"Amazing School, Friendly Staff!"

My daughter has been at Upwood Primary for the past four years and I couldn't be happier with the progress she's made. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are fantastic. We love the school's values of kindness, resilience and curiosity - it's great to see the children living and breathing these every day.

"Wonderful Community Spirit"

My son has only been at Upwood Primary for a year, but I've already noticed the incredible sense of community spirit here. The parents, teachers and children all seem to really care about one another, and it's lovely to see. The school's facilities are great too - the playground is perfect for burning off energy!

"Excellent Education, Lovely People"

We moved out of Upwood a few years ago, but my son still talks fondly of his time at the school. The education he received was first-class, and the staff were always so supportive. We especially loved the emphasis on kindness, resilience and curiosity - it really helped him grow into a confident, happy child.

"Mixed Feelings"

My son is still relatively new to Upwood Primary, so I'm still getting to know the school. The staff seem lovely, but I'm not entirely convinced about the teaching methods for his age group. The facilities are nice, but I've heard mixed reviews about the school's approach to behaviour management.
