## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A wonderful school community: We have been so impressed with the welcoming and inclusive community at Benhall St Mary's Primary. Our child has thrived in the caring environment, making great friends and achieving their academic goals. We love the traditional village feel and the thatched roof of the school building! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great foundation for young minds: Our child attended Benhall St Mary's Primary for three years and we were consistently impressed with the quality of teaching and the range of extracurricular activities on offer. The school's values of kindness and respect are clearly embedded in the daily life of the school and helped shape our child's character. *(Jul 2022)*
- **4/5** — A lovely school, but some improvements needed: We have been pleased with the small class sizes and the attention to detail shown by the teachers at Benhall St Mary's Primary. However, we have encountered some issues with communication from the school and would like to see more opportunities for parent involvement in school events. *(Mar 2022)*
