"Our Happy Child Thrives at Gillingham Primary"

My child has been at Gillingham Primary for 2 years now, and we couldn't be happier with the school. The teachers are all very supportive, and the facilities are amazing - the outdoor learning area is a particular highlight for us. We love the school's values of 'Enjoy - Engage - Excel' too, it's really clear that these are at the heart of everything they do. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful school for our child.

"Mixed Feelings About Gillingham Primary"

We've had a mixed experience at Gillingham Primary. Our child loves their teacher and the school's facilities are great, but we've had some issues with communication from the school office. We've also found that the school's expectations can be a bit high at times, but overall we think it's a good school.

"Gillingham Primary Helped Our Child Blossom"

We moved out of the area, but our child's teacher at Gillingham Primary stayed in touch and kept us updated on their progress. The school's SEND department were also incredibly supportive when our child needed extra help. We're so grateful for everything they did to help our child thrive.

"A Great School with a Strong Community"

We've been really impressed with the community at Gillingham Primary. The school's commitment to working with parents and carers is clear, and it's lovely to see so many parents getting involved in school events. Our child loves the phonics program too - they've made so much progress in just a few months.
