## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent School - Happy Child!: We moved to Dorking and were a bit worried about the school but St John's has exceeded our expectations. The facilities are great, the teachers are kind and supportive, and my child is thriving. We especially love the Forest School program and the after-school clubs. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School with Outstanding Values: As a parent, it's wonderful to see our children learn and grow in a safe and caring environment. St John's has taught our children the importance of trust, love, cooperation, courage, resilience, and respect, which we feel is essential for their future success. We're grateful for the outstanding facilities and dedicated staff. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good School but Room for Improvement: We were part of the St John's community for a few years and had a generally positive experience. The nursery provision was excellent, and our child loved the outdoor lessons and after-school clubs. However, we felt that the curriculum could be more engaging, and the school could benefit from more parent-teacher communication. *(Sep 2020)*
