## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares: We've been blown away by the passion and dedication of the staff at Walton Leigh. The school's focus on making every day count is truly inspiring, and we've seen our child blossom in confidence and ability since starting here. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is that we've experienced some issues with communication between teachers and parents, but overall we're so grateful to be part of this school community. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Experience: We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Walton Leigh so far, with some really positive interactions with the staff and some more challenging moments. Our child is still getting used to the school routine and we've had some issues with communication about their progress. However, we do appreciate the school's focus on making every day count and are hopeful that our child will thrive here in the long term. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School for Our Son!: We have been so impressed with Walton Leigh's approach to supporting our son's special needs. The facilities are excellent and the staff are always willing to listen and adapt to our child's changing needs. We feel confident that our son is happy and safe, and we can't thank Mark and the team enough for everything they've done for our family. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Nurturing Environment for Our Child: I was a parent at Walton Leigh for several years and was constantly impressed by the school's commitment to providing a nurturing environment for all children. The staff went above and beyond to support my child's individual needs, and we saw significant progress and growth during our time at the school. While there were some minor issues with administration, we felt very supported and cared for by the entire team. *(Jun 2021)*
