"Good school with some great initiatives"

We've been at Richardson Endowed Primary for a few months now and while we're happy with the school overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. The teachers are friendly and the curriculum seems well-structured, but we've experienced some issues with communication and the school's online portal could be more user-friendly. Still, we're glad we made the decision to send our child here.

"Excellent school with a great sense of community"

We moved away from Smalley but I wanted to leave a review for Richardson Endowed Primary because we were so impressed during our time there. The school's values of family, integrity, teamwork and success really resonated with us and my child loved the Embark Award programme. We also appreciated the regular updates from the teachers and the opportunities for parents to get involved.
