## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Useless school: Teachers some not all are rude do not listen put words in children's mouth interfere nosey don't do anything when a child is bullying another al they say is he has problems so that means he can bully its ok he has problems we all have problems but we don't bully *(Mar 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school, fantastic staff!: We've had our daughter at Oyster Park Primary Academy for 3 years now and have seen her grow into a confident and happy child. The staff are always supportive and go above and beyond to help with any issues that may arise. The facilities are also excellent, our daughter loves Forest School and the music classes! *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good but some areas for improvement: Our son has been at Oyster Park Primary Academy for a year now and generally enjoys going to school. However, we've noticed that the school meal portions could be larger and some of the online resources can be a bit clunky at times. The staff are lovely and the Forest School is a highlight for our son. *(Sep 2021)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful school with a caring community: We were part of the Oyster Park family for 5 years and couldn't be happier with the education and experiences our children received. The caring community, values and ethos of the school really shone through and helped our children develop into kind and compassionate individuals. *(Jun 2020)*
