## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Has strengths and weaknesses: “Hi everyone, we have been allocated a C of E primary that seems very focused on religion and on bringing it into every subject. … I didn’t really realise until now how religious it was, or I might have appealed.” *(Jul 2025)*
- **4/5** — “Our son goes to a C of E school and my husband and I are atheists: “Our son goes to a C of E school and my husband and I are atheists. … it is fantastic. A top performing primary, and in terms of religion, yes they do have a little prayer before they eat, and in assemblies, but from what I can gather from our son, very little else apart from required curriculum.” *(Aug 2024)*
- **3/5** — “Our second closest looks to be a nice school and was rated Good: “Our second closest looks to be a nice school and was rated Good. However, it's a CofE school and I really don't love the idea of religion being part of the school experience. I had hoped it would be minimal with some hymns in assembly and nativity at Christmas … but looking at their site it seems a bit more involved than that.” *(Oct 2023)*
- **4/5** — “Not religious at all here, my kiddo is in a COE school, and it's great: “Not religious at all at this school, my kiddo is in a COE school, and it's great. After school and other extras like trips etc seem more common than in other schools, teachers are all great. School fete's, one‑off lessons, visitors and cross‑year activities are more common too.” *(Feb 2023)*
