## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Read the OFSTED report regarding safeguarding: Terribly run school, the current headmaster is awful. Self preservation of senior leadership team takes precedence over everything, to the detriment of staff and pupils. Bullying is also a problem at the school but is brushed under the carpet along with other issues against to preserve the senior leadership (mainly the stubborn incompetent headmaster) *(Oct 2024)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic Facilities and Community!: My child has thrived at Salesian School. The facilities are impressive, and the staff are always supportive. They truly live by their values of 'Enlightening minds, uplifting hearts'. I've seen my child develop into a confident and compassionate individual. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Values: I'm delighted with the education my child is receiving at Salesian. The teachers are knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects. The emphasis on community and faith is also wonderful. We feel grateful to be part of the Salesian family. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience: While my child enjoys some aspects of Salesian School, we've had some issues with communication and consistency. The teachers are generally good, but it can be challenging to get updates on progress. We're hoping things will improve as my child settles in. *(Mar 2022)*
- **1/5** — avoid!: i went to this school for year seven, i’m almost done with school but within my mear time going there students harass me to this day sending awful messages, i would NEVER go to this school and to say that it’s a good school is barbaric! no wonder why it’s getting bad *(Dec 2021)*
