## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about transition to secondary school prep: We've been generally happy with Cherry Fold, but we're a bit concerned about how well the school prepares children for secondary school. My child is in the Scarecrows class, and while they're doing well academically, we worry they're not getting enough support with the transition process. Still, the staff are always helpful and responsive to our concerns. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional community feel and teaching: We've been at Cherry Fold for 4 years now and can honestly say it's the best school our kids have ever attended. The staff are dedicated, caring and really make an effort to get to know each child's strengths and weaknesses. The facilities are great too, especially the forest school and sports pitches. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Love the emphasis on arts and sports: Our child has really flourished at Cherry Fold, especially in the arts and sports programs. The Colour Monsters class is an absolute delight - my child comes home every day buzzing about their latest project or sports success. The school's values of 'Enjoy, Respect, Succeed' really shine through in everything they do. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Helped our child thrive - even in challenging times: We sent our child to Cherry Fold during a difficult time in their life, but the school's commitment to supporting the whole child was invaluable. From the nurture class to the online learning platforms, every aspect of the school was designed to help our child thrive. We're so grateful for the staff's hard work and dedication. *(Jun 2021)*
