"Room for improvement, but a great foundation"

We've been at St Winnow Primary for a year now and have mixed feelings. The school's facilities are excellent, and the staff are generally friendly. However, we feel that the curriculum could be more challenging, and there are sometimes issues with communication between teachers and parents. We're hoping to see some improvements in the coming year.

"A great school with a lot to offer"

We moved away from the area, but our child had a wonderful time at St Winnow Primary. The teachers were engaging, the facilities were modern, and the curriculum was well-rounded. We were impressed with the school's commitment to supporting the whole child, not just their academic achievement.
