## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A great all-around experience: We've been at St George's for a couple of years now and have been consistently impressed with the school's approach to learning. The staff are friendly and supportive, the facilities are well-maintained, and the extra-curricular activities are a great way for the kids to learn new skills. Our only reason for not giving it a 5-star review is that the school lunches could be a bit more varied. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with a heart of gold: We moved to Portsmouth from London and were a bit worried about our son adjusting to a new school. But St George's has been a revelation - he loves his teachers, the facilities are top-notch, and the values of courage, hope, and respect really shine through. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school, but some room for improvement: Our daughter attended St George's for a few years before moving on to secondary school. While we were generally happy with the education she received, there were a few things that could have been improved - the school could have been more proactive in keeping us informed about what was happening, and the playground facilities could have been a bit more exciting for older kids. That being said, we did appreciate the emphasis on values and the friendly staff. *(Jun 2020)*
