## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A wonderful school!: Shelley First School is truly a special place. The facilities are excellent, and the staff are kind, caring and dedicated to providing the best possible education for their pupils. My children loved attending Shelley and thrived in their time there. I have no hesitation in recommending the school to anyone. *(Jun 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed feelings: I have mixed feelings about Shelley First School. The facilities are good, and the staff seem nice, but I've noticed that the school can be a bit disorganised at times. My child is in Year 1 and is happy enough, but I'm not entirely convinced that the school is meeting my expectations. I'm hopeful that things will improve as the year goes on. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Lovely school, lovely staff: Shelley First School is a beautiful school with a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are always smiling and welcoming, and the children are happy and engaged. My child is in Year 3 and loves going to school, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the teachers and support staff. I'm so grateful to have found this school! *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic facilities and caring teachers: As a parent, I'm constantly impressed by the facilities at Shelley First School. The outdoor space is fantastic, and the sports equipment is always well-maintained. But it's the teachers who really make the school special - they're kind, caring and always willing to go the extra mile to support their pupils. I feel so lucky to have my child at this school. *(Oct 2021)*
