"Wonderful School Experience!"

We've been truly happy with Ash Cartwright & Kelsey C of E Primary School. The facilities are excellent, especially the outdoor learning areas and the pond. The staff are friendly and supportive, and the school values of Friendship, Joy, Community, Forgiveness, Perseverance and Creation are evident throughout. Our child has thrived in their first year.

"Excellent Education and Care"

We've been impressed with the high standards of education at Ash Cartwright & Kelsey. The teachers are dedicated and caring, and the school's curriculum is well-rounded. The Breakfast Club and After School Club have been a lifesaver for us, and the school uniform is simple and easy to manage.

"Some Concerns, But Generally Good"

Overall, we've been satisfied with our experience at Ash Cartwright & Kelsey. However, we've had some concerns about the workload and pressure on the children, particularly in Year 5. The PE and Sport provision has been excellent, but we've found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times.
