## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent start to secondary school: We've been incredibly impressed with the school so far. The transition from primary to secondary has been seamless, and our son has settled in quickly. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the teachers are approachable and helpful. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic school experience: My son has had a fantastic experience at STRS, the teachers are supportive and knowledgeable, and the facilities are excellent. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on character development and community service, it's clear that the school values its pupils beyond their academic abilities. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed experience: We've had a mixed experience at STRS. The school has excellent facilities and a strong sense of community, but we've found the workload to be quite demanding at times. Our son is working hard to keep up, but we're not sure if the school is the right fit for him. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Nurturing environment: My son attended STRS a few years ago and I was consistently impressed with the nurturing environment. The staff went above and beyond to support his learning and well-being, and the values of the school are genuinely embedded in the culture. We were sad to leave the school when he moved on to sixth form. *(Jul 2021)*
