## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Lovely School with a Warm Community: We have been a part of the OLSP community for a year now, and I can honestly say it's the best decision we made for our child. The school's values of love, kindness, and respect are truly evident in every aspect of school life. The staff and teachers are all so supportive and caring - it's a pleasure to watch our child grow and thrive here. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Education and Facilities: My child has been at OLSP for three years now, and I'm constantly impressed by the high standards of education and the excellent facilities. The school's focus on Design Technology and STEM subjects has really helped my child develop their skills and interests. The teachers are always available to offer support and guidance, and the school's commitment to safeguarding is reassuring. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Good Foundation, but Room for Improvement: We've been at OLSP for a year now, and while there are some things I really like about the school, I do have some concerns about the consistency of teaching and the level of support for some children. The school's values and mission statement are great, and the staff are generally friendly and approachable. However, I think there's room for improvement in some areas. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Great Place for Children to Grow: We moved from OLSP a couple of years ago, but we still keep in touch with the school and feel proud to have been a part of the community. The school's commitment to fostering a love of learning and a sense of community was really evident during our time there. While there were some teething issues with the new curriculum, I think the school has made some great strides in recent years. *(Jan 2022)*
