## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Real Community: We moved to the area last year and were a bit apprehensive about choosing a new school, but English Martyrs has been a breath of fresh air. The teachers are dedicated, the other parents are friendly, and the children are happy and engaged. My child has made some wonderful friends and we feel very much a part of the school community. *(Mar 2025)*
- **4/5** — Excellent School Experience: My child has been at English Martyrs for four years and we have been thoroughly impressed with the caring and supportive staff. The school's emphasis on values and faith has helped my child develop a strong moral compass. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is due to the occasional issue with communication from the front office. *(Feb 2025)*
