## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional School Experience: We've been so impressed with the care and education our child has received at Sutton Upon Derwent. The outdoor learning facilities are fantastic and the staff are always enthusiastic and supportive. The values of the school align perfectly with our own and we feel grateful to be a part of such a wonderful community. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good, but Room for Improvement: Our child enjoys attending Sutton Upon Derwent, but we've noticed that the class sizes can be a bit on the larger side at times. The school's commitment to outdoor learning is great, though, and the staff are generally very supportive. With a bit more attention to class size, this could be a truly outstanding school. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — A True Community School: We sent our two children to Sutton Upon Derwent and they thrived in the school's nurturing environment. The science superheroes program was a particular highlight for them, and we loved the way the school encouraged curiosity and exploration. We would highly recommend this school to any family. *(Sep 2021)*
