## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Great School for Our Children to Grow: We have been so happy with Catchgate Primary School since our child joined in Reception. The staff are caring and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. We love the school's values and the way they promote British Values in the curriculum. Our child is thriving and can't wait to go to school every day. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Decent School, but Room for Improvement: We moved to a different area, but our child's experiences at Catchgate Primary School were generally positive. The headteacher was approachable and the school's facilities were good. However, we found the curriculum to be a bit rigid, and the school could have done more to support children with special needs. Overall, it was a decent school, but we're glad we made the move. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Catchgate Primary is a Great Place to Learn: My son loves his time at Catchgate Primary School. The teachers are experienced and enthusiastic, and the school's approach to learning is very engaging. We appreciate the school's focus on phonics and reading, and the way they encourage the children to ask questions and explore their interests. *(Mar 2022)*
