- **5/5** — Love this school!: We've been at Richardson Endowed Primary for a year now and I'm so impressed with the facilities, the teachers and the values they're teaching the children. My child is excited to go to school every day and is thriving in the caring and supportive environment. We feel like we're part of a lovely community here. *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — 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. *(Jan 2023)*

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. *(May 2022)*
