## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Great school with some minor concerns: My child started at Western Primary School this year and is enjoying it so far. The facilities are excellent, especially the art room and sports hall. However, I do feel that the school could improve on communication with parents, particularly when it comes to updating us on our child's progress. Overall, a great school with some minor areas for improvement. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding school with dedicated staff: We have been part of the Western Primary School community for several years now and I can honestly say that the school is outstanding. The staff are dedicated, caring, and passionate about education. The iPad scheme has been a game-changer for my child, who is now confident in using technology to enhance their learning. I couldn't recommend Western PS enough to any parent looking for a school that truly puts its students first. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic school with wonderful values: My children attended Western Primary School from Reception to Year 6 and I couldn't be happier with the education they received. The kindness, honesty, and respect values really shone through in the way the teachers and staff interacted with the children. The iPad scheme was brilliant and helped my kids develop essential digital skills. I highly recommend Western PS to any parent looking for a nurturing and progressive school. *(Jun 2022)*
