## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful experience at ALTS: We moved to Rushden from London and were nervous about finding a good school. But ALTS has exceeded all our expectations. The teachers are kind and dedicated, the facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the school's values of kindness and respect are evident in everything they do. My child loves going to school and we're so grateful to be a part of the ALTS community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A nurturing and supportive environment: We've been at ALTS for a few years now and have found the school to be a warm and welcoming place. The teachers go above and beyond to support our child's learning and well-being, and the school's focus on kindness and empathy is something we really value. The facilities are also excellent, with plenty of opportunities for our child to get involved in sports and activities. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, some negatives: We were at ALTS for three years and had a mixed experience. The school has some lovely facilities, including a great library and sports hall, and the teachers were generally supportive. However, we sometimes found the communication with parents to be lacking, and the school's approach to Behaviour was sometimes inconsistent. Overall, it was an okay school, but we're now at a different school and are happy to be there. *(Jun 2020)*
