"Wonderful school for our little ones!"

We've been so impressed with the Badshot Lea Village Infant School since our daughter started in Reception. The staff are caring and attentive, and the facilities are excellent. We particularly love the emphasis on 'Belonging' and 'Respect' - our daughter feels happy and included every day.

"Some great aspects, but could be improved"

We've been attending the Badshot Lea Village Infant School for a few months now, and while there are some great things about the school, we do feel that it's a bit disorganized at times. The facilities are lovely, but sometimes the communication from the school could be better. That being said, our daughter loves her teachers and the values-based approach, so we'll continue to give it a try.
