"Some room for improvement"

We've been at Parkwood Primary for about a year now, and while we're generally happy with the school, there are a few areas that could be improved. The staff are mostly lovely, but sometimes communication can be a bit patchy. However, the school's focus on mental health and wellbeing is really impressive, and we've seen a big difference in our child's confidence already.

"Loving the new facilities!"

We've been at Parkwood Primary for three years now, and I have to say the new facilities are amazing! The playground is so much fun for the kids, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. We especially love the focus on being 'learners for life' - it's so refreshing to see a school that truly cares about the children's well-being.

"Excellent school experience"

We moved to a different area last year, but I still wanted to leave a review for Parkwood Primary. Our child had an amazing time there, and the staff were always so supportive and encouraging. The school's values really shone through, and we're so grateful for the education they received.
