## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Small school with a big heart: My son has been at Willoughby Primary for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with the school. The small class sizes mean he gets plenty of one on one attention and the teachers are all so caring and supportive. He loves going to school and that's all down to the fantastic staff and facilities here. We've also really enjoyed the extra-curricular activities like the Go Ape trip, they're a great way to learn new skills and make new friends. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A true community school: As a parent, it's wonderful to see the school's values of respect, kindness and teamwork in action every day. The children are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for their actions and it's been amazing to see my child grow in confidence and self-esteem. The after-school clubs like the Explorer Academy visit are also a great way to expose them to new experiences and interests. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good but not perfect school: We had a generally positive experience at Willoughby Primary. The teachers were always approachable and the facilities were good. However, we did feel that the school could do more to support children with special needs. My daughter did well here and made some lovely friends, but I do think the school could benefit from a bit more structure and routine. *(May 2021)*
