"Excellent Education and Care"

My daughter has thrived at Devonshire Primary Academy. The teachers are knowledgeable, and the small class sizes allow for individual attention. The emphasis on values like resilience and respect is also fantastic. We feel so lucky to have found this school.

"Room for Improvement in Communication"

While I was overall happy with Devonshire Primary Academy, I do feel that communication could be improved. At times, it was difficult to get in touch with the teachers or get updates on our son's progress. However, the school has a great atmosphere and a strong focus on values. I've seen how well my child has developed, and for that, I'm grateful.
