We've only been at Northbrook for a year, but we've already fallen in love with the place! The staff are so friendly and approachable, and the facilities are great. My child is really enjoying the nursery provision and I'm confident they're getting a great education.

"Happy and Supportive Learning Environment"

I'm so pleased with the way Northbrook Primary Academy supports the children's emotional and academic development. The Forest School program has been a highlight for my child, and the way they're encouraged to try new things has been amazing to see. We feel very welcome and included in the school community.

"Good but Some Areas for Improvement"

We had a good experience at Northbrook, but there were a few areas where we felt the school could improve. The curriculum was engaging and the values were well-embedded, but we felt that some of the communication with parents could be better. Overall, it was a solid education for our children, but we're not sad to have moved on.
