## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A wonderful school community!: My daughter loves Orchard Infant School! The teachers are kind, caring, and engaging. The school's values of teamwork, respect, and excellence really shine through in every aspect of school life. I feel so lucky to have found such a supportive community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for improvement, but overall a good experience: We've had a mixed experience at Orchard Infant School. The teachers are enthusiastic and try their best, but we've had some issues with communication and organization. The school's Universal SEND offer is a great resource for children with special needs, and we appreciate the efforts they make to include everyone. On the whole, we're happy with our child's progress, but there's still room for improvement. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — A great foundation for our child's education!: We were so sad to leave Orchard Infant School when our child moved up to junior school! The school's facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the staff are always willing to lend a helping hand. We loved the tRee Time afterschool provision, which gave us peace of mind knowing our child was safe and happy. *(Jun 2021)*
