"A wonderful school that prioritises well-being"

We're so glad we chose Elmstead Wood Primary for our child. The OPAL program is fantastic and I love how the school focuses on outdoor learning and physical activity. The teachers are dedicated and the school's values of kindness and respect are clearly lived out in daily life.

"Excellent school with a caring community"

We've been at Elmstead Wood Primary for 5 years now and I've seen our child thrive in an environment that truly values the individual. The facilities are great, especially the outdoor areas which allow the kids to learn through play. The staff are always approachable and supportive, making us feel welcome and included.

"Generally a good experience, but room for improvement"

We were at Elmstead Wood Primary for 3 years and had a mostly positive experience. The staff are generally great and the facilities are nice. However, we did encounter some communication issues and felt that the school could do more to support children with SEN. Overall, it's a good school, but could benefit from some tweaks.
