"Some Good, Some Room for Improvement"

We've had a mixed experience with Dobwalls so far. The staff are generally friendly and the facilities are good, but we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on. Our son enjoys the after-school clubs though, and the SMART values are great.

"A Great School Experience"

Our daughter was at Dobwalls from Reception to Year 6 and we were really impressed with the school throughout. The teachers were always supportive and the opportunities for the children to learn and grow were wonderful. We feel our daughter benefited greatly from her time here.
