## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Amazing school, amazing community!: We're so glad we made the decision to send our child to The Wren. The school's focus on community cohesion is really evident, and the teachers are all so supportive and dedicated. The facilities are great too - our child loves the sports hall and the gardening club! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school, excellent results!: Our child has thrived at The Wren, and the recent GCSE results are a testament to the hard work and dedication of the teachers and students. The school's values of nurture, challenge and inspire really shine through in everything they do. *(Aug 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school, but some areas for improvement: We had a positive experience at The Wren, but there were a few things that didn't quite live up to our expectations. The school's focus on quality first teaching was really evident, but we felt that there could be more opportunities for parental involvement. Still, our child had a great time and got some great results! *(Jun 2022)*
