## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional Support and Facilities: I'm so grateful for the exceptional support and facilities provided by Pendle Community High School & College. The Family Liaison Officer has been incredibly helpful in keeping me informed about my child's progress and involving me in their learning. We've also loved the parent coffee mornings and courses - our child has really benefited from the practical sessions with their teachers. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good, but room for improvement: My child has only just started at Pendle Community High School & College, so I'm still getting to know the school. While I've been impressed by the facilities and some of the programs on offer, I feel that communication with parents could be better. It's been a bit hit and miss in terms of getting timely updates on my child's progress, and I've had to chase up a few things myself. I hope that the school will work on improving this aspect in the future. *(Apr 2022)*
- **5/5** — Valued Partnership and Opportunities: As a former parent, I was really impressed by the valued partnership between the school and parents like me. The school offered many opportunities for parental engagement, including parent coffee mornings and courses, which helped me feel more connected to my child's learning. The staff were always approachable and supportive, and I appreciated the regular updates on my child's progress. *(Jun 2021)*
