"Excellent education and values"

I've been so impressed with Bellingham Primary School since my daughter joined. The kindness, courage, respect, and excellence values really shine through in the way the teachers and staff treat the children. She's made great friends and loves the outdoor play areas. I've also been impressed with the care they've taken to include us in her learning, especially with the regular parent updates.

"Generally happy but some improvements needed"

We moved away from the area before our child completed their time at Bellingham Primary School, but while they were there, we were generally happy with the education and care they received. However, there were a few issues with communication and some aspects of the curriculum that we felt could be improved upon. Overall, though, a solid choice for a rural area.

"A great community feel"

Moving from the city to Bellingham, I was worried about finding a school that would be a good fit for our family. Bellingham Primary School has exceeded our expectations. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the facilities are great - the outdoor classroom is a particular highlight. My son has thrived here and made some wonderful friends.
