"Good but could be better"

While I was satisfied with the quality of education provided by Balksbury Infant School, there were a few areas that could use improvement. The school's values are commendable and they do take care of their students' well-being. However, some teachers can sometimes seem overworked and not as engaged as they could be.

"Excellent choice for our child"

We moved to Andover recently and were looking for a school that would provide a nurturing environment for our daughter. We're very happy with Balksbury Infant School - the teachers are enthusiastic, and the facilities are clean and modern. They also have some great programs like the Butterflies transition program which helped ease our child's nerves about starting school.
