## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: My experience with BMS has been a bit hit-or-miss. On the one hand, the staff are friendly and the facilities are great. On the other hand, I find the communication between home and school to be a bit lacking at times. I'm hoping that they'll get their communication systems sorted out soon! *(Nov 2023)*
- **5/5** — Brilliant School!: My son has been at Bellingham Middle School for a year now and I couldn't be happier. The teachers are all so supportive and the facilities are top-notch. I love how they emphasize the values of courage, kindness, and respect - it's something we try to instill at home as well. Well done, BMS! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Education: My daughter loved her time at BMS and thrived under the care of the amazing staff. The PE program is fantastic and my daughter's love for sports really took off thanks to the encouragement of the PE lead, Mrs Robinson. I would highly recommend BMS to any parent looking for a school that truly cares about each child's development. *(Mar 2022)*
