## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Outstanding school with excellent staff: We have been part of the Royal Cross community for several years now and I can honestly say it's the best decision we made. The staff are caring, supportive and go above and beyond for our children. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, and the values and ethos of the school really shine through in the way the children are taught and encouraged. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Room for improvement in communication: We've been part of the Royal Cross community for a few years now, and while we appreciate the school's commitment to deaf education, we've sometimes struggled with communication. There have been a few instances where we haven't received information about upcoming events or changes to the school day on time. However, the teachers are generally very supportive and the facilities are great. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful school for deaf children: I have two children who attended Royal Cross and I can confidently say it was an excellent school for them. The staff were very supportive and made sure they were included in all activities and events. The school's focus on British Sign Language and deaf culture really helped them develop their confidence and self-esteem. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great experience for our child: Our child has been at Royal Cross for a year now and we're really pleased with the progress they've made. The teachers are patient and understanding, and the school's approach to teaching and learning is really engaging. We've also been impressed with the range of extracurricular activities on offer. *(May 2022)*
