"A Real Gem!"

We've been at Essendon CofE Primary for a few years now and have absolutely loved it. The values of cooperation, respect, challenge, kindness and independence are truly reflected in the way the school runs and the way the children behave. The school's facilities are also fantastic, with a wonderful playground and a great field for sports days.

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

We're relatively new to Essendon CofE and are still getting to know the school. We like the values and the way the children are encouraged to be kind and respectful to one another. However, we've found some of the facilities to be a bit outdated and the communication from the school could be better.

"Excellent school!"

My children went to Essendon CofE from Reception to Year 6 and had a fantastic time. The school's approach to learning is excellent and the teachers are all so passionate about what they do. We were also impressed with the school's commitment to spiritual education and the way the children were encouraged to think about their own values and beliefs.
