## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5**: Main difficulty: A new rule has been introduced prohibiting students from using or carrying their phones outside the school building while on school premises. However, phones may be used once students have left the site. I believe this rule is challenging, as parents may need to contact their children immediately.

- **5/5** — Excellent school with great values: We're so impressed with the progress our daughter has made since starting at Carlton Keighley. The school's focus on character and culture really resonates with us, and we love the Carlton Edge program - it's amazing to see the kids trying out new things. The staff are friendly and supportive, and the facilities are great. We feel really lucky to have found such a wonderful school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great choice for our family: We were a bit hesitant about moving to a new area, but Carlton Keighley has been a great discovery. The school's emphasis on literacy is excellent, and the teaching staff are top-notch. We've also been impressed with the school's commitment to SMSC development - it's lovely to see the kids learning about different cultures and ways of life. We feel confident that our son is in good hands here. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school, but some room for improvement: We had a mixed experience at Carlton Keighley - some aspects were great, while others fell short. The teachers were generally supportive, but we felt that the communication with parents could have been better. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, but we didn't always find the after-school clubs to be well-organized. Overall, we're glad our child had the opportunity to attend, but we might have chosen a different school if we'd known more about it at the time. *(Nov 2020)*
