## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A wonderful school with dedicated teachers: We've been at Valley Primary for 2 years now, and our experience has been fantastic. The teachers are dedicated, caring and go the extra mile to make sure our children feel supported. The facilities are excellent, and we love the focus on individuality and creativity. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school with some room for improvement: We've been at Valley Primary for a year now, and it's a good school with some great teachers. However, we've noticed that the school's focus on individuality can sometimes be inconsistent, and we've had a few issues with communication. Overall, we're happy with our choice, but there's definitely room for improvement. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding school, every step of the way: As a former parent at Valley Primary, I can confidently say it's one of the best schools in the area. My child thrived in their time there, and the staff were always approachable and willing to listen. We even took part in the 2-year-old provision, which was a game-changer for us. *(Dec 2021)*
