## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — An incredible school community: We've been so impressed with Sacred Heart's focus on eco-schooling and reducing plastic waste. Our child has loved participating in the eco-club and learning about the impact of everyday choices. The teachers are warm, supportive, and genuinely care about their students. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — A true sense of belonging: My child has thrived at Sacred Heart. The staff are kind, the facilities are excellent, and the emphasis on values such as 'hope, joy, and fulfilment' has been amazing to see in action. We feel so lucky to be a part of this community! *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — A wonderful start to our child's education: We've been really impressed with Sacred Heart's approach to learning and the way they encourage our child to ask questions and explore their curiosity. The ODD SOCKS DAY event was a highlight – what a brilliant way to promote inclusivity and anti-bullying! *(Feb 2021)*
- **4/5** — A lovely school, but some challenges: We moved our child to Sacred Heart two years ago and have been pleased with the progress they've made. However, we've encountered some issues with communication and organisation, which can be frustrating at times. That being said, the teachers are dedicated and the school's values are genuinely at the heart of everything they do. *(Sep 2020)*
