## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some Good, Some Room for Improvement: I've had mixed experiences with Parrs Wood High School. On the one hand, my child loves the school library and the events they have on offer, such as the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra performance. However, I've found it difficult to get in touch with teachers and the school's online system can be a bit clunky at times. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School Community: I've been so impressed with the community at Parrs Wood High School. The values of Community, Creativity and Achievement really shine through. My child loves being part of the choir and the extra-curricular activities on offer. The school also does a great job of keeping me informed through Edulink One. *(Feb 2023)*
