"Outstanding School with Amazing Staff"

I'm so grateful to have my daughter at Chestnuts Primary. The school's values of kindness and empathy really shine through in the way the teachers and staff interact with the children. My daughter loves her after-school club and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. Can't recommend enough!

"Wonderful School Community"

We've been really impressed with the sense of community at Chestnuts Primary. The school's blog is a great way to keep up with what's happening and we love attending the art gallery evenings. My son has thrived in his classes and the teachers are always available to answer questions.

"Mixed Feelings about the School"

I was initially impressed with Chestnuts Primary, but some of the parents' evenings have been a bit rushed and I've had to ask for more information about my child's progress. That being said, the school's SEN team has been really helpful with my child's specific needs and the facilities are generally well-maintained. Hoping things will improve over time.

"Fantastic School with Great Results"

My son graduated from Chestnuts Primary a few years ago and I'm still blown away by the high standard of education he received. The school's results speak for themselves and I think the headteacher's emphasis on individualized learning really paid off for him. We're so grateful for the foundation he got here.
