## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A wonderful school with a rich history: I have fond memories of my time at King James's School and I'm so glad my children had the opportunity to attend. The school's commitment to helping children develop into confident and responsible adults is truly admirable. The Drama Talent Showcase and other extra-curricular activities are a great way to nurture their talents. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience so far: My son is in Year 8 and we're so impressed with the school's values and approach to education. The facilities are great and the teachers are supportive and knowledgeable. The Sixth Form prospectus looks amazing and we're excited to explore that option in the future. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the school: My daughter is in Year 10 and while we've had some issues with communication from the school, we're generally happy with the education and support she's received. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, but I wish there were more opportunities for parental involvement and feedback. *(Jan 2022)*
