## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Facilities: We moved to Skipton a year ago and our son settled into Ermysted's Grammar School quickly. The staff and facilities are fantastic, we've seen a big improvement in his self-confidence and academic progress. We love the nurturing environment and the variety of extracurricular activities. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Choice for Our Family: We're really impressed with the way Ermysted's supports its pupils to become 'learned and wise men' with virtue. Our son is in Year 7 and loves his lessons, especially the Duke of Edinburgh Award and the Music Department. The Headmaster is approachable and the community is warm and welcoming. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Good School Experience: Our son attended Ermysted's for six years and we had a decent experience overall. The school offers a lot of opportunities for pupils to develop their skills and interests, and the teachers are mostly supportive. However, we felt that some of the facilities could be updated, and there were some communication issues with the school office at times. *(Nov 2021)*
