## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home from Home: We absolutely love The Gates Primary School! The staff are so friendly and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. Our child has thrived in the 'can-do' culture and loves taking part in the extracurricular activities. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great School with a Heart: We were a bit worried about moving to a new school, but The Gates Primary has been a wonderful surprise. The values and ethos of the school really shine through, and the staff are always approachable and willing to listen. *(Jun 2021)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We had a good experience at The Gates Primary while our child was there, but we felt that some of the communication with the teachers could be better. The school has a lot of great programs and facilities, but it didn't quite live up to our expectations. *(Jan 2020)*
