## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful Experience at SFG!: I've been blown away by the warm and welcoming community at Sir Frederick Gibberd College. My child has thrived here, thanks to the dedicated teachers and engaging facilities. The recent 'Talk About The Future' workshop with Talk The Talk has been particularly impressive. *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, but room for improvement: I've had mixed feelings about SFG so far. On the one hand, my child seems to enjoy the GOOD VIBEZ AFTER SCHOOL CLUB and the Celebration of the Arts events were a highlight. However, I feel that communication with parents could be better and there are sometimes issues with attendance. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent support for mental health: As a former parent at SFG, I was impressed by the initiatives they had in place to support students' mental health. The MHST Book Club was a great idea and my child loved being part of it. The staff were always approachable and willing to listen. *(Jun 2022)*
