## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school community: My child has thrived at Shepherdswell since their first day. The teachers and staff are kind, supportive and genuinely invested in their well-being. We're so grateful for the Forest School program and the emphasis on Christian values. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and nurturing environment: From what I've seen, the school has a great balance between academic challenge and care for each child's individual needs. My child comes home every day beaming and eager to share their Forest School adventures. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about our time at Shepherdswell: My child attended the school for two years, and while we loved the ethos and the teachers, the admin side didn't always seem to run smoothly. Perhaps we just caught them on a bad day, but that's a shame given the potential of the school. *(Mar 2021)*
