"Forestdale Primary is a gem!"

We've been so impressed with Forestdale Primary. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the focus on 'Believe - Aspire - Excel' has really inspired my child. We love the variety of after-school clubs, like gymnastics and French, and the regular updates on the website keep us informed.

"Some good, some not so good"

We've had a mixed experience at Forestdale Primary. The staff are generally great, but sometimes communication with the school can be a bit slow. However, we love the homework club and the annual events, like the carol concert at Hollymoor Church.

"Excellent school facility and values"

We moved away but still highly recommend Forestdale Primary. They have such excellent facilities, including the sports hall and playground. The 'Believe - Aspire - Excel' values really shine through in everything they do, from attendance to academic achievement.
