## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful School Community!: We absolutely love Dinnington Community Primary School. The values of 'Ready, Respectful, Safe' are clearly evident in the way the staff and children interact with each other. Our child has thrived in the school's supportive environment and we feel confident that they are receiving a world-class education. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Real Hidden Gem: Dinnington Community Primary School is a school that truly puts its children first. The Whitewoods Way values are amazing and our child has benefited so much from the child-centred approach. The facilities are great too and our child loves attending the after-school clubs. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this school. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We moved our child to Dinnington Community Primary School a year ago and while we've seen some great progress, we're still not entirely convinced. The staff are lovely and the facilities are good, but we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and provide more opportunities for children to explore their interests. Overall, it's an okay school, but we're not blown away. *(Dec 2021)*
