## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent teachers and resources: The teachers at Cardinal Griffin are passionate and dedicated, and the school's resources are top-notch. Our child loves the Sixth Form program, and the school's emphasis on social responsibility is really inspiring. We're so pleased we chose this school. *(Nov 2022)*
- **2/5** — Cardinal Griffin's Sixth Form is going down hill: I decided to stop on at Cardinal Griffin for sixth form and I must say, it was a mistake. The majority of staff at Cardinal Griffin are lovely, they'll attempt to help you out with things and they genuinely tried, but how backwards the school has started reaching has pushed quite a few away from the school. Sixth formers are no longer treated like adults (as promised) despite sixth form being a transition into adulthood, plus the lack of care for student wellbeing. Anyway, I moved to Cannock Col… *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent all-round education: I'm so impressed with the education my child is receiving at Cardinal Griffin Catholic College. The Accelerated Reader program has been a game-changer for their reading skills, and the 'Men and Women for Others' values are truly embedded in the school culture. The facilities are also top-notch, with great sports facilities and a lovely campus. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A warm and welcoming community: My child started at Cardinal Griffin in Year 7, and we've been blown away by the warm and welcoming community. The staff are always approachable and supportive, and the school's Catholic ethos is genuinely inspiring. We feel so lucky to be a part of this community. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great education, some logistical issues: We were really pleased with the education our child received at Cardinal Griffin, and the school's facilities are excellent. However, we did experience some logistical issues with communication and organization at times. Overall, it was a great experience, but not without its challenges. *(Mar 2021)*
- **2/5** — A few good teachers, not a great school: Don’t get me wrong there were some amazing teachers there that really cared about my progress and me overall and would go above and beyond. However, I had medical issues that required me to have help with the likes of a laptop for both lessons and exams and extra times or equivalent during exams. Across my 3 years there, it was never mentioned that I could have access to this until a maths teacher, who was also was a deputy I think, said I could have access to this and he’ll help me get it, neve… *(Jan 2021)*
