"A great school with a fantastic Forest School!"

I've been impressed with the staff and facilities at Gretton Primary. The Forest School program is a highlight - my child has grown so much in confidence and independence. We feel very lucky to be part of the school community.

"Some good aspects, but areas for improvement"

We moved our child to a different school, but our experience at Gretton Primary was mixed. Some staff were excellent, while others seemed to lack enthusiasm or support. The facilities are good, but we felt the school could be more effective in managing behavior.
