## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school community!: We absolutely love St Godrics! The caring and supportive environment has made our child's first three years in school truly special. The 'Friends of the School' group's efforts to create the beautiful Story Garden have been a highlight for us. *(Jun 2023)*
- **4/5** — Some great aspects, but a few concerns: We've been really pleased with some aspects of St Godrics, such as the Early Years Foundation Stage and the enthusiasm of the teachers. However, we've experienced some issues with communication and the transition between Reception and Year 1. Hoping these improve. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Great values and community: We were part of the St Godrics community for a few years and were always impressed by the school's focus on prayer, creativity, and friendship. Our child thrived in the inclusive and supportive environment. *(Sep 2022)*
