## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Great School with Some Minor Quirks: We've been happy with Finchale Primary School overall. The teachers are enthusiastic and the children seem to enjoy their time there. However, I do think the school could improve its communication with parents - we sometimes struggle to get updates on what's happening. That being said, our son has thrived and we're grateful for the support. *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — A School That Cares: My daughter left Finchale Primary School last year and we couldn't be happier with the education she received. The school's focus on kindness, respect, and resilience really showed in her behaviour and work ethic. The staff were always supportive and approachable, and we loved the community feel of the school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School with Wonderful Staff: I'm so impressed with Finchale Primary School. My daughter has been attending for a year now and we've seen huge improvements in her confidence and learning. The staff are always friendly and approachable, and the facilities are great - the outdoor classroom is a particular highlight. *(Jun 2022)*
