- **5/5** — Happy and Confident Child: My child has thrived at Holy Rosary. The class sizes are small, the teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the extracurricular activities are fantastic. We love the emphasis on collective worship and the way the school encourages children to be their best selves. *(Sep 2021)*
- **5/5** — Strong Support for Learning: As a parent, it's reassuring to see the school's commitment to providing a broad and balanced curriculum. The teachers are skilled and dedicated, and the school's approach to supporting children's emotional health and wellbeing is commendable. My child is making great progress and is happy to come to school. *(Mar 2021)*
- **3/5** — Mixed Experience: I have mixed feelings about Holy Rosary. On the one hand, the school has a lovely atmosphere and the teachers are generally warm and welcoming. On the other hand, I felt that the school didn't do enough to support my child's special needs, and the communication with parents could be improved. Overall, a decent school, but not without its flaws. *(Nov 2020)*
