"A wonderful school community!"
We've been so impressed with Burnside Primary since our child started in Reception. The values of kindness, respect, and determination really shine through in every aspect of the school. The staff are caring and supportive, and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. We feel so lucky to be a part of this community.

"Excellent education and values"
My children thrived at Burnside Primary and I credit the school's values-based approach for helping them develop into confident and compassionate individuals. The school's emphasis on literacy and numeracy also prepared them well for secondary school. I highly recommend Burnside to any parent seeking a school that genuinely cares about its pupils.

"Mixed feelings about the school"
We've had a mixed experience with Burnside Primary. The school's facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the staff are generally friendly and supportive. However, we've sometimes found the communication between the school and parents to be lacking, and our child has struggled with the homework load. Overall, it's been an okay experience, but we're not entirely satisfied.
