"Inspirational and inclusive"

Evergreen Primary School has exceeded our expectations in every way. The curriculum is so tailored to the children's needs, and the sensory rooms are amazing. Our child has made so much progress since joining the school, and we're grateful for the support and encouragement from the staff.

"Excellent school, wonderful facilities and caring staff!"

We've been really impressed with Evergreen Primary School. The hydrotherapy pool has been a game-changer for my child's physical therapy sessions. The staff are so caring and patient, and the classroom decorations for Christmas were a lovely touch. We feel so lucky to have found such a great school for our child.

"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Evergreen Primary School. The facilities are excellent, and the teachers are generally good. However, we've had some issues with communication between the school and parents, and we feel that the school could do more to keep us informed about what's going on. Still, we're hopeful that things will improve.

"Great school with a lot of heart"

We were at Evergreen Primary School for 3 years and had a great experience. The school's values of 'Inspire, Enjoy, Achieve' really shine through in the way the staff and teachers work with the children. We were a bit sad to leave, but we know our child is well-prepared for the next stage of their education.
