## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Lovely school with a personal touch: We moved to the area last year and my daughter started at Therfield. The small class sizes and emphasis on individualised learning have been a game changer. Her teacher, Miss Haxton, is fantastic and we love the regular updates on her progress. We also appreciate the commitment to mindfulness and forest school - she comes home full of stories every week! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Nice try, but some teething issues: My son is still settling in at Therfield, but we're enjoying the welcoming atmosphere and enthusiasm of the staff. However, communication could be improved - it's been a bit hit-and-miss with updates from the teachers. We also felt that the PE lessons were a bit disorganised at times. Let's give them a chance, though - we know they're trying their best! *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional education and community: My son graduated from Therfield a few years ago and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I ever made as a parent. The school's values of kindness, respect and curiosity truly shine through in every aspect of their teaching and approach. We loved the regular newsletters, the open-door policy with teachers and the many opportunities for parent involvement. *(Jun 2021)*
