## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Wonderful School Community!: We've been part of the Cockington family for three years now, and every day, I'm grateful for the nurturing environment and values that the school instills in my child. From the outdoor play facilities to the Performing Arts program, my daughter has thrived in this school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Good, Some Room for Improvement: While my child enjoys attending Cockington Primary, I sometimes feel that the school could do more to engage parents in the learning process. The values-based education is great, but it would be lovely to see more opportunities for parents to contribute and support their children's progress. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Start in Life: As a former parent of Cockington Primary, I can confidently say that my child's experience at the school laid a solid foundation for their future. The staff's dedication to teaching and the curriculum is evident, and the facilities are fantastic, especially the playgrounds! *(Jun 2021)*
