The school's values of compassion, respect, and honesty have really resonated with me, and I love the extra-curricular activities they offer, such as the Exmoor Youth Challenge.

- **4/5** — Good School but Some Room for Improvement: I've been generally pleased with my child's experience at Danesfield, but there are a few areas where I think the school could improve. The school's values and focus on learning are excellent, but I've noticed that some of the facilities could do with some updating. Additionally, I think the school could do more to involve parents in the decision-making process. Overall, a good school but not without its flaws. *(Jun 2022)*
