"Wonderful community spirit!"

We loved our time at Forefield Junior School, especially the reverse advent calendar and Christmas panto. The school's values of kindness and respect are something we try to instill in our own children. Great job, Forefield! Raj K (Former parent), 2022-06-01

"Some mixed feelings"

My son has had a decent experience at Forefield Junior School, but I've noticed the heating issues this January. The teachers are generally good, but sometimes we feel a bit lost with the curriculum. Overall, we'll see how the next year goes. Samantha G (Parent of Year 4 child), 2023-02-20
