## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Mixed Bag: While we have been generally happy with Orchard Lea Junior School, there have been a few issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's facilities are great, but sometimes the children's classes can be quite large. Overall, though, we are pleased with the progress our child is making and the values the school is instilling in them. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School for Our Little Ones!: My husband and I are thoroughly delighted with Orchard Lea Infant School. Our daughter has been going there since Reception and the teachers are all so welcoming and caring. The daily mile track and playgrounds are fantastic and the kids love using them. We couldn't be happier with the school's values and the way they nurture the children. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with a Great Community: We were so sad to leave Orchard Lea Infant School when our children moved on to the junior school, but we were confident that they were in good hands. The school's commitment to providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment really shines through. We have many happy memories of our time at the school. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience: We have been really impressed with the school's approach to teaching and learning. The Learning Powers characters are a great idea and the children seem to really enjoy using them. My son has also loved the school trips and visits, especially the one to Beaulieu Transport museum. *(Mar 2022)*
