## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed Experience So Far: My daughter is in year 7 and is still finding her feet at Cockermouth School. The teachers seem very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but the school's administration can be a bit confusing at times. We are hoping that things will improve as she gets more settled. So far, it's been a mixed experience. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with Great Values: My daughter is in year 9 and has been at Cockermouth School for 3 years now. She has always felt supported and encouraged by the teachers and staff. The school's values of aspire, enjoy, include, respect and community are truly embedded in every aspect of school life. We are proud to be a part of the school community! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great Facilities and Teachers: My son left Cockermouth School 2 years ago but I still have great memories of his time there. The school has excellent facilities, including the sports centre and music rooms. The teachers were all very supportive and helped my son achieve his potential. We would definitely recommend the school to any families in the area. *(Mar 2022)*
