## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Tapton's Sixth Form is Outstanding!: As a former student, I can attest to Tapton's amazing Sixth Form. The guidance, teaching, and facilities are top-notch. My sister went there too and she's now at a great university, thanks to Tapton's preparation. Don't hesitate to send your child there! *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings About Tapton: We're still getting used to Tapton's size and structure, but we like the values and atmosphere. The teachers seem friendly and my child's enjoying their classes. However, we're finding it hard to get in touch with the form tutors and the school's communication could improve. Fingers crossed it gets better! *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Tapton School, You're Doing Something Right!: I'm so impressed with Tapton School, especially the emphasis on values. My child has made great friends and the teachers are knowledgeable and supportive. We love the extracurricular programs too, like the jazz band and volunteer work. Keep up the fantastic work! *(Sep 2022)*
