## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience: I have been so impressed with the school's commitment to Christian values, particularly Respect and Friendship. My child has thrived in the caring environment and made lifelong friends. The nursery is a great resource for our youngest children and the school's focus on good mental health and wellbeing is very reassuring. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with Outstanding Facilities: I am so grateful to have my child attend Canon Sharples. The school's facilities are excellent, with a fantastic playground and a lovely community room for events. The teachers are kind, supportive and genuinely care about each child's progress. My child loves going to school and I feel so confident in the school's ability to provide a great education. *(Sep 2020)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We have mixed feelings about our experience at Canon Sharples. Our children enjoyed the school and made some great friends, but we sometimes felt that the school's priorities were a bit too focused on behaviour and discipline, rather than academic achievement. The school's Christian values were a big draw for us, but we felt that they were not always consistently applied. Overall, it was a good school experience, but not without its challenges. *(Jul 2019)*
