## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Lovely school and staff: My child has been at Gatcombe Park for 3 years now and it has been a wonderful experience. The school values of Teamwork, Respect and Aim High are really instilled in the children and I love seeing them applied in the classroom and playground. The facilities are also great, especially the new playground equipment! *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings: We've had a mixed experience at Gatcombe Park so far. The staff are lovely and the facilities are great, but my child has struggled with the pace of the lessons at times. The school's values are definitely evident, but I feel like they could do more to support children who are struggling. Still, it's a great school and I'm sure they'll get it right in the end. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and community: My child attended Gatcombe Park for 5 years and we were thoroughly impressed with the education and care they received. The school's values of Teamwork, Respect and Aim High are truly embedded and the children are encouraged to be their best selves. I loved attending school events and seeing the community come together. *(Dec 2022)*
