## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home Away From Home: Willow Grove Primary School has been a game changer for my child. The trauma-informed approach and kind staff have helped them feel safe and confident. We love the Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Positive values that are instilled throughout the school. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement: We have been pleased with the progress our child has made at Willow Grove Primary School, but we feel that they could do more to engage parents in school activities. The parents' evening booking system is also a bit clunky. Overall, a good school with potential. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Excellent Transition Support: My child transitioned to Willow Grove Primary School with significant SEMH needs. The school provided excellent support and helped them settle in quickly. We were impressed with the Family Partnership approach and the opportunities for parent engagement. *(Dec 2020)*
