## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Had a bad time, but a great school anyway: didn't have the best experience at this school, had lots of extremely bad friends, and heard a few bad things from some teachers which stuck from me. BUT, if it weren't for my personal experience, this school is amazing. Majority of the teachers are lovely, and I learnt lots of stuff. Would definitely recommend. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience: My child has been attending Upton Primary School for a year now and I'm so impressed with the facilities, teachers, and values they promote. The breakfast and after-school clubs are great and have really helped my child settle in. I particularly love the UPTON CARES values, it's wonderful to see them put into practice every day. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Support for My Child: My child has been attending Upton Primary for two years and I've been blown away by the support they've received. The phonics and early reading program is excellent and my child has made great progress. The staff are always available to talk and offer help, it's a really caring community. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic First Year: My child started Upton Primary in Year 1 and it's been an amazing experience. The teachers are lovely, the facilities are great and the UPTON CARES values are really being put into practice. I love the SeeSaw phonics program, it's really helped my child settle in and make friends. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good School, Room for Improvement: My child went to Upton Primary a few years ago and I had a mixed experience. The teachers were generally good, but the communication between school and parents could be better. I loved the times tables rockstars program, it really helped my child's maths skills. Overall, it's a good school, but there's room for improvement. *(Feb 2022)*
