## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A truly happy and holy place: We chose St Benet's for its strong Catholic ethos, and we've not been disappointed. The school feels like a real community, and the staff are always available to support us. Our child loves coming to school each day, and we feel that they're being well cared for. *(Nov 2023)*
- **5/5** — St Benet's exceeded our expectations: We've been incredibly happy with St Benet's since our child joined. The wrap-around care has been a lifesaver for us, and the staff are always friendly and approachable. We feel that the school's Catholic values are truly embedded in everything they do. *(Jul 2023)*
- **5/5** — A solid all-round school: We've been impressed with the variety of activities on offer at St Benet's, from sports to music and drama. The school meals are also a highlight - our child loves trying new foods! However, we sometimes feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and involve them in decision-making. *(May 2023)*
- **4/5** — A solid school with some great initiatives: We moved away from the area before our child finished at St Benet's, but we were pleased with the progress they made. The school's PE program is excellent, and the Toddler Group is a great resource for young families. However, we sometimes felt that communication with the school could be better. *(Feb 2023)*
