## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience: We've had a fantastic experience at Elkesley Primary and Nursery School. Our child has thrived in the caring and supportive environment, and we love the values of Welcoming, Happy, Talented, Compassionate, Resilient, and Achievers that the school promotes. The facilities are also excellent, with a great playground and a friendly team of staff. We couldn't recommend it more! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great School with a Caring Atmosphere: We were very happy with our experience at Elkesley Primary and Nursery School when our child was here. The staff were always approachable and caring, and the school's commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion was impressive. We loved the annual Christmas Fayre and the way the school involved the community. The only reason we wouldn't give it 5 stars is that we felt the school could have been more helpful with transition to secondary school. *(Jun 2021)*
- **4/5** — Good School with Some Room for Improvement: We've had a good experience at Elkesley Primary and Nursery School, but there are some areas where we think the school could improve. The facilities are generally good, but we feel that the playground could be better maintained. We also think that the school could do more to engage with parents and involve them in decision-making. On the positive side, our child has benefited from the school's focus on British values and has had some great experiences in music and PE. *(Dec 2020)*
