"A Home Away from Home"

I was blown away by the warm atmosphere and friendly staff at Goodnestone CE Primary School. My child loves attending the Woodland Club every Tuesday and feels safe and encouraged to explore their creativity. The Christian values and sense of community are truly what make this school stand out. Highly recommend!

"Some Room for Improvement"

While we have generally been happy with Goodnestone CE Primary School, there have been some issues with communication and organisation. The staff are lovely, but sometimes it feels like they're stretched too thin. Still, we're hopeful for the future and are committed to making it work.
