"Best School Decision Ever!"
My daughter is thriving at Icknield Lower School. The staff are dedicated, caring and truly invested in her progress. The values-based education and focus on outdoor learning have been a perfect match for our family's values. Five stars isn't enough, I'd give them ten if I could!

"Excellent Education and Community"
We're really impressed with the quality of teaching and the enthusiasm of the staff. The school's focus on arts and music has been a highlight for my child. We've also loved getting involved with FOILS and the school's events. Our little ones are growing up to be confident, kind and curious individuals - thanks Icknield!

"A Mixed Experience"
While our experience at Icknield Lower School has been mostly positive, there have been some challenges. The staff are generally caring and dedicated, but we've experienced some inconsistencies in teaching quality. We've loved the outdoor learning and arts programs, but feel that the school could do more to engage with the community and involve parents in decision-making. We're hoping for an improvement in the coming year.
