"Excellent Education and Community"

We were part of the Lift Cottingley family for three years and had an incredible experience. The school's focus on oracy, confidence, and communication was outstanding, and our child excelled in their studies. The teachers were supportive and passionate, and the facilities were top-notch. We will always look back on our time at Lift Cottingley with fond memories.

"Mixed Emotions About Our Experience"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Lift Cottingley. On the one hand, the school's commitment to inclusion and wellbeing is truly commendable, and our child has benefited from the breakfast club and after-school clubs. However, we've experienced some communication issues with the teachers and a few logistical challenges with the school's policies. We're hopeful that these issues will be addressed soon.
