## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful experience at Dowson Primary!: I'm so impressed with the school's facilities, the teachers are always available and my child has made great friends. The values of kindness, respect and empathy are clearly embedded in the daily routine and are something we really appreciate. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — A truly supportive community!: We moved to the area 3 years ago and Dowson Primary became our new family. The PE and sport programs were fantastic for my child's confidence and they had a great time in the Nursery. We're grateful for the experience and the friendships made. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the school: My child enjoys learning but I'm concerned about the class sizes and the lack of extracurricular activities. The school's Online Safety policy is reassuring but I wish there were more opportunities for parents to get involved in the curriculum. *(May 2022)*
