"Fantastic school community!"
We've been at Lapford School for three years now and I couldn't be happier with the care and education our children receive. The teachers and staff are all so supportive and the values of compassion, ambition, and teamwork are truly embedded in everything they do. We've enjoyed many amazing forest school sessions and our kids have made lifelong friendships.

"Good experiences, but some areas for improvement"
We've had a generally positive experience at Lapford School so far. Our child is thriving in Reception and we love the emphasis on outdoor learning. However, we've noticed that communication with the class teachers could be more frequent and the online payment system sometimes causes issues. Overall, we're happy but feel there's room for some fine-tuning.

"Exceptional education and care"
My children attended Lapford School from Reception to Year 6 and we were consistently impressed with the high standard of education and care they received. The school's commitment to providing a warm and inclusive environment made it the perfect choice for our family. We're so grateful for the strong foundation they built for their future success.
