## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Welcoming and Supportive Community: We've been so happy with Walton Primary Academy. The school's emphasis on community and values is exactly what we were looking for. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the teachers are all so supportive. Our child loves going to school every day! *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Great Foundation for Our Child: We're really pleased with the progress our child has made since starting at Walton Primary. The school's phonics program has been a game-changer, and the teachers are all so enthusiastic and engaged. Our only suggestion would be to have more information available about the curriculum and school policies. *(Feb 2022)*
- **3/5** — A Decent Experience: We moved to the area and our child had a year at Walton Primary. It was an okay experience, but I think the school could do more to engage parents and involve them in the decision-making process. The facilities were nice, but some of the teachers seemed a bit detached from the children. *(Sep 2021)*
