- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: My children have been at Thorngrove for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier. The staff are caring, the facilities are amazing and the values of the school really shine through in everything they do. My kids love attending the forest school and the sports activities are a highlight of the week. *(Sep 2023)*

The teachers are supportive, the facilities are excellent and the values of the school really resonate with me. I love how the school encourages independence and confidence in the children. *(Jan 2023)*
- **3/5** — Some Positives and Some Negatives: We've had a mixed experience at Thorngrove. On the one hand, the school has a lovely atmosphere and the teachers are generally good. However, we've found the communication to be a bit patchy at times and the homework can be excessive. Overall, it's an okay school, but not outstanding in our opinion. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Community: We have just moved out of the area and were sad to leave Thorngrove behind. The school has a fantastic community and the education that our children received was first class. The forest school and the arts programs were particular highlights for us. *(Mar 2022)*
