## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home from Home: We've been so impressed with St Stephen's from the start. The Forest School program has been a highlight of our year, and the teachers are always engaging and supportive. The facilities are fantastic too! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We've had a bit of a mixed experience at St Stephen's. The school is lovely and the staff are very friendly, but I do feel that they could do more to support children with special needs. The curriculum is engaging and the facilities are great, but there have been some issues with communication. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Community: We feel so lucky to have St Stephen's as our school. The community is incredibly supportive and welcoming, and the teachers are always going above and beyond to help the children thrive. We've seen such a huge improvement in our child's confidence and knowledge since starting here, and we couldn't be more grateful. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Education: My children attended St Stephen's for their entire primary school career, and we were consistently impressed with the quality of education they received. The school's values of safety, security, happiness, independence, and nurturing really do shine through. *(Jun 2021)*
