"Some Good, Some Bad"

We've had a mixed experience with Franche Primary School. Our child loves the forest school and the swimming pool, but we've had some issues with communication from the school. We feel like they could do more to support parents and involve us in decision-making. That being said, the teachers are generally lovely and our child is happy and learning.

"Wonderful Start to School Life!"

We've been so impressed with Franche Primary School since our child started in Reception. The facilities are amazing, and the staff are always so welcoming and supportive. We particularly love the wraparound care and breakfast club - it's made a huge difference to our lives! We feel so lucky to be part of the Franche community.

"Outstanding Education"

We were thrilled with our child's progress at Franche Primary School, particularly in reading and maths. The school's values of kindness, respect, and responsibility really shine through in the way the teachers and staff interact with the children. We were sad to leave, but our child is now thriving in their new school.
