## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Love the Focus on Outdoor Learning!: I'm so impressed with William Penn's approach to outdoor learning and the forest school program. My little one loves exploring and learning outside, and the staff are always coming up with new and exciting activities. The school community feels welcoming and inclusive, too. I feel really lucky to have found this school! *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School with Amazing Staff!: I'm so grateful to have William Penn as my son's school. The staff are friendly, caring, and always willing to help. My son loves the forest school and the after-school clubs, and I love the emphasis on Quaker values. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great Community but Room for Improvement: My kids attended William Penn from Reception to Year 6, and we had a great experience overall. The school's Quaker values really resonated with us, and the staff were always supportive. However, I felt that the curriculum could be more varied, and the communication with parents could be better. Still, we made some amazing memories here. *(Jun 2021)*
