"Great school with a lot to offer"

My child attended The Shade Primary School for 2 years and had a great experience. The school's focus on the 5Rs values and the use of technology in the classroom were particularly impressive. However, I did feel that the school could benefit from more extracurricular activities.

"Good school with some areas for improvement"

We've been pleased with the progress our child has made at The Shade Primary School, but have experienced some difficulties with communication from the school office. The facilities are modern and clean, and the teachers seem well-qualified.
