"Mixed Feelings"

We have enjoyed our experience at Esh Primary so far, but I do have some concerns about the pace of learning. The school's emphasis on core values is great, and I appreciate the regular communication with parents. However, I feel that the school could do more to support children with SEN.

"Outstanding School Experience"

My children have thrived at Esh Primary. The staff are caring, dedicated and go above and beyond to ensure each child reaches their full potential. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on Christian values, which is evident in the way the children interact with each other and their respect for the teachers.

"A Hidden Gem in Durham"

We moved to Durham and I was blown away by the warm welcome we received at Esh Primary. The school's focus on building relationships and community is something to be admired. The facilities are excellent, and the school's commitment to extra-curricular activities is impressive.
