## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Good School, Some Room for Improvement: My child has settled well into Our Lady & St Gerard's and loves going to school. The teachers are enthusiastic and the curriculum is engaging. However, I feel that the school could benefit from some additional resources, such as more books and educational software, to support the children's learning. Overall, a good school with some room for improvement. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School with Kind Staff: My child has been at Our Lady & St Gerard's for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with the care and education they receive. The staff are kind, supportive and genuinely care about each child's well-being. The facilities are also excellent and the school's values of kindness, compassion and respect are clearly evident in everything they do. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Catholic Values and Education: My older child attended Our Lady & St Gerard's many years ago and had a wonderful experience. The school's Catholic values and ethos were a big part of their education and I was impressed by the way the staff encouraged them to develop their faith. The education was also excellent and my child did very well in their GCSEs. I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a Catholic education. *(Aug 2021)*
