## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Place of Hope and Opportunity: We moved our daughter to The Ropemakers' Academy when she was in Year 5, and it was the best decision we ever made. The school's focus on social justice and community is inspiring, and the staff's commitment to helping our children overcome their challenges is remarkable. Our daughter made excellent progress and is now thriving in her new school. *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We have mixed feelings about The Ropemakers' Academy. On the one hand, we appreciate the school's emphasis on emotional support and its efforts to create a sense of community. However, we feel that the curriculum is not always tailored to our child's needs, and the communication between teachers and parents could be improved. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Safe Haven for Our Son: We have been blown away by the love, care, and kindness shown by the staff at The Ropemakers' Academy. The facilities are excellent and the teachers are passionate about helping our children flourish. Our son has made tremendous progress and feels safe and supported every day. *(Feb 2022)*
