school has a lovely atmosphere. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the communication from the school could be improved. *(Jul 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed Experience: We moved to the area a few years ago and our children attended Great Barford C of E Primary Academy for a short time. We found the teachers to be friendly and the school has a nice environment. However, the school's communication and organisation could be better. We decided to move our children to another school due to these issues. *(Mar 2020)*
