"Mixed Feelings"

We're still relatively new to Gorseybrigg, but we're having mixed feelings about the school. The teachers are lovely and the facilities are great, but we feel like the school could do more to engage with parents and involve us in the decision-making process. Fingers crossed this will improve as we go on.

"A Fantastic School Experience"

We have been at Gorseybrigg for 3 years now and it's been an incredible journey. The teachers are all so caring and knowledgeable, and the facilities are amazing. Our child loves attending the Forest Schools and Eco Garden projects - it's great to see them learning and having fun at the same time!

"Great School with Amazing Values"

We moved away from Dronfield last year, but we still think highly of Gorseybrigg. The school's values of kindness, compassion, and care for the environment really shine through. Our child had a great time here and we're so grateful for the education they received.
