## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some Mixed Feelings: We've been at Great Whelnetham for a year now and while we're pleased with the progress our daughter has made, we have some mixed feelings about the school. The uniform policy can be a bit strict at times, but the teachers are generally very supportive. We'll likely stick it out for a while longer to see how things develop. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Community: We've been at Great Whelnetham for 3 years now and can't speak highly enough of the school. The values of 'Nurture-Grow-Succeed Together' really shine through in the way the teachers and staff care for the children. Our son has thrived in his time here and we're so grateful for the opportunities he's had. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Great Place for Children: We were at Great Whelnetham for 5 years and really enjoyed our time there. The school has a fantastic curriculum that encourages children to learn and grow in all areas. The facilities are also excellent, our daughter particularly enjoyed the swimming lessons! *(Jan 2021)*
