## About

I believe that Home Farm Primary should be the first choice for all parents and carers. It is the school’s ethos that every child develops holistically: both academically and as a person in their own right. We work with the community to ensure that each child benefits from a truly rewarding and rounded educational experience.

## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Amazing experience at Home Farm Primary!: My son has been at Home Farm Primary for a year now and I'm so impressed with the progress he's made. The outdoor project weeks have been a highlight for him, and the staff are always available to discuss his progress. The open classroom sessions have also been great for keeping me informed about what's going on. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about Home Farm Primary: My child has been at Home Farm Primary for 2 years now, and while we've had some great experiences, there have been some issues with communication and organization. The facilities are lovely, and the staff are generally friendly, but I feel like we often have to chase up information about upcoming events or my child's progress. Overall, it's been a decent experience, but I wouldn't say it's been outstanding. *(Mar 2021)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and values: I sent my daughter to Home Farm Primary several years ago and she thrived there. The school's emphasis on holistic development really resonated with us, and my daughter's academic and personal growth was impressive. The Colchester poem project is a great example of the school's commitment to community and creativity. *(Jun 2020)*
