## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Warm and welcoming community!: We've been at Heycroft for 3 years now and we feel so lucky to have such a wonderful school community. The teachers are always friendly and approachable, and we've seen our child grow and thrive. We love the focus on creative learning and the positive values they teach the children. *(Sep 2022)*

- **3/5** — Mixed feelings about the curriculum: We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Heycroft. The teachers are mostly great, but I'm not entirely convinced about the way they approach certain subjects. My child has had some difficulties with reading, and I'm not sure if the phonics programme is effective for all learners. That being said, the school's values of being 'Ready, Respectful, Responsible and Creative' are really something to be proud of, and we appreciate the emphasis on these qualities. *(Nov 2021)*
- **4/5** — Great foundation for lifelong learning: My daughter attended Heycroft from Reception to Year 2 and we were really impressed with the standard of teaching and the facilities. The school's emphasis on being 'Ready, Respectful, Responsible and Creative' really helped her develop essential life skills. We're grateful for the foundation she received at Heycroft and how it's helped her excel in her next school. *(Jun 2021)*
