## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some positives, but areas for improvement: We've had our son at The Oldershaw School for 2 years now, and while we've seen some progress, there are still areas where we feel the school could improve. The facilities are generally good, although the ICT suite could do with an update. The teachers are mostly supportive, but some seem to be more engaged than others. We appreciate the emphasis on kindness and respect, but feel that the school could do more to promote a sense of community and inclusivity. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great starting point for our children's education: We've had our daughter at The Oldershaw School for just over a year now, and have been really impressed with the school's approach to education. The teachers are all very approachable and supportive, and the extra-curricular activities have given her the opportunity to try new things and make new friends. The school's values of kindness, respect and resilience are also really important to us, and we feel confident that our daughter is learning these valuable life skills. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school with a heart of gold: We've had our children attend The Oldershaw School for the past 4 years and have been consistently impressed with the kindness and respect shown to all pupils. The extra-curricular activities are plentiful and my kids have loved being part of the school choir. The facilities are also excellent, with a great sports hall and well-maintained playing fields. We're so grateful to be a part of this community. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great school with a strong sense of values: My son attended The Oldershaw School for 5 years and thrived in this supportive and inclusive environment. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on kindness, respect and resilience, which were drilled into the children from an early age. The teachers were all passionate and dedicated, and the school's commitment to extra-curricular activities was outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending Oldershaw to other parents. *(Apr 2022)*
