## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some minor issues, but overall a good school: We've had a generally positive experience at Ridgeway Primary, but there have been a few incidents with bullying and communication from the school could be better. Hopefully, the school will continue to work on these areas. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great school for our children: We've been so impressed with Ridgeway Primary Academy. The staff are friendly and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. Our child loves the OPAL program and the homework tasks are engaging and fun. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional education and care: We're really happy with the education and care our child is receiving at Ridgeway Primary. The school's values and STAR curriculum really resonate with us, and the teachers are always willing to listen and help. *(Nov 2021)*
- **4/5** — A great experience for our child: We moved to a new area and our child had to change schools. Ridgeway Primary made the transition so smooth and our child settled in quickly. The school's focus on outdoor play and learning was a great bonus. *(Jun 2021)*
