## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Love for God, Love for Learning!: We are absolutely overjoyed with the care and education our child receives at Manor Park. The values of the school truly shine through and it's wonderful to see the children learning and growing in a happy, safe environment. The Forest School is a particular highlight for our child and we've been impressed with the way the teachers adapt to individual learning styles. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Excellent facilities and staff: Manor Park has exceeded our expectations in every way. The school's commitment to providing a broad and rich curriculum is impressive, and the facilities are fantastic. Our child is thriving in a supportive and inclusive environment, and we feel confident that they're receiving a great education. *(Sep 2021)*
- **3/5** — Some positives and negatives: Our child attended Manor Park a few years ago, and while we had some wonderful experiences, there were also some issues with communication and organisation. The school has clearly made efforts to address these issues since we left, and we're impressed with the new facilities. However, we still have some reservations about the school's ability to cater for children with SEN. *(Mar 2021)*
