- **5/5** — Excellent education and values: My child attended John Taylor Free School for four years and I was thoroughly impressed with the education they received. The values of the school, such as 'Resilience' and 'Teamwork', were instilled in them and have stayed with them long after they left. I would highly recommend the school. *(Jul 2022)*

The facilities are excellent and the staff are generally very supportive, but I've had a few issues with getting information about school events and policies. *(Jun 2022)*
