## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Some positives, but room for improvement: So far, our experience of the school has been mixed. My child has settled in well and enjoys their classes, but I have been a bit disappointed with the communication from the school. I've found it difficult to get in touch with teachers and the online portal can be a bit confusing. I hope that these issues will be addressed in the future. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent support and great facilities: The school has been a great fit for my child, who has really thrived in the supportive environment. The facilities are also excellent and the staff are always available to offer help and advice. I would definitely recommend Ecclesbourne School to any parent. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school and wonderful memories: My children attended this school from 2015-2020 and had an amazing experience. The staff were supportive, the facilities were excellent and the values of the school really resonated with us. I would highly recommend Ecclesbourne School to any parent. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great school with a lot to offer: I am so impressed with the way that the school has supported my child, particularly with their interest in technology. The extracurricular clubs are also fantastic and have helped my child to develop new skills. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I wish the school could provide more opportunities for parental involvement. *(Feb 2022)*
