## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic School Experience: We've been at Riverbank for 4 years and couldn't be happier. The staff are caring and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. Our son has really flourished here, especially with the emphasis on creativity and community focus. We feel proud to be part of such a special school! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Values-Based Education: We moved our daughter to Brearley Hall a year ago and have seen a huge improvement in her confidence and academic skills. The values that the school promotes, such as respect and kindness, are really evident in the way the children treat each other. We're so grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this community. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: Riverbank Primary has been an absolute game-changer for our family. The staff are like a second family to us, and the school's community focus has helped our son make friends and feel supported. The curriculum is engaging and fun, and we love the emphasis on creativity and self-expression. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Mixed Feelings: We've been at Riverbank for a year now, and while we've had some great experiences, we're not entirely convinced that the school is the right fit for our child. The facilities are great, and the staff are friendly, but we've had some issues with communication and organisation. We're still hopeful that things will improve. *(Sep 2021)*
