## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the school: While my child seems to be enjoying their time at East Dene Primary School, I have some reservations about the school's approach to discipline. I've noticed that some children can get a bit too focused on earning house points, which can sometimes lead to a lack of empathy and understanding towards their peers. However, the school's commitment to diversity and inclusion is something I really appreciate. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A caring and supportive environment: I am thoroughly impressed with East Dene Primary School. My child has settled in well and is thriving academically and socially. The school's focus on love, respect, and kindness has created a warm and welcoming environment that I feel privileged for my child to be a part of. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education with a difference: I have fond memories of my time at East Dene Primary School. The school's unique approach to education, which combines academic rigor with creative exploration, really helped my child develop into a confident and curious individual. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of the East Dene community. *(Jun 2021)*
