"Wonderful Ladybirds Class!"

We've been at Wistanstow CofE Primary for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with the care and education our child is receiving. The Ladybirds Class is amazing, with a perfect balance of play and learning. We love the Class Dojo system and how it encourages our child to be kind and responsible. The teachers are all so supportive and the school values of Friendship, Respect, and Honesty really shine through.

"Outstanding School!"

I'm so impressed with the progress our child has made since starting at Wistanstow CofE Primary. The phonics program is fantastic and the Bug Club scheme is brilliant for helping them learn to read. The staff are all so friendly and dedicated, and the school's focus on outdoor learning is amazing.

"Nice School, a bit too strict"

I have fond memories of our time at Wistanstow CofE Primary, but I do think the school could be a bit more flexible with its rules. The curriculum is excellent and the teachers are great, but sometimes I felt like the expectations were a bit too high for our child. Overall, a nice school, but not perfect.
