## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A great experience from start to finish: My child attended this school for 7 years and had an excellent experience. From the Nursery to Year 6, the teachers and staff were always supportive and enthusiastic. The school's focus on community and extra-curricular activities was a huge bonus for us as a family. We were sad to leave, but we're so grateful for the memories and the education our child received. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the school: We've been at Richard de Clare for a year now, and while we like the school's approach to learning, we've had some issues with communication from the teachers. The facilities are great, especially the sports hall, but we've noticed that some of the older classrooms could do with a refresh. Overall, it's an okay school, but we're not entirely satisfied with our experience so far. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful school community!: We've been part of the Richard de Clare Community Academy family for over 3 years now, and we couldn't be happier. The school's commitment to our children's emotional well-being, as well as their academic growth, is truly impressive. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. We love how the school's values of kindness, safety, and respect are woven into everyday life. *(Sep 2022)*
