## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic school in every way!: We've been at Casterton Primary Academy for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are kind, caring and really do make my child feel valued. The facilities are great and the homework is just the right amount to reinforce what they're learning in class. I love the Shine Charter and the way the school promotes kindness and respect. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good, but still some room for improvement: My child has been at Casterton Primary Academy for a year now and we've had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the staff are friendly and my child loves her teachers. The facilities are great and the homework is manageable. However, I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and get us involved in school life. I've also noticed that there are sometimes issues with attendance and punctuality, which is a concern for me. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Casterton Primary Academy: a school that truly cares: My children attended Casterton Primary Academy when they were younger and I must say, the school truly lived up to its values. The staff were always approachable and my children loved going to school. The Shine Club was a great bonus as it gave them a chance to get some extra support and make new friends. I've recommended the school to all my friends and would definitely send my next child there. *(Oct 2021)*
