## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Love the new facilities!: I'm so impressed with the recent upgrades to the playground and classrooms. My child is always excited to go to school and I feel confident that they're getting a great education. The Learners' Trust values really do shine through in everything they do. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great teachers and support: The teachers at New Whittington are all so caring and supportive. My child has really thrived this year and I've been impressed with the coaching and mentoring on offer through the Learners' Trust. One thing I'd like to see is more opportunities for parental involvement, but overall we're really happy with the school. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the Trust: We loved our time at New Whittington, but I do miss the sense of community we had when the school was standalone. The Learners' Trust has brought some great benefits, like the iPad initiative, but I worry that we're losing some of our unique identity. Still, the teachers and support staff are all fantastic and I'm glad we made the decision to join the Trust. *(Aug 2021)*
