"Room for improvement"

I love the ethos of the school and the staff are all very friendly. However, I've found the communication to be a bit patchy at times. My child is enjoying their time at Parkside, but I do think the school could do more to engage with parents.

"Best school ever!"

I was a bit skeptical about sending my child to Parkside, but I've been blown away by the quality of teaching and the care the staff show to the kids. The school's focus on social and emotional learning is fantastic.
