## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful School with Amazing Staff!: We have been at The Downs for 2 years now and we absolutely love it! The staff are so caring and supportive, and the facilities are top-notch. My daughter loves attending the church services and learning about the values that the school teaches. *(Sep 2022)*

The teachers are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and kind, and the school's focus on values such as respect and compassion is wonderful to see. We feel so lucky to have found this school! *(Oct 2021)*
- **4/5** — A Good but Not Great Experience: We were at The Downs for 5 years and had some great memories, but also some frustrations. The teachers were generally good, but sometimes communication with parents could be better. The facilities are lovely, but I would have liked to see more opportunities for extracurricular activities. *(Feb 2020)*
