## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school experience: We've been at Halifax Primary for a few years now and have only had positive experiences. The teachers are supportive, the facilities are great, and the extracurricular activities are engaging. My child particularly enjoys the PSHE open afternoons and the opportunity to learn instruments. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good choice for our family: We moved to Ipswich recently and were looking for a school that would provide a good education for our children. Halifax Primary has exceeded our expectations. The staff are friendly, the curriculum is engaging, and the trips are well-organized. My child enjoys the Ukulele group and looks forward to the monthly 'Musical Extravaganza'. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, some areas for improvement: We moved out of the area before our child finished at Halifax Primary, but our experience was mixed. The teachers were generally supportive, and the school had some great facilities. However, we felt that the school could have been more responsive to our child's needs, and the communication with parents could be improved. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not without its challenges. *(Aug 2021)*
