## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional School Experience: We've been at Lantern for 2 years and it's been an absolute pleasure. The staff are friendly, caring and really know each child's needs. The facilities are great, especially the forest school and mini orchard - the kids love learning outdoors! *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: We moved to a different area when our child finished nursery, but we were sad to leave Lantern behind. The values of 'Respect', 'Care' and 'Persevere' really stuck with us and we've carried them forward. The Headteacher, Michelle, was always approachable and supportive. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Support for Individual Needs: Lantern has been a godsend for our child, who has special educational needs. The staff have been incredibly supportive and flexible, and the school has gone above and beyond to ensure our child feels included. The curriculum is also really well-rounded and engaging. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement: We've had a mixed experience at Lantern. The staff are generally friendly, but communication with parents can be a bit hit-or-miss. The facilities are decent, but the school could do more to promote extracurricular activities and events. *(Sep 2021)*
