"Excellent choice for our family"

We've been at Northgate Primary for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with the school. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the values of Aspire, Believe, Achieve really shine through. My child has thrived in the nursery and now in year 4, and the facilities are great. The before and after school provision has been a lifesaver for us.

"A great school with a warm and welcoming atmosphere"

We recently moved to the area and I was a bit nervous about finding a new school for our daughter. Northgate Primary has exceeded all my expectations. The staff are so friendly and the facilities are excellent. Our daughter loves her year 1 class and has made some great friends.

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

My son attended Northgate Primary a few years ago and we had a mixed experience. The staff were generally friendly and the facilities were good. However, we did experience some issues with communication and organisation. Overall, it was a good school but could have been better.
