## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Our wonderful experience at The Good Shepherd!: We love The Good Shepherd school! From the moment our child started, they have made us feel so welcome and supported. The values of mercy, respect, and joy are truly lived out by the staff and children. We're so grateful to be a part of this community. Our child has thrived in their Reception year and we can't wait to see them grow and learn more! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A great school with amazing facilities: We've been really happy with The Good Shepherd school. The facilities are fantastic, the teachers are dedicated, and the children are so well-behaved. Our child has enjoyed learning and has made some great friends. We're a bit disappointed with the extra-curricular activities available, but overall, we're pleased with the school. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school, but could improve communication: We sent our child to The Good Shepherd school for a few years and had a mostly positive experience. The staff were kind and caring, and our child learned a lot. However, we sometimes found communication with the school to be a bit patchy, especially when it came to issues with our child's learning. Still, we appreciate the values and faith-based approach of the school, and we're grateful for the time our child spent there. *(Oct 2019)*
