## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Good school, but some minor issues: We've been happy with Ranskill Primary School overall, but there have been a few occasions where we've felt communication could be better. Our son is in Year 6 now, and he's made some great friends and achieved well. The enrichment activities are a great bonus, but perhaps not as many as some other schools we've seen. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school with amazing teachers!: We've been so impressed with Ranskill Primary School since our daughter started in Reception. The facilities are excellent, and the teachers are all very supportive and enthusiastic. The 'Take Care' values are being encouraged every day, and we can see the positive impact it's having on the children. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with a caring atmosphere: My children are now in secondary school, but we still speak fondly of our time at Ranskill Primary. The school has a lovely, warm atmosphere that made us feel welcome from the very start. The staff are all very kind and supportive, and the 'Take Care' values are genuinely being put into practice. *(Jun 2022)*
