"A Good School with Some Areas for Improvement"

Thorpe Primary is a decent school with some excellent teachers. My child enjoys the Spanish lessons and has made progress in their reading. However, I feel that the school could do better in terms of communication and keeping parents informed about their child's progress. Also, the Behaviour Blueprint can be a bit strict at times.

We've been really impressed with Thorpe Primary's facilities, particularly the Art Enrichment program. The teachers are knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, and my child has enjoyed the Computing classes greatly. The school's Behaviour Blueprint has also helped to promote positive behaviour and self-discipline.
