## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent all round experience for our children: My child has been at The Willows for 4 years now and we have been consistently impressed with the school. The staff are lovely, the facilities are great, and the school's values of kindness and respect really shine through. We love the extra-curricular activities too, especially the sports teams! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great all-round education for our children: Our child has been at The Willows for 6 years and we've been consistently impressed with the quality of education they receive. The school's focus on academic achievement is excellent, and the extracurricular activities have helped our child develop a range of new skills. The only reason we haven't given them 5 stars is that we've found the school's communication with parents to be a bit inconsistent at times. *(Jul 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful school that helped our child thrive: Our child was at The Willows from Reception to Year 6 and it was a fantastic experience for them. The teachers were supportive and enthusiastic, and the school's focus on emotional intelligence helped our child develop into a confident and caring individual. We're so grateful for the time they spent there. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A great school with some wonderful staff: My child is in Year 2 at The Willows and we're really pleased with how they're doing. The teachers are friendly and approachable, and the school's phonics program has been great for helping my child learn to read. However, we've found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times, which is the only reason we haven't given them 5 stars. *(Oct 2021)*
