## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Mixed feelings so far: We've only been at Whitby School for a few months, so it's still early days for us. While the school's commitment to character development is great, we've had some issues with communication and clarity around the curriculum. The facilities are lovely, but we've noticed some inconsistencies in the teaching quality. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Experience so far!: My daughter has been at Whitby School for almost a year now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the facilities, staff, and values instilled in the children. The non-uniform days and house system encourage teamwork and responsibility, and the teachers are always approachable and supportive. We feel very lucky to be a part of this community! *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school with great traditions: Our children attended Whitby School for several years, and we can honestly say it was an excellent experience for them. The school's values of ambition, character, and endeavour really shine through in the way the staff and pupils interact with each other. We were particularly impressed with the transition program and how it helped our children adjust to the new school site. *(Sep 2022)*
