## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some ups and downs, but overall a good experience: We've been at Forest and Sandridge for a couple of years now and have had a mixed experience. Some of the staff are lovely and really care about the children, but others seem a bit overwhelmed. The facilities are great, but I wish there were more opportunities for parental involvement. Still, I think our child is happy and learning here. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with excellent facilities and staff!: We've been at Forest and Sandridge for 5 years now and I've seen our child grow into a confident and kind person. The school's facilities are amazing, from the sports hall to the library and playground. The staff are always friendly and approachable, and I really appreciate the emphasis on values and Christian teaching. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great experience for our child: We were at Forest and Sandridge from Reception to Year 6 and had a fantastic experience. The teachers were knowledgeable and caring, and the school's focus on online safety and digital literacy was impressive. I'm grateful for the strong foundation our child received here. *(Dec 2020)*
