## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent facilities and staff: Our son loves going to QKS and we're impressed by the facilities, especially the Sixth Form building. The teachers are all very approachable and the student support is great. We're looking forward to seeing our son thrive here. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Proud to Belong: We've been part of the QKS community for 2 years now and it's been a game-changer for our daughter. The Duke of Edinburgh program has been a highlight, and the teachers genuinely care about the students. We feel lucky to have found such a welcoming and supportive school. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed experience: We were part of the QKS community for 3 years and had a mixed experience. The teachers were mostly great, but the pastoral support could be better at times. Our child did well academically, but we felt that the school could do more to support students with additional needs. *(Jul 2021)*
