"Excellent school with a supportive community"

I've been impressed with the Windmills Junior School since my son started in Year 3. The teachers are dedicated and the facilities are great - the outdoor play areas are a particular highlight. The school's focus on creativity and community is exactly what I want for my child.

"Wonderful school with a great ethos"

I'm really pleased with the Windmills Junior School. The teachers are friendly and approachable, and the school's emphasis on creativity and problem-solving is exactly what I want for my child. The only thing that prevents me from giving it a full 5 stars is the sometimes chaotic drop-off and pick-up process.

"A good school, but some areas for improvement"

Our child went through the Windmills Junior School from Year 3 to Year 6 and we had mixed experiences. The teachers were generally friendly and supportive, but there were sometimes issues with communication and organisation. The facilities are good, but the school could benefit from more resources and investment.
