## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — An Exceptional Start to School: My son is thriving in the nursery class, and we're so impressed with the care and attention he receives. The teachers are kind, patient, and really take the time to get to know each child. The playground and outdoor spaces are also a bonus – my little one loves the climbing frames and swings! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Brilliant School, Excellent Team: I've been impressed with the dedication of the teachers and the efforts of the school to bring out the best in our children. The new STEM facilities are amazing, and my daughter loves attending the after-school clubs. We feel very lucky to be a part of the Farne Primary community. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Improving, but Still Some Issues: While we've seen some improvements in recent months, we're still not entirely happy with the communication from the school. It's been a bit hit-and-miss, and sometimes we don't feel fully informed about what's going on. That being said, the teachers are generally great, and our child is happy and learning well. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School with a Great Ethos: My kids attended Farne Primary and had a fantastic experience. The school's values of ' Wake Up! Walk In! Work Hard!' really resonated with them, and they loved the Rockstars music program. The teachers were always supportive and encouraging. We're so grateful for the opportunities our children had here. *(Dec 2021)*
