"Excellent Education and Support"

As a former parent at Lantern Community Primary School, I can confidently say that the school provided my child with a fantastic education and a strong sense of community. The 'Perseverance' value really resonated with me, as it instilled a growth mindset in my child. The school's approach to mental health and well-being was also incredibly supportive.

"Mixed Experience"

We've had a mixed experience at Lantern Community Primary School. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, but we've had some issues with communication from the school. The 'Achievement for all' value is great, but we feel that the school could do more to support children with special educational needs. Overall, it's been an okay experience, but we're not sure if we'll be staying.
