## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the school: My daughter has only just started at Derby Cathedral School so I'm still getting a feel for the place. The facilities are lovely and the teachers seem nice, but I'm not entirely sold on the values aspect of the school. Some of the things they're promoting in assemblies and lessons seem a bit too focused on Christianity for my taste. Still, I'm giving it a chance and we'll see how it goes. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school with a loving community: My son has been at Derby Cathedral School for a few years now and I couldn't be happier with the care and education he receives. The teachers are supportive, the facilities are excellent, and the values of the school really shine through in everything they do. I feel so lucky to have found this school. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and values: My daughter left Derby Cathedral School a few years ago but the values she learned there have stayed with her to this day. The education was top-notch and the pastoral care was second to none. I've seen her grow into a kind, confident and compassionate young adult and I think Derby Cathedral School played a huge role in that. *(Mar 2022)*
