"Outstanding School and Staff!"

We have been at Northwood Primary School for 2 years now and we couldn't be happier! The staff are always approachable and supportive, the facilities are excellent and the values-based education is exactly what we were looking for. My child is thriving and we feel so lucky to be part of the Northwood community.

"A Great School Experience"

We moved to the area 3 years ago and our daughter started at Northwood Primary School. We were impressed by the warm welcome and the way the school values were embedded in everyday life. My daughter loved the Forest School sessions and the residential trip was a highlight of her year. We were sad to leave but are grateful for the experience.

"Good but Room for Improvement"

We have been at Northwood Primary School for a year now and have mixed feelings. The facilities are great and the staff are friendly, but we feel that the homework can be excessive at times. Our child is happy and engaged, but we worry about the pressure to perform. Overall, it's a good school with some areas for improvement.
