## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience for Our Daughter!: We've been absolutely delighted with Pyrland School. Our daughter has flourished in her time here, thanks to the dedication of the teachers and the emphasis on pastoral care. The sports facilities are also top-notch - our daughter has loved playing in the school teams. We feel that Pyrland School truly lives up to its values and we're grateful for the education it's provided. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Good, Some Room for Improvement: We've been generally happy with Pyrland School, but there are a few areas where we think the school could improve. The food in the cafeteria is often uninspiring, and we've found that the communication from teachers can be a bit hit-or-miss. On the other hand, the sports teams are excellent and our daughter has loved the opportunities to participate. Overall, we feel that Pyrland School has a lot to offer, but it could do with a bit more attention to detail. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares: We have two children who have attended Pyrland School and we couldn't be more pleased with the education and support they've received. From the moment they started, we felt that the school was committed to helping them grow into confident and compassionate individuals. The school's Christian values are evident in everything they do, and we've been impressed by the way they encourage students to be their best selves. *(Sep 2021)*
