## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed Experience So Far: My child has only just started at Shaftesbury High School, so I'm still getting a feel for the place. The facilities are great, but I've found the communication from the school to be a bit hit and miss. The teachers seem knowledgeable, but I'm not sure about the programmes they offer yet. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education for My Son: I was a parent at Shaftesbury High School for two years and was consistently impressed with the education and support my son received. The school's values of providing a caring and structured learning environment really shone through in his experience. I would highly recommend the school to any parent. *(Jul 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic Support for My Child: I've been really impressed with the support my child has received at Shaftesbury High School.
