"Excellent school with kind and dedicated staff"

We've been incredibly happy with Liskeard School. The teachers are always approachable and supportive, and the facilities are impressive. My child loves the annual Summer Concert and the 12 Days of Christmas rewards. We feel lucky to be part of such a caring community!

"A great school with a strong sense of values"

We were initially hesitant about the size of the school, but it's actually been a blessing in disguise. The kids are so diverse and friendly, and the kindness, courage, and resilience values really shine through in their behaviour and work. I'm impressed with the progress our child has made and would highly recommend Liskeard to anyone.

"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We had a good experience at Liskeard School, but not without its challenges. The staff were generally friendly, but the workload for the kids was sometimes overwhelming. The music department was a highlight for our child, and we appreciated the opportunities for extracurricular activities. However, we felt that the communication with parents could be better, especially on matters of student welfare.
