## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wicked Wednesday and Boom Reader were a hit with my child!: We love St Margaret's Primary Academy! The teachers are so supportive, and the Wicked Wednesday after-school club has really helped my child to build confidence. The Boom Reader program in the Reading Cafe is also a great way to encourage a love of reading. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Great school, but some concerns about communication: We've been happy with St Margaret's Primary Academy overall, but sometimes find it hard to get in touch with the teachers and headteacher. The curriculum is engaging, and the facilities are good, but I worry that my child might be falling behind in a few areas. Still, we're committed to giving it a chance. *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — Fantastic memories of nursery and reception: My children had a wonderful time at St Margaret's Primary Academy, starting in the nursery and continuing through reception. The teachers were always approachable and the facilities were excellent. However, we did find the transition to year 1 a bit rocky, but overall, we're very happy with our experience. *(Jul 2022)*
