## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Best school ever!: We've been at Goldthorpe Primary for 2 years now and I can honestly say it's the best school our son has ever attended. The staff are friendly and caring, and the facilities are fantastic. We particularly love the emphasis on language, raising aspirations and nurture - it really shows in the children's confidence and behavior. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Happy memories: My daughter attended Goldthorpe Primary for 7 years and I have so many happy memories of her time there. The school was always very welcoming and supportive, and the teachers were always available to talk to. I was particularly impressed by the school's commitment to safeguarding and the regular updates we received about her progress. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Decent school, but room for improvement: We've been at Goldthorpe Primary for a year now and it's been a bit of a mixed experience. The staff are generally friendly and the facilities are good, but we've had some issues with communication and consistency. The emphasis on language and aspirations is great, but we feel that the school could do more to support children with additional needs. *(May 2022)*
