## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic School Experience!: My child has been attending Sowerby Primary for 6 years and we've had an excellent experience. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the values of Courage, Kindness, Acceptance, Resilience and Respect are genuinely embedded in the school culture. We're going to miss the school dearly when we move to a new area next year! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Place to Learn: We're really pleased with the progress our child has made at Sowerby Primary. The school's focus on outdoor learning and the Saplings Nursery program has been a great success. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that we've experienced a few issues with communication from the school, but overall we're very happy. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A School That Truly Cares: We moved to a new area a few years ago and our child left Sowerby Primary, but we still keep in touch with the school. The staff were incredibly supportive during a difficult time for us, and we're grateful for the values they instilled in our child. We'd highly recommend Sowerby Primary to anyone looking for a school that truly cares about its pupils. *(Mar 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed Feelings: My child has been at Sowerby Primary for a year now, and while we're pleased with the progress they've made, we've had a few issues with the school's communication and organization. The values and programs are great, but we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed. We'll see how things go over the next year. *(Jan 2022)*
