## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Good, But Not Perfect Experience: Our experience at Bassingbourn has been positive overall, but we've had some concerns about communication from the school. The facilities are great, and our child enjoys their lessons. However, we feel that the school could improve in terms of keeping parents informed about their child's progress and involving them in the educational process. *(Jun 2023)*
- **5/5** — Our Daughter Thrives at Bassingbourn!: We've been incredibly impressed with the school's commitment to unlocking each child's potential. The facilities are excellent, and our daughter has loved participating in the netball club and attending the 'Belonging by Design' initiative. The staff are always approachable and supportive, making us feel valued as parents. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Values: As a former parent, I can confidently say that Bassingbourn Village College provided our children with an outstanding education and helped shape them into confident, compassionate individuals. We appreciated the school's emphasis on 'Believe, Achieve, Succeed' and its commitment to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all students. *(Dec 2020)*
