"A wonderful school community!"

I've been so impressed with Shilbottle Primary since my child started. The teachers are supportive, the facilities are modern and clean, and the emphasis on fun, respect, and friendship is evident in everything they do. My child has thrived here and loves going to school every day.

"Mixed first impressions"

We've only recently started at Shilbottle Primary, but so far our experience has been mixed. The school's website and virtual tour looked great, but the reality is a bit different. The school is a bit cluttered and the facilities are a bit tired in places. However, the teachers seem nice and my child is excited about starting in September. I'm hoping things will improve as we settle in.

"Excellent support for vulnerable children"

As a former parent, I was grateful for the support Shilbottle Primary provided my child who had special needs. The teachers were understanding and accommodating, and the school's commitment to Operation Encompass was reassuring. My child made great progress and I credit the school with helping them achieve their full potential.

"A great school with a strong sense of community"

I've been pleased with my child's experience at Shilbottle Primary. The school has a strong sense of community and the teachers are approachable and knowledgeable. The facilities are also great, with a lovely playground and a well-stocked library. My only criticism is that the after-school club prices are a bit steep, but overall I'm happy with the school.
