## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school with a heart of gold!: My daughter has been at Catfield CE Primary Academy for two years now, and I couldn't be happier with the care and education she receives. The teachers are dedicated, kind, and genuinely care about each child's well-being. The forest school sessions are a highlight of the week for her, and she loves exploring the beautiful outdoor spaces. I feel so lucky to have found a school that shares our values and provides such a nurturing environment. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding education and community: We moved to the area three years ago, and our son started at Catfield CE Primary Academy in Reception. We were blown away by the school's commitment to its values and the way the staff work together to create a warm and inclusive community. The education is excellent, and our son thrived in the supportive environment. We're so grateful for the time he spent at Catfield and would highly recommend the school to any parent. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good, but some areas for improvement: We've been at Catfield CE Primary Academy for a year now, and while we've had some positives, there are a few areas where we feel the school could improve. The teaching is generally good, and our daughter loves her teacher. However, we've found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times, and we've had some issues with homework and resources. We're still hopeful that the school will address these issues, but for now, we're giving it an average rating. *(Mar 2022)*
