"Mixed Experience"

We're relatively new to Lyminster Primary School and while we've had some great moments, we're still getting used to the small class sizes and the lack of extracurricular activities. The teachers seem lovely and the values they're teaching are wonderful, but we're hoping to see more progression in the coming months.

"Wonderful School!"

We've had a fantastic experience at Lyminster Primary School. Our child has thrived in their classes and we're so proud of the person they're becoming. The school's focus on 'Find Your Roar' and the Core Values is inspiring and we love how they're encouraged to be their best selves.

"Lovely Community!"

We moved away from Littlehampton but still keep in touch with the wonderful community at Lyminster Primary School. The teachers were supportive and the facilities were always well-maintained. Our child loved the times-table rockstars program and we appreciated the regular updates from the school.
