## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Our child is thriving at St Matthew's: My child joined St Matthew's in Reception and has grown so much as a person. The school's values of Responsibility, Kindness, Honesty and Respect are really instilled in the children and it's lovely to see them practicing these at home too. *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — Some positives and negatives: Our child is happy at St Matthew's and enjoys the Forest School program. However, we've experienced some communication issues with the school at times and I wish there was more support for children with English as an additional language. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — We loved our time at St Matthew's: My children attended St Matthew's from Reception to Year 6 and we had a wonderful time here. The staff were always supportive and the school's commitment to spiritual, moral, social and cultural provision was really evident. *(Nov 2020)*
