## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Amazing teachers and great facilities!: I'm thoroughly impressed with Ely College. My child's teachers are always approachable and encouraging, and the facilities are top-notch. The House system really helps them develop a sense of belonging and responsibility. We're so glad we made the switch from the local primaries! *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic extracurricular activities!: We were a bit worried about the transition to secondary school, but Ely College has been a revelation. The range of clubs and societies is incredible – my child's found their passion for pottery and is now making amazing pieces. The staff are always keen to support and encourage, and we're so grateful to be part of the college community! *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the House system: Overall, we're happy with Ely College, but I'm not entirely convinced about the House system. It's great to see the kids getting involved and supporting each other, but sometimes it feels a bit too much like a competition. Still, the teachers are lovely and the facilities are definitely a bonus. We'll keep an eye on it and see how it develops! *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful values and strong sense of community: As a former parent at Ely College, I was blown away by the emphasis on achievement for all and valuing people. My child thrived in the supportive environment, and I credit the college with instilling a love of learning that has stayed with them to this day. Only downside is that they've moved on to sixth form now, so we don't get to experience it all anymore! *(Sep 2022)*
