Please see below some of the wonderful comments from our families in response to our recent parent survey (January 2026). Brilliant teachers, any concerns that have been raised were dealt with in correct manner and have been very supportive to not only my child but family as a whole.
The school having the addition of Mrs Richardson is what keeps my child at school knowing her support to families as well as Children! Also the reception team Especially Mrs Howard have been particularly supportive in a time of massive transition for my child
