"Great School, Some Issues with Communication"

We've had a good experience at Dursley Primary. The teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the school's values of kindness and respect are really evident. However, we've sometimes struggled with communication from the school - it would be great if they could keep parents more informed about events and upcoming deadlines.

"A Positive Start to Primary School"

We're really pleased with the way our child has settled in at Dursley Primary. The staff are welcoming and the facilities are great - we love the fact that they have a designated Forest School area for the kids to explore. We're looking forward to seeing our child continue to thrive here.

"A Fantastic Education in a Supportive Environment"

We moved to Dursley a few years ago and were nervous about finding a good school for our children. But Dursley Primary has exceeded all our expectations - the teachers are caring and dedicated, and the school's Christian values have really helped our kids develop a sense of purpose and belonging.
