We've been really impressed with Elmsett School so far. The staff are all very friendly and our child loves learning in the classroom. We're also excited about the RE enrichment days and the opportunities for sports and clubs. The school's values and ethos align with our own, which is great to see.

"A good school, but could improve communication"

We moved away from the area before our child finished at Elmsett School, but we have fond memories of their time there. The teachers were all knowledgeable and supportive, and our child made some great friends. However, we sometimes felt that communication between the school and parents could be improved. Overall, it's a good school that could benefit from a bit more transparency.
