## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Our Daughter Loves Ad Astra!: We moved to Ad Astra Infant School in Year 1 and have had a fantastic experience. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the Gold Rights Respecting school values really shine through in everything they do. We love the Christmas shop and arts and crafts club - our daughter has made so many new friends! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — The Best of Both Worlds at Ad Astra!: I'm so impressed with the way Ad Astra combines structure and routine with creativity and fun. The staff are supportive and encouraging, and the after-school clubs are a great way for our daughter to try new things. We feel so lucky to have found this wonderful school! *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Good School with Some Room for Improvement: We had a great experience at Ad Astra, but there were a few niggling issues that prevented us from giving it a full 5 stars. The accessibility of the website was a bit of a challenge, and we had some trouble getting our child's report cards on time. However, the teachers were generally very supportive, and our child loved the singing and colouring club. *(Dec 2021)*
