"Mixed Feelings About Nightingale"

I've been pleased with the academic progress my son has made at Nightingale Primary School, but I've had some concerns about the communication between teachers and parents. I'd like to see more regular updates on his work and progress. The facilities are nice, but I've found the school tours and admissions process a bit disorganized.

"Nightingale Provided a Great Foundation"

My daughter attended Nightingale Primary School from Reception to Year 2, and I'm grateful for the solid foundation she received. The school's curriculum was engaging, and the staff encouraged her curiosity and love for learning. While I did find the admissions process a bit confusing, overall I'm pleased with the education and experiences she had.
