## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent school and values: We have been at Great Wakering Primary for 5 years now and I must say that we have loved every minute of it. The school's values of Aspire, Respect, and Achieve are truly inspiring and have helped our child grow into a confident and compassionate individual. The facilities are also top-notch, especially the outdoor play areas. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding education and community: We moved away from Great Wakering a year ago, but our child still talks about the amazing experiences they had at the school. The teachers were supportive, the curriculum was engaging, and the extracurricular activities were plentiful. The school's commitment to community is also impressive, with many opportunities for parents to get involved. *(Jan 2021)*
- **4/5** — Some positives and negatives: We have been at Great Wakering Primary for a year now, and while we have had some great experiences, we have also encountered some challenges. The school's focus on STEM subjects is impressive, and the staff are generally very supportive. However, we have found the communication with the teachers to be a bit hit-or-miss at times. *(Sep 2020)*
