## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Room for Improvement, but Lots of Potential: We've been at Howard Community Academy for a year now and while it's been a mixed experience, we're hopeful for the future. The school has some lovely facilities, but sometimes the communication with parents can be a bit patchy. However, the teachers seem to genuinely care about the children and we're seeing our child make progress in some areas, so we're keeping our fingers crossed. *(Aug 2023)*
- **5/5** — An Outstanding Education for My Child: My daughter attended Howard Community Academy from Reception to Year 6 and it was an incredible experience. The teachers were always approachable, the facilities were excellent and the values of the school truly resonated with us. She has gone on to excel at secondary school and we're so grateful to the school for laying the foundations for her future success. *(Jun 2023)*
- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home for My Son: We've been at Howard Community Academy for 2 years now and it's been an absolute delight. The staff are warm, welcoming and truly care about the children's well-being. My son has thrived in the nurturing environment and loves the regular feedback on his progress. We're so grateful to be a part of this community. *(Feb 2023)*
