"A School that Truly Cares"

I have two children who attended Chipping Sodbury School and both had a fantastic experience. The school's values of respect, integrity, responsibility and aspiration really resonated with us as a family. The sports facilities are excellent and our children loved taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. We are so proud of the people they have become thanks to the support and guidance of the staff.

"Some Great Aspects, but Room for Improvement"

We have been generally happy with Chipping Sodbury School, but there have been a few issues with communication from the teachers. The personal development curriculum is excellent and our child has really enjoyed the LIFE lessons. However, we feel that the school could do more to support students with additional needs. Overall, it's a good school, but we hope to see some improvements in the future.
