## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Mixed feelings about Pencoys: My child has only just started at Pencoys Primary and while we're still getting to know the school and the staff, we're not entirely convinced that it's the right fit for us. The facilities are nice and the values seem great, but we've had a few issues with communication and organisation so far. I'm willing to give it a bit more time to see how things go. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school for our children: We couldn't be happier with the education and care our children are receiving at Pencoys Primary. The teachers are supportive, the facilities are excellent and the values of kindness, respect and responsibility are instilled in our children on a daily basis. We feel very lucky to be part of this lovely community. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school with a great atmosphere: My son has been at Pencoys for 3 years now and we've seen a huge improvement in his confidence and academic abilities. The staff are friendly and approachable, the school premises are clean and well-maintained and the PE and sports facilities are fantastic. We're very pleased with the choice we made. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Pencoys helped my child thrive: Our child attended Pencoys Primary for 2 years before moving to a secondary school and I'm so grateful for the experience they had. The school's focus on mental health and wellbeing really helped my child through a difficult time and their support for our child's interests and passions was fantastic. We'll always be grateful for the time they spent at Pencoys. *(Jun 2020)*
