## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5**: diabolical school for children, especially those with special needs. sensory toys being taken away from them, children locked inside classrooms without play for losing "tricky words" (these are young children!)

- **5/5** — Amazing School with Kind Staff: My child loves going to Kirby Primary Academy. The teachers are so kind and supportive, and the facilities are top-notch. I love the values they instill in the children, especially 'Be Kind' - it's wonderful to see them practicing empathy and compassion. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings about Kirby: Kirby Primary Academy has some wonderful aspects, but I'm not entirely convinced it's the right fit for us. The Year 2 teacher is fantastic, but I've had some issues with communication with the office. The facilities are lovely, but the after-school programs are pricey. We're still deciding whether to stay or leave. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding Education and Community: We were so sad to leave Kirby Primary Academy, but the school helped our child grow into a confident and curious learner. The forest school program was a highlight, and the community events were always so much fun. We're grateful for our time at Kirby. *(Jun 2021)*
