Chorley New Road Primary Academy

My daughter has been attending Chorley New Road Primary Academy for over a year now, and we are absolutely delighted with the school. The staff are so friendly and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. My daughter loves learning and playing with her friends. We feel so lucky to have found this school!

This wasbluke the best primary school. It was absolutely the best period of my life so far. I was in the ild school building when i joined and spent my last year (year 6) i the new school built on the feild.

The old building was falling apart ans we had so many floods. But it was nostalgic and felt like a cosy second home. There we always the same teatures and they were all sweet. There was oy one teature who wasn't that nice to lots of children and i dont think the teatures realised, they could make the toughest of children cry. They screamed at me for acsadetly splashing them with a puddle - when it was sunny and there was no puddles- and thay gave me a red card (idk if they still call it that). She later left the school so that was okay and we could all run around and be kids and not worry about splashing puddles in sunny wether ;-;

Im glad i got to spend atleast 1 year in the new building because it was brilliant and was not falling apart. The overall improvement from the old school was amazing. It was colourful and childish, yet it was also smart and shiny.

In the learning aspect it was amazing. The teachers were kind and supportive with learning and the fact of earning a certificate award at the end of the week pushed children to do better and more forward in learning. They felt better when rewarded and praised.

One thing they didn't do much of is more recognition on people with dyslexia and dyspraxia and other learning problems. They did help with spelling but they didn't identify the learning disability. Some children may need buff (coloured) paper or an overlay to help them read. You saw overlays a little bit butbit wasn't a BIG thing. I was constantly put in spelling g classes because i needed to learn how to spell more than others but i dont think they understanded that i just COULDN'T SPELL. I later learnt i was dyslexic and even if i learnt a spelling i wouldn't remember it. I dont know what it is like now in that area of expertise but that did need a little work.

I would 100% recommend sending your children to this school. I have heard lots of people didn't send there children to this school because they didn't support religious beliefs. This is not true at all they learnt and supported all religions. Just because thay dont have "saint" in there school name, like other shools in the area, dosent mean they dont support it.

Also the new outdoor area is so cute i love it sm!! It gives multiple play bits for kids in all the years and it can expand communication between the children.

Again 100% recommend

We've had a great experience at Chorley New Road Primary Academy, but there are a few things that could be improved. The school's commitment to 'Challenge, Nurture, Respect' is really admirable, and my son has thrived in this environment. However, the school could do with some extra outdoor play equipment.

My child attended Chorley New Road Primary Academy from Reception to Year 6, and we couldn't be happier with the progress they made. The school's focus on individual needs and the Early Years Foundation Stage Lead's dedication to ensuring a smooth transition to Year 1 were particularly impressive. We'll always be grateful for the support and guidance the teachers provided.
