## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some Positives, Some Negatives: I have mixed feelings about Newbridge Learning Community. The school has some fantastic facilities, and the staff seem knowledgeable and enthusiastic. However, I feel that some of the programs they offer, such as the National School Breakfast Programme, could be more consistent and well-organized. *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — An Amazing School: I have seen my daughter flourish at Newbridge Learning Community. The staff and facilities are excellent, and the values they teach are second to none. The Duke of Edinburgh programme has been particularly beneficial for my daughter, building her confidence and helping her develop new skills. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Life-Changing Experience: My son attended Newbridge Learning Community a few years ago, and it was a life-changing experience for him. The staff were supportive, and the curriculum was engaging and relevant. I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a place that truly cares about their child's well-being and education. *(Jun 2021)*
