"Mixed feelings"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Parkside Primary so far. The facilities are great and the staff are lovely, but we've found the school's approach to behaviour management to be a bit inconsistent at times. Still, we're hopeful that things will settle down and we'll see our child thrive.

"Excellent education and values"

We chose Parkside Primary for its commitment to academic excellence and its strong values-based approach. My child has thrived in the school's supportive environment and has made some wonderful friends along the way. The school's 'Pioneer' ethos is really inspiring and we feel proud to be part of the community.

The school's focus on child-centred learning really suited our child's needs and we saw them grow in confidence and abilities.
