## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some good things, some areas for improvement: My child has been at St Lawrence's for 6 years now and while we've had a good experience overall, there are a few areas where the school could improve. The extracurricular activities are a bit limited, and the school could benefit from some more resources and equipment. However, the staff are all very nice and my child has made some great friends - it's a decent school, but not outstanding. *(Aug 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent start to primary school: We couldn't be happier with our experience at St Lawrence's. The teachers are all so enthusiastic and passionate about their subjects, and the facilities are top-notch. My child loves going to school and is thriving in the Reception class - it's been a wonderful start to their primary education. *(May 2022)*
- **5/5** — Warm and welcoming atmosphere: My children have been attending St Lawrence's Catholic Primary School for 2 years now and we absolutely love it. The staff are so friendly and approachable, and the facilities are excellent, especially the playground and sports hall. The school's values of kindness, respect and tolerance really shine through in everything they do. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — A great place for children to grow: I have two children who attended St Lawrence's and they both loved their time there. The school is very inclusive and supportive, and the staff go above and beyond to help children succeed. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the school meals used to be a bit hit and miss - but overall, I highly recommend St Lawrence's. *(Dec 2020)*
