"Best Little School in Derby"

We've been absolutely delighted with Shardlow Primary School. The facilities are excellent, the teachers are caring and the values the school promotes really shine through. Our child loves going to school and is always excited to tell us about their day.

"Shardlow's Strong Community"

We've been at Shardlow for a few years now and have found the community to be really supportive. The school's focus on the Shardlow Spirits values has helped our child develop a strong sense of empathy and kindness. The only downside is that some of the old classrooms could do with a renovation.

"Mixed Feelings About Shardlow"

While we've generally been happy with Shardlow Primary, we've had some issues with communication from the school. The teachers are mostly great, but sometimes it feels like they're more interested in their own projects than supporting our child's learning. We're hoping things will improve as our child moves into the older years.
