## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Our lovely school: We've been at Ruswarp for 2 years now and couldn't be happier. The children love the forest school area and the staff are always helpful and friendly. My child has flourished here and we feel like we're part of a big family. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for improvement: We've been at Ruswarp for a year now and while the school has many positives, we feel that communication with parents could be better. The teachers are mostly great, but we've had some issues with consistency. Overall, we're happy with the school, but there's definitely room for improvement. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school: We sent our child to Ruswarp for 6 years and had a fantastic experience. The school's values of 'think for yourself and act for others' really resonated with us. The staff are dedicated and caring, and the facilities are excellent. *(Jun 2020)*
