## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Downshall's focus on pupil well-being shines through: I've been really impressed with Downshall's commitment to pupil well-being, as evident in the Pupil Parliament and the emphasis on mental health. While there are some areas where the school could improve, we're generally very happy with our child's experience. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Downshall is a wonderful school for our child: We've been so impressed with the Downshall Primary School community. The Intergenerational Provision is fantastic and has really helped our child develop empathy and communication skills. The welcoming and inclusive atmosphere is evident throughout the school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about Downshall's approach: We left Downshall after Year 2, and while we appreciated the school's focus on diversity and inclusion, we sometimes felt that the curriculum was too focused on rote learning. The facilities are excellent, and the teachers are generally supportive, but we felt that our child wasn't being challenged enough. *(Jun 2020)*
