## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Downfield Primary School is a hidden gem!: My child has been attending Downfield Primary School for two years now, and I must say, it has been an excellent decision. The staff are warm, welcoming, and incredibly supportive. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, with a lovely playground and a spacious library. I love how the school focuses on character development and encourages children to 'aspire and achieve'. My child has thrived here! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A solid but not spectacular experience: My child has been attending Downfield Primary School for a year now. While the school has its strengths, I feel that it could do more to engage parents and involve them in the decision-making process. The curriculum seems comprehensive, and the staff are generally friendly, but I've noticed that some classes can be quite large. Overall, it's an okay school, but I'm not blown away by the experience so far. *(Aug 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great school with a caring environment: We were lucky to have our children attend Downfield Primary School. The school's commitment to providing a happy, caring, and secure environment really stood out to me. The staff were always approachable and willing to listen. My children enjoyed the topic-based learning approach and the opportunities to participate in various extracurricular activities. We were sad to leave but will always look back fondly on their time at Downfield. *(Feb 2021)*
