## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic School with Wonderful Values: We've been at Orchard Primary for two years now, and I'm so impressed with the values they're teaching the children. The 'Building a better me' ethos really resonates with me, and it's lovely to see the kids embracing it. The facilities are excellent too - our daughter loves the breakfast club and the after-school activities. We couldn't recommend Orchard highly enough! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings About Orchard: We've been at Orchard Primary for a year, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag for us. The teachers are lovely, and the facilities are great, but we're not entirely happy with the way they're approaching phonics. Our child is struggling a bit, and we feel like they're not getting the support they need. That being said, the school lunches are amazing, and the kids love the after-school activities. *(Mar 2021)*
- **4/5** — Great School with Lovely Staff: We were at Orchard Primary for five years, and it was a fantastic experience for our son. The staff were always friendly and supportive, and they really helped our child to thrive. I love that they have a strong focus on mental health and wellbeing, and I appreciate the regular communication from the teachers. We're so grateful for our time at Orchard! *(Jun 2020)*
