## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — An Excellent Education: Our daughter is in her final year at John Spence and it's been an excellent experience for her. The school has provided her with a great education, plenty of opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities and a supportive environment to help her grow into a confident young adult. We're sad to see her go but we're confident she's ready for the next stage of her life. *(Sep 2025)*
- **4/5** — A Great All-Rounder: My son has been at John Spence for 2 years now and we've been impressed with the progress he's made. The teachers are supportive and the facilities are excellent. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that I think the school could do more to help parents stay informed about what's going on. *(Jan 2025)*
