## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Love Holwell Primary!: We've had our son at Holwell Primary for 2 years now and we couldn't be happier with the school. The RICRAC values are wonderful and we've seen such a positive impact on our child's behaviour and attitude. The facilities are great too, especially the playground! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with a warm welcome: We visited Holwell Primary for a open day and were really impressed with the school's values and ethos. The headteacher and teachers were all so friendly and welcoming, and we felt immediately at ease. Our child has only just started, but we're already seeing how the RICRAC values are being taught and encouraged. We're really happy with our choice! *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good school, but needs some work on communication: We had our daughter at Holwell Primary for 5 years and overall it was a great experience. The headteacher, Miss French, is lovely and the RICRAC values are really embedded in the school culture. However, we sometimes found it difficult to get information from the school and felt that parents were not always kept in the loop. Still, we're grateful for the education our child received and the friendships she made. *(Jun 2021)*
