## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Gordons. The staff are all very friendly, and the facilities are great - the playground is one of the best in the area. However, sometimes the communication can be a bit patchy, and it's taken a while for things to get sorted out. Overall, it's not a bad school, but we're not entirely happy either. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Decision: I was a bit worried about choosing Gordons for our kids, but it was the best decision we made. The staff are so supportive, and the facilities are amazing - the library is my kids' favorite place. The values they teach are really important, and I love how they encourage the kids to take responsibility. We've been here for a few years now, and I couldn't be happier. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School: We're really impressed with Gordons - the teachers are all so friendly and knowledgeable, and the kids are always eager to learn. The Pupil Parliament is a great idea, and I love how they involve the kids in decision-making. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that sometimes the school lunches can be a bit hit-and-miss, but overall it's been a great experience. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful Experience: We moved out of the area, but my kids still talk about how much they loved Gordons. The teachers were amazing, and the facilities were top-notch - the sports facilities are some of the best in the area. I was impressed by the values they teach, and how they encourage the kids to be independent. We'll always be grateful for the time our kids spent there. *(Jun 2021)*
