## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent school with great values!: My daughter has been attending The Ongar Academy for two years now, and we've been really impressed with the way the school has encouraged her to live and breathe the core values of Resilience, Respect, Integrity and Community. The facilities are great too, especially the sports hall and the music department. We've also been happy with the after-school programs they offer, which have helped our daughter develop new skills and interests. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for improvement: My son has been at The Ongar Academy for a year now, and while we've been pleased with some aspects of the school, we feel that there's still room for improvement. The facilities are great, and the teachers are generally supportive, but we've experienced some inconsistencies in the quality of teaching and learning. We're hoping that the school will continue to work on these areas and provide an even better experience for our son. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful community!: I have two children who attended The Ongar Academy, and we have nothing but praise for the school. The sense of community is truly special, and the teachers and staff are always supportive and enthusiastic. My children have developed into confident and compassionate young people, thanks to the excellent education and values they received at TOA. We'll always be grateful for the experience. *(Oct 2021)*
