## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic teachers and facilities!: We've been at Charles Dickens Primary for 3 years now and I'm so impressed with the school. The teachers are knowledgeable, caring, and really take the time to understand each child. The facilities are excellent and the arts provision is top-notch - my child loves music and art lessons! We're so grateful to be a part of this community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — Some great aspects, some room for improvement: We've had a mixed experience at Charles Dickens Primary. The teachers are generally very supportive and the arts provision is excellent. However, I've found the school's communication to be a bit patchy at times, and I've had to chase up information about my child's progress. Overall, I think the school has a lot of potential, but it needs to work on a few areas. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — A well-rounded education: We moved our children to London and were looking for a school that would offer a well-rounded education. Charles Dickens Primary exceeded our expectations. The curriculum is broad and engaging, and the focus on creativity, social intelligence, and wellbeing really resonated with us. My children loved their time at the school and I'm so grateful for the education they received. *(Jun 2021)*
