## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional School Experience: I've been thoroughly impressed with Firbeck Academy. The staff are caring, the facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the emphasis on 'Work Hard-Be Kind' is truly inspiring. My child has blossomed in this positive environment, and I feel confident they're receiving a top-notch education. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Preparations for Senior School: As a parent of a child who attended Firbeck Academy before moving to senior school, I was impressed by the thorough preparations they provided. The Forest School program and UNICEF's Rights Respecting School initiative were particularly notable. My child has thrived in their new school, and I believe Firbeck played a significant role in their success. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Teething Issues but Overall Positive Experience: We've had a mostly positive experience at Firbeck Academy, but there have been a few hiccups along the way. The nursery staff and Early Years program have been fantastic, but we've had some concerns about the playground equipment and occasional communication breakdowns with teachers. Despite this, we're committed to seeing our child's education through at Firbeck. *(Apr 2022)*
