## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Lakeside Primary Academy: A Home Away from Home: We've been with Lakeside for 3 years now, and I must say it's been an incredible journey. The school's focus on values such as respect, kindness, and responsibility has rubbed off on our child, making them a better person. The facilities are top-notch, and the staff are always approachable and willing to help. We couldn't be happier with our choice. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Experience So Far: We've been at Lakeside for a year now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the progress our child has made. The school's emphasis on creativity and critical thinking is fantastic, and the staff are always pushing the children to reach their full potential. We've had some minor issues with communication, but overall, we're very happy. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We left Lakeside a year ago, and while it was a great school for our child, we found the curriculum a bit too rigid at times. The facilities were excellent, and the staff were always friendly, but we felt that the school could have done more to engage with parents and keep us informed. Still, it's a good school, and we're grateful for the experience. *(Jun 2020)*
