## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic Facilities and Friendly Staff: We've been impressed with the school's facilities, particularly the Forest School area where our child loves to explore and learn. The staff are also very approachable and always happy to chat about our child's progress. We feel very lucky to have found such a great school in Donisthorpe. *(Mar 2023)*
- **5/5** — Our Child Loves Donisthorpe Primary!: We moved to the area a year ago and were lucky to get our child into Donisthorpe Primary. From the start, the staff have been warm, welcoming and supportive. The school's values of 'Everyone Belongs' really shine through in their approach to teaching and community work. Our child is thriving and can't wait to go to school each day. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Good School, but Could Improve on Communication: We moved to the area a few years ago and our child attended Donisthorpe Primary until they moved to secondary school. Our experience was generally positive, with some excellent teachers and a fun, supportive atmosphere. However, we sometimes found it difficult to get in touch with teachers or the school office, which was frustrating when we needed to ask questions or resolve issues. *(Jun 2022)*
