## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience!: We've had our two children at St Alban's for a few years now and can't speak highly enough of the school.

- **4/5** — Some Great Aspects, But Room for Improvement: We took our children out of St Alban's after a few years, but we did enjoy some aspects of the school. The facilities are great and the Christian values are strong, but we felt the school could do more to support some of the more challenging students. *(May 2020)*
