"An amazing community!"

I'm so grateful to have my children at Sidlesham Primary School. The staff and teachers are all so caring and supportive, and the facilities are fantastic. My children love the Bushcraft sessions and playing in the forest area. The values of kindness, courage and ambition are truly reflected in everything they do.

"A great little school!"

Sidlesham Primary is a lovely school with a great atmosphere. My child loves attending the sports clubs and music lessons, and the teachers are all really supportive. One thing I would say is that the school could do with more outdoor play equipment, but overall we're very happy with our choice.

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

We moved to the area when my children were in Year 2 and 4, and they both did well at Sidlesham Primary. However, I did find the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit patchy at times. The facilities are nice and the staff are generally friendly, but I wouldn't say it's the best school in the area.
