## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Values: We have been part of the Acton CEVC community for 5 years now, and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of education provided. The school's emphasis on 'Be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble' is something that we, as parents, can see being instilled in our children. The Church's active role in the school is also wonderful to see, and we have made many friends through the events and activities. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Our Happy Experience at Acton CEVC: We have been a part of the Acton CEVC community for 2 years now and I can confidently say that we have received nothing but love, care and support from the staff. The values of 'Strive, Support, Succeed' truly reflect the school's philosophy, and we see our children thriving under this guidance. We are grateful for the opportunities provided, such as the RockSteady Concert and the educational visits. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Good start but needs improvement: We left Acton CEVC last year due to a change in our family circumstances, but we still keep in touch with the school and our child's teachers. The school has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very supportive. However, I feel that more emphasis could be placed on teaching skills that are relevant to everyday life, and the curriculum could be more engaging for all children. *(Sep 2022)*
