"Room for Improvement, but Generally Good"

We've been at Lark Rise for a year now and while we're generally pleased with the school, there are a few areas that need improvement. The facilities are great, especially the playground and sports hall, and the teachers are mostly supportive. However, we've had some issues with communication and organisation, which can be frustrating. Overall, we're happy with the school, but hope to see some changes in the future.

"Outstanding School and Community"

We were part of the Lark Rise community for 5 years and we cannot recommend it highly enough. The school's commitment to excellent standards of teaching and its partnership with local and national organisations really shows. Our child thrived in the inspiring curriculum and highly-effective teaching, and we're so grateful for the foundation they received.
