## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Shocking staff attitude.: Amazed by how negative the staff’s attitudes were in a parent and staff meeting. Never had such a bad attitude from teachers - constant looking at their watch and sighing even from the beginning of the meeting. Such a shock when we hadn’t met before. We are discontinuing with the school as very unhappy. *(Oct 2023)*
- **5/5** — I LOVE SALESIAN COLLEGE #salesian4life: I LOVE Salesian College, it was the highlight of my life. Since joining the fantastic, impressive and incredible college in the amazing 2010. I grew in loads of confidence and made friends with other members of the school. I am going to miss this amazing school and I wish I could stay for the sixth form but I unfortunately I can’t due to buying so much BigMac’s at Maccies, the one in Farnborough is so incredible!!! *(Oct 2022)*
- **3/5** — Salesian college from a students view: This school is focused primarily around sports and not much else. It is an unorganised mess and the food is often covered in hair, mold and packeted food is sometimes past it’s safe eat date *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Amazing School - Couldn't be Happier!: We've been at Salesian College for 2 years now and I couldn't be prouder of the young man our son is becoming. The values they instill in the children are fantastic - kindness, compassion, and respect for others. The facilities are top-notch, with plenty of opportunities for the children to participate in sports and extracurricular activities. We feel so lucky to be part of the Salesian community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good Experience, But Some Room for Improvement: We've been at Salesian College for a year now and have had a mostly positive experience. The teachers are knowledgeable and the facilities are excellent. However, we've found the communication from the school to be a bit lacking at times, and there have been some issues with bullying in the playground. Overall, we're happy with the education our son is receiving, but we'd love to see some improvements in these areas. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education - Would Recommend!: Our son attended Salesian College from Year 7 to Year 11 and had a fantastic time. The teachers were always supportive and went the extra mile to ensure the children understood the material. The school's focus on character development and community service is outstanding. We're so grateful for the education and values our son received during his time at Salesian. *(Dec 2021)*
- **2/5** — Not worth it: Not worth paying for this ‘private’ education. Don’t waist your money and just go to a state school. *(Jan 2021)*
