"Lovely School Experience"

My daughter has had an amazing time at Ashurst Wood Primary School. The staff are so friendly and supportive, and the facilities are fantastic. The forest school program has been a highlight for her, and it's great to see the school valuing creativity and outdoor learning. I'm so grateful for this school.

"Mixed Feelings"

My son loves his time at Ashurst Wood Primary School, but I'm not entirely sold on the Hurst Education Trust. While it's great that the school is getting more resources, I worry that it might lose its unique identity. The staff are still lovely and the facilities are good, but I miss the sense of community we had when the school was smaller.

"Excellent Education"

My twins attended Ashurst Wood Primary School and I couldn't be happier with the education they received. The school's values of kindness and respect were evident in everything they did, and the teachers were always approachable and supportive. We were a bit skeptical about the Hurst Education Trust, but it seems to have brought even more opportunities and resources to the school.
