## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some great aspects, but room for improvement: I was initially drawn to Horris Hill's commitment to individuality and creativity. While I love the approach to learning in Reception and Year 1, I've found some of the administrative tasks to be a bit clunky. Perhaps with the new facilities and resources being implemented, things will improve. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — A true gem of a school!: My son has thrived at Horris Hill since joining Reception. The teachers are kind, patient, and have a real knack for bringing learning to life. We love the emphasis on family, freedom, and flair - it's all about encouraging individuality and creativity! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A happy home away from home: My daughter was a boarder at Horris Hill for a few years, and I was blown away by the dedication of the staff and the facilities on offer. From the excellent pastoral care to the top-notch sports and extracurricular activities, every aspect of the school is designed to ensure each child feels supported and stimulated. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — A fantastic education and so much more: Horris Hill has been an outstanding choice for our family, offering a well-rounded education, excellent teachers, and a sense of community that's hard to find elsewhere. The extension to Year 11 is a game-changer - it means our children will have a seamless transition to senior school. *(Mar 2022)*
