## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school experience: We have been with Dishforth Airfield Primary School for 2 years now and it's been an absolute delight. The staff are caring and supportive, the facilities are excellent and the values they instil in the children are fantastic. Our child is thriving and we feel so lucky to be a part of this community. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Supportive and inclusive: We moved to the area and were a bit nervous about finding a new school, but Dishforth Airfield Primary School has been a great choice. The staff are very supportive and the children are encouraged to be their best selves. They have a strong focus on emotional wellbeing and have provided excellent support for our child during a difficult time. We're very grateful for the school's help and guidance. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good experience, but some room for improvement: We moved to the area a few years ago and our child attended Dishforth Airfield Primary School for a short time. The staff were friendly and the facilities were good, but we found the communication between home and school to be a bit lacking at times. Our child settled in well and made some lovely friends, but we did worry that they were missing out on some of the more creative activities that our previous school offered. Overall, a good experience, but could be improved with a bit more attention… *(Mar 2021)*
