"Excellent Education"

Our child was at Forge Wood Primary for three years and had a fantastic experience. The school's emphasis on values and British values in particular really resonated with us. The teachers were always friendly and kept us informed about our child's progress. We couldn't be happier with the education they received.

"Mixed Feelings"

We have mixed feelings about Forge Wood Primary School. On the one hand, we love the enthusiasm of the teachers and the variety of clubs and activities on offer. However, we feel that the school could do more to support children with special needs and provide more communication with parents about school events.
