"Love the Science Experiments!"

My son is in Year 1 and I've been really impressed with the science experiments they've been doing in class. The teachers seem to have a great rapport with the children and are always willing to talk to us about how our child is getting on.

"Best School Ever!"

We've been at Bannockburn for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with the school. The staff are lovely, the facilities are great and the values they're teaching the children are exactly what we want. My son has come on so much since starting here.

"Good School, Could Be Better"

My daughter has been at Bannockburn for a few years now and overall we're happy with the school. The teachers are good and the wrap-around care is convenient. However, I feel like the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on.

"Exceptional Education"

My son attended Bannockburn from Reception to Year 2 and we were absolutely delighted with the education he received. The school's emphasis on values and the wider curriculum was fantastic and really helped him develop into a confident young person.
