"A loving and supportive community"

My child has been attending Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary for two years now and I'm so grateful for the nurturing environment they provide. The teachers are dedicated and caring, and the school's values of forgiveness, friendship, and justice really shine through in the way they treat our children. I've also been impressed by the various programs they offer, such as the residential trip for Year 6 and the sports competitions.

"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

My child is still in the early years, but I've seen some positives and negatives. The teachers seem enthusiastic and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. However, I've noticed that the communication between the school and parents could be improved, particularly with regards to updates on my child's progress. Overall, I think the school has potential, but needs to work on its communication skills.

"Excellent education and community"

We moved away from the area, but I'm still in touch with the school and the community. Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary provided our children with an exceptional education and a sense of belonging. The school's emphasis on Christian values and its commitment to safeguarding pupils gave me peace of mind as a parent. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a supportive and inclusive environment for their child.
