## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Outstanding facilities and staff: We sent our children to Thomas Hinderwell Primary Academy a few years ago and were consistently impressed with the facilities and staff. The school's focus on creativity and innovation really set it apart from other local schools. We've heard that the Inspiration Fund has provided some amazing opportunities for the children, and it's great to see the school's values in action. We're so grateful for the education our children received there! *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, but areas for improvement: We've had a mixed experience at Thomas Hinderwell Primary Academy. On the one hand, our child is happy and engaged, and the staff are mostly friendly and supportive. However, we've noticed that some of the school's promises about communication with parents haven't quite materialized. The My Child at School portal could be more user-friendly, and we've had a few issues with getting in touch with teachers when we need to. Overall, it's an okay school, but we feel that it could be better. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful school community!: We've been at Thomas Hinderwell Primary Academy for a couple of years now and I must say, we feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing community. The 'every lesson matters' mantra really resonates with me and my child is thriving in a supportive and inclusive environment. The teachers are always approachable and the school's commitment to inspiring our children is truly evident. We can't recommend it enough! *(Jun 2022)*
