## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Good but could improve on communication: We've had a mixed experience with Testbourne so far. The school has a lot of great facilities and opportunities for our child, but we've sometimes struggled with communication from the school. The pastoral care is also variable - our child has had some issues with bullying in the past. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with great facilities: We've been impressed with the facilities at Testbourne since our child started. The sports hall and 3G pitch are a big plus and have helped them develop their sports skills. The school's emphasis on independence, resilience and responsibility is also something we appreciate. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great school with a caring community: We've been really impressed with Testbourne since our child started. The school has a great community feel and the staff are always willing to help. The facilities are also excellent, and our child has really enjoyed the Duke of Edinburgh's Award program. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Well-rounded education with caring staff: Our child attended Testbourne from Year 7 to Year 11 and we couldn't be happier with the education they received. The staff are caring and supportive, and the curriculum is well-rounded with plenty of opportunities for extracurricular activities. We've also been impressed with the school's pastoral care. *(Jun 2021)*
