## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful School with Amazing Staff: My children love attending Long Buckby Junior School. The staff are friendly, approachable and really care about the well-being of their students. The Secret Reading Garden is a lovely initiative that has brought the school community together and encouraged a love of reading in my children. We feel so lucky to have this school in our village. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Generally Positive but Some Concerns: My child is enjoying their time at Long Buckby Junior School, but I do have some concerns about the class sizes and the amount of homework set. The staff are generally very supportive, but I have experienced some difficulties in getting in touch with my child's teachers when I need to. The Secret Reading Garden is a lovely initiative, but I wish I had been informed about it sooner so I could have attended the grand opening. *(Feb 2021)*
- **4/5** — Excellent Education and Facilities: My children attended Long Buckby Junior School from Reception to Year 6 and had a great experience. The school's focus on individualised learning and its commitment to community-based initiatives, such as the Secret Reading Garden, really stood out to me. The facilities are also excellent, with a great library and sports equipment. *(Jun 2020)*
