- **5/5** — A loving school for our little one: We've been so impressed with Western Downland since our child started Year 3. The values of love, righteousness, and fellowship are truly evident in the way the teachers and staff treat the children. The forest school and early reading programs have been a game-changer for our child's confidence. We feel so grateful to have found this wonderful school. *(Sep 2022)*

The school's commitment to accessibility and inclusivity is truly inspiring, and we've been impressed by the staff's willingness to work with us to support our child's needs.

- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about our experience: We had a good experience at Western Downland, but we did encounter some challenges with our child's transition to Year 6. The After School Club and Breakfast Club were great, but we felt that the school could have done more to support our child's social anxiety. Overall, we're grateful for the education our child received, but we do wish some aspects had been handled differently. *(Jul 2020)*
