## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Mixed Feelings: We're still getting used to the new school and the routines that come with it. The staff seem nice, but we're not entirely sure about the curriculum and the homework expectations are a bit high in our opinion. We'll need to see more progress before we give a full thumbs up. *(Jun 2025)*
- **4/5** — A Great Start: I was impressed with the communication from the school before our child started and the staff have been great since their first day. The facilities are modern and clean, and the kids seem to be enjoying the lessons. We're looking forward to seeing how they continue to grow and develop. *(Apr 2025)*
- **5/5** — Inclusive and Supportive: We're really happy with the inclusive approach at Rivertree Free School. The staff are so supportive and understanding, and the kids are all so friendly. We love the emphasis on individualised learning and the opportunities for extra-curricular activities. *(Mar 2025)*
- **5/5** — A New Home for Learning: I'm so impressed with the state-of-the-art facilities at Rivertree Free School! The MUGA area looks like a fantastic place for the kids to get some exercise and have fun. We're really excited to be a part of this new community and can't wait to see the progress the kids make. *(Feb 2025)*
