"Give it a miss"

Poor school comprised children from a poor and deprived area. Arrogant teaching staff, poor communications, early years badly managed and there is a lack of extracurricular activities. The sooner I move my child out the better.

"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

My son has been at Richmond Primary for 2 years now, and while we've had some great experiences, there are a few areas where we feel the school could improve. The staff are generally lovely, but sometimes communication with us as parents can be a bit patchy. We also feel that the school sometimes prioritizes the needs of more able children over those who need extra support. That being said, we do appreciate the emphasis on Computing and the Digital Leaders program, and our son loves attending the school.

"A wonderful school with excellent staff"

We've only been at Richmond Primary for a year, but it's been an absolute pleasure. The staff are kind, supportive and genuinely care about each child's individual needs. My daughter loves the extra-curricular activities, especially the Dragon Club, and the facilities are fantastic. We feel so lucky to be a part of this community!

"A great experience for our children"

Our kids attended Richmond Primary for 3 years and had a fantastic time. The values of the school really shone through, and we appreciated the emphasis on Respect and Nurture. The staff were always approachable and responsive, and we loved the way they encouraged our children to try new things. We're grateful for the experience and would highly recommend the school.
