"Excellent Education!"

Balfour Junior School has exceeded my expectations in every way. The curriculum is engaging, and the PE and sports programs are fantastic. My child has made many new friends and has become more confident. The school's commitment to inclusion and supporting children with SEND is also commendable. We feel very lucky to be part of this school community.

"Wonderful School!"

I've been thoroughly impressed with Balfour Junior School. The values of kindness, resilience, and gratitude are truly instilled in the children. My child's teacher, Mrs. Smith, is fantastic and always keeps me updated on how they're doing. The wrap-around care and facilities are also top-notch. I couldn't be happier!

"Some Issues with Communication"

I have mixed feelings about Balfour Junior School. My child attended for two years, and we did see some progress. However, I found it difficult to get in touch with teachers and the school office at times. The facilities are good, and the staff are generally friendly. If they could work on improving communication, I'd be happier to recommend the school.
