## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic school: Love this school. They have fantastic teachers who are really supportive. The children make great academic progress and there are lots of fun activities for everyone to get involved in. They have an outdoor learning area with a fire pit, large playing fields, playground equipment, and most importantly - an outdoor swimming pool. Literally the only downside we’ve found is that the lunch menu could be better. *(Mar 2025)*
- **5/5** — An exceptional school that really cares: Westende Junior School has far exceeded our expectations in every way. The school's values are truly embedded in everything they do, and the staff are dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential. My son is thriving in the school and we couldn't be more grateful for the support and care he's received. *(Feb 2022)*

The staff are very supportive and the school's values of respect, happiness and resilience really shine through in everything they do. *(Sep 2020)*
- **4/5** — A great school with some minor areas for improvement: We moved to the area a few years ago and my children have been at Westende Junior School since then. Overall, we've been very happy with the school. The facilities are excellent, the teachers are great and the school's commitment to inclusivity is impressive. However, I've sometimes found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy, particularly when it comes to updates on events and activities. *(Jun 2020)*
