## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful School: We have been at Orchard Head for a few months now and our child has settled in so well. The staff are always happy to help and the school's commitment to remembrance day and local community involvement is something we really value. We feel our child is getting a great education and making new friends. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience: We've been at Orchard Head for a year now and I couldn't be happier with the care and education our child is receiving. The staff are friendly and approachable, the facilities are great and the school values align with our own family values. We feel lucky to be a part of the Orchard Head community! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great School, Wish I Could Still Be a Part Of It!: I was a parent at Orchard Head for 5 years and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The school's values and commitment to education are second to none. I wish I could still be a part of the community, my child may have moved to a different school but I still keep in touch with teachers and other parents. *(Jun 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed Feelings: We've been at Orchard Head for a while now and while the staff are generally friendly, I've had some issues with communication and organisation. The facilities are nice and the school's commitment to local community involvement is great but I feel there could be some improvements made. Overall, it's an okay school but not without its flaws. *(Feb 2022)*
