"Wonderful rural setting and caring staff"
We moved to Northbourne from the city and it's been a game-changer for our children. The rural setting is perfect for outdoor learning and play, and the staff are so caring and supportive. Our child was nervous about starting but is now thriving. Highly recommend!

"Good but some issues with communication"
We had a good experience at Northbourne, but there were some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's values and facilities are great, and our child loved the Forest School program. Just wish we'd had more updates on progress.

"Love the Forest School and Christian values"
We chose Northbourne for its Forest School program and Christian values, and we've not been disappointed. Our child loves going on adventures in the woods and learning about God's love. The staff are great and the school community feels very welcoming.
