## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Room for Improvement: We have been at the school for 2 years now and have seen some positives, such as the friendly staff and good facilities. However, we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and communicate effectively about our child's progress. We are hoping to see some improvements in this area. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience: We have been part of this community for 3 years now and have seen our child grow and thrive. The 'Keep me safe, make me happy, help me learn' values are truly embedded in the school's ethos and we can see the positive impact on our child's confidence and attitude to learning. The staff are friendly and approachable and we feel like part of a close-knit family. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Care: We were part of the Darley and Summerbridge Primary School Federation for 5 years and were thoroughly impressed with the education and care our children received. The school's commitment to providing a creative and stimulating curriculum is evident in the way our children were encouraged to explore and learn. We will always be grateful for the experience. *(Sep 2021)*
