## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Outstanding Education: We've been at Orchard Primary for 3 years now and we couldn't be happier. The values of respect, responsibility and aspiration are truly instilled in the children. The staff are supportive and encouraging, and the facilities are excellent. My child has thrived here and loves learning. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Dream Big and Dare to Fail: We've only been at Orchard Primary for a short time but we've already seen a huge improvement in our child's confidence. The Dream Big and Dare to Fail ethos is really inspiring and the staff are passionate about helping the children achieve their potential. The only thing that stops me from giving 5 stars is the lack of extracurricular activities. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Excellent Nursery: We took our child out of Orchard Primary after they transferred to secondary school, but we were so impressed with the nursery that we wanted to leave a review. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the facilities are top-notch. They really helped our child prepare for school and we have no hesitation in recommending them. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings: We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Orchard Primary. The facilities are great and the staff are generally supportive, but there have been some issues with communication and organisation. My child has done well academically, but sometimes feels a bit overlooked. Maybe it's just teething troubles, but I'd love to see some improvements. *(Jun 2021)*
