## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Good, but some areas for improvement: I've been impressed with the effort the school puts into ensuring my child is happy and supported, but I do think there are some areas where they could improve. The school seems to be constantly trying to innovate and improve, which is great to see. My child enjoys going to school, which is the most important thing to me. *(May 2025)*
- **5/5** — A Hidden Gem in Bolton: I was a bit skeptical about sending my child to a state school, but I've been blown away by The Ferns Primary Academy. The teachers are caring, the facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the sense of community is fantastic. My child has thrived here and I couldn't be happier with the decision to send them here. *(May 2025)*
