The facilities are great, the teachers are supportive, and the sense of community is wonderful. Our daughter has thrived here and we feel grateful to be a part of such a caring and inclusive environment. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for improvement, but a lovely school: We've had a mixed experience at Danby so far. The teachers are generally supportive, and the school's commitment to mental health and wellbeing is really positive. However, the playground can be a bit chaotic and we've had some issues with communication from the school. Overall, it's a lovely school, but there's definitely room for improvement. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great educational experience, fantastic values!: We were delighted with the education our two children received at Danby. The school's focus on Christian values and community is really special, and the teachers did a great job of preparing them for secondary school. We're so grateful for the opportunities our children had while they were here. *(Jun 2021)*
