## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A School that Truly Cares: We have been at Brooksbank for a year now and I have been constantly impressed by the school's values and the way the staff look after the children. My daughter has settled in so well and has made many friends. I love the way the school encourages the children to be their best selves and to strive for excellence. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: My son has been at Brooksbank for 3 years and I couldn't be happier with the school. The facilities are great, the teachers are supportive, and the values they instill in the children are fantastic. My son has grown so much in confidence and academic ability and I put this down to the school's excellent teaching and the positive atmosphere. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with a Family Feel: We chose Brooksbank for its excellent OFSTED report and the school's commitment to providing a holistic education. The school's staff are warm and welcoming, and the extra-curricular activities on offer are fantastic. My daughter has made many friends and has been well-supported throughout her time at the school. *(Mar 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed Feelings: While my son had a positive experience at Brooksbank, I do feel that the school could improve in some areas. The facilities are great, but I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and to keep them informed about their child's progress. Overall, it was a good school, but I don't think it met our expectations in every way. *(May 2021)*
