## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Best school ever!: We moved to Peterborough and were worried about finding a good school. John Clare has exceeded our expectations in every way. The teachers are kind and supportive, the facilities are excellent, and the programs are engaging. My child loves going to school and can't wait to learn more. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and values: We've been part of the John Clare community for three years and have been consistently impressed by the school's commitment to academic excellence and social values. The leadership team is dedicated to providing a supportive and challenging environment for all children. My child has thrived here and I'm confident they'll do well when they move on to secondary school. *(Aug 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed experience: We moved away from Peterborough, but our child had a mixed experience at John Clare. The school has many strengths, including its commitment to values and its after-school programs. However, we felt that some of the teachers were inconsistent in their approach and that the school could do more to support children with additional needs. Overall, it was a solid school experience, but not exceptional. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Friendly and caring community: We visited John Clare on an open day and were immediately struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic, and the children were happy and confident. My child has settled well into the school and loves the after-school clubs. *(Feb 2022)*
