## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school, wonderful community: As a former parent of The Oratory RC Primary School, I can attest to the incredible impact the school has on its families. From the excellent facilities to the inspiring values-driven education, my child was always supported and challenged to reach their full potential. I highly recommend the school to any family considering it. *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — A good, but not outstanding, school experience: Overall, I'm happy with The Oratory RC Primary School, but I do have some reservations. While the staff are generally friendly and the facilities are good, I feel that the school could do more to engage parents and provide additional support for children with special needs. My child is enjoying Year 1, but I'm not convinced that the school is pushing them as hard as it could. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic school with a heart of gold: I'm so grateful to have found The Oratory RC Primary School for my children. The staff are kind, caring, and dedicated to creating a supportive environment that fosters a love of learning. My child is thriving in Year 5 and I'm constantly impressed by the school's values-driven approach to education. *(Feb 2022)*
