## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Great Community Feeling: We've been at Cottons Farm for two years now and have been thoroughly impressed with the values and ethos. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are well-maintained. The READ ACHIEVE SUCCEED program has been a great addition and really supports the children's learning. We feel lucky to be a part of such a wonderful community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Education: We were at Cottons Farm from 2018 to 2020 and couldn't be happier with the education our child received. The Principal, Mrs Patmore, is truly dedicated to providing the best possible experience for the children. The school's emphasis on 'if you believe it you can achieve it' really resonated with our child and helped them grow in confidence. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We've been at Cottons Farm for a year now and have mixed feelings. The staff are mostly friendly, but there have been a few instances where we've felt a bit lost or not informed. The facilities are lovely, but we've had some issues with the school's online systems. Overall, we're hoping that things will improve as we continue to support the school. *(Mar 2022)*
