- **3/5** — Idk idk: It’s alright my lsa is the worst she’s so rude calling people unfit, taking ear defenders and peoples fidgets away when they need them. *(Jun 2023)*
- **4/5** — Good, but some areas for improvement: We've been at Merrylands Primary School and Nursery for a year now and overall we're happy with the experience. However, I feel that the school could do more to support children with special educational needs. The Safeguarding Newsletter is a great initiative, though. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school that supported my child's growth: I was a parent at Merrylands Primary School and Nursery from 2018-2022 and I have only positive things to say. The school's focus on academic achievement, as well as emotional and social growth, really helped my child thrive. The new intake tours were a great resource for us when we first joined the school. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with great values: I've been impressed with Merrylands Primary School and Nursery since my child started in reception. The values of respect, kindness and perseverance are really evident in the way the teachers and staff interact with the children. My child loves singing at Eastgate and the Christmas performance was fantastic. *(Oct 2022)*
