## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A good school with some areas for improvement: We've been at Widecombe for a year now and we're generally happy with the school. The teachers are kind and engaging, and our child is making good progress. However, we've noticed that some of the facilities are a bit dated and could do with some upgrading. Also, sometimes the communication from the school could be better. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful school at the heart of the community!: We've been at Widecombe for 3 years now and I can safely say it's the best decision we've ever made. The school's values of collaboration, courage, and creativity really shine through in the way the teachers and staff interact with the children. My child is thriving and I love the sense of community we've found here. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding school with excellent staff and facilities: We have two children who have both attended Widecombe and we couldn't be happier with the education and care they received. The staff are passionate, dedicated, and truly care about the children. The facilities are also excellent and the school's location on the edge of Dartmoor provides endless opportunities for outdoor learning and exploration. *(Jun 2022)*
