"I'm pleased with the school's teaching quality"

I'm pleased with the school's teaching quality. My child is learning well, and the teachers are approachable. However, I wish there were more extracurricular activities available.

"The school is safe, and my child feels secure"

The school is safe, and my child feels secure. But communication with parents could be improved; sometimes we don't get updates on time.

"My experience of athersley south primary school"

Athersley south primary school has great teachers, the quality is great for people who need extra help teachers are always there to help I went there for 8 years and the teachers was lovely and it's really easy to make friends. Even if you are feeling down every teacher is there to help you can go to any teacher. The meals are great just a but bigger size for the older ones would be great. Education and learning is fantastic.Safety of the school was great you could never leave the doors with put pins.Indoor environment was great I think it's like every 2 years new tables and chairs which is really good. The activities outdoors was really good everyone atheist had something to do. Xx
