"Still getting used to the school"

We've only been at the Lea Primary School for a few months now, so it's still early days for us. My child is settling in well, but I'm not entirely convinced by the phonics scheme used by the school. The teachers seem friendly and enthusiastic, but I'm still getting used to the school's routines and policies.

"A wonderful school community"

We have been part of the Lea Primary School community for 4 years now and it has been an absolute pleasure. The school's values of kindness, respect, and empathy are truly embedded in the daily life of the school. My child has thrived in this nurturing environment and we feel so grateful to be part of it.

Our child started at the Lea Nursery and we were both impressed and reassured by the school's approach to learning and care. The facilities are well-maintained and the staff are friendly and approachable. We've been really happy with the progress our child has made and we feel confident that they are receiving a great education.

"A great school with a strong sense of community"

We moved out of the area a few years ago but we still have fond memories of our time at the Lea Primary School. The school's commitment to public sector equality duty was really impressive and we appreciated the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. Our child was well-supported and happy during their time there.
