"A Decent School, Room for Improvement"

As a parent, I was initially impressed with Damers First School's facilities, particularly the new library and the sports hall. However, our experience with our son's teacher, Mr. Jenkins, has been mixed, and we've noticed some inconsistent communication between the school and parents. Overall, it's an average school that could benefit from better teacher training and more parental involvement.

"Excellent Start for Our Daughter"

Damers First School has exceeded our expectations in every way. Our daughter, Alice, has thrived in a supportive and inclusive environment where her teachers, especially Mrs. Taylor, have gone above and beyond to help her learn and grow. We love the school's commitment to outdoor learning and the beautiful playgrounds that provide endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.
