## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Wonderful Community: We've been so impressed with St Alban's since our child started in Reception. The teachers are kind and dedicated, and the facilities are excellent. We love the Values-based approach and the way the school encourages our child to be the best version of themselves. Highly recommend! *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Supportive and Challenging: My child has thrived at St Alban's. The teachers are always available to chat and offer support, and the curriculum is well-structured and engaging. We love the emphasis on Catholic values and the opportunity for children to participate in various activities and clubs. The only thing that prevents a 5-star review is the occasional wait for IT support! *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience: We had a good experience at St Alban's, but it was variable. Some teachers were absolutely fantastic, while others seemed less engaged. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, but the school could do more to provide support for children with special needs. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not one that we'd necessarily recommend to others. *(Mar 2020)*
