"Some positives and negatives"

We've generally been happy with Shobdon Primary, but there have been a few issues with communication and organisation. However, the teachers are all lovely and our child loves attending school. The facilities are also great and we appreciate the emphasis on values like kindness and respect.

"A great foundation for future success"

We moved to the area a few years ago and our child attended Shobdon Primary for a couple of years before moving on to secondary school. The school did a fantastic job of preparing them for the next stage and we were thrilled with the progress they made. We have no hesitation in recommending Shobdon Primary to anyone.
