## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A safe haven for our child: Eslington Primary School has been a game-changer for our family. The school's 4Rs of Resilience, Respect, Relationships, and Responsibility have really rubbed off on our child and the staff's dedication to SEMH difficulties is something to be commended. The facilities are lovely and the sense of community is palpable. We feel so lucky to have found this school! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great school with a unique approach: Eslington Primary School has been a great fit for our child, who has SEMH difficulties. The staff are all very supportive and understanding, and the facilities are really well-adapted to meet the needs of children with additional needs. My only criticism is that the school could do more to keep parents informed about what's going on, but overall we're really happy with the progress our child has made. *(Jun 2021)*
- **4/5** — A good experience, but could be improved: We had a generally positive experience at Eslington Primary School, which we chose for our child due to their expertise in SEMH difficulties. However, we felt that the school could have done more to support our child in certain areas, and that communication with parents was sometimes a bit lacking. Overall, we're grateful for the education our child received and the values they learned, but there's definitely room for improvement. *(Mar 2020)*
