## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — WOW! Amazing School!: My daughter loves St Paul's Walden Primary School! The teachers are so supportive and kind. We love the extensive grounds and all the fantastic facilities like the mud kitchen and willow tunnel. The school values are so in line with our own family values, it's wonderful to see. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School!: Our experience at St Paul's Walden has been excellent. The staff are caring, the facilities are great and the curriculum is engaging. My child loves learning and I feel so confident leaving them in the care of the teachers. The only thing that let us down was the occasional lack of communication from the school, but overall we're so happy. *(Jul 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed Feelings: My child attended St Paul's Walden a few years ago and while they had a generally positive experience, I feel like the school could do more to support children with additional needs. The facilities are great, but sometimes the school can feel a bit disjointed. That being said, we made some wonderful friends and the teachers did their best to help my child learn. *(Oct 2021)*
