"Outstanding education and facilities!"

I'm so impressed with the facilities and the teachers at Brookside Primary. My child loves attending Forest Schools and learning in the woodlands. The school's values of independence, confidence, and creativity really shine through in their approach to education.

"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

We've been really pleased with the progress our child has made at Brookside Primary, particularly in their literacy and numeracy skills. However, we've experienced some inconsistency in the teaching and lack of communication from the school. Overall, it's a good school, but there's room for improvement.

"Still a great school!"

My child has moved on to secondary school, but I still regularly hear great things about Brookside Primary. The school's commitment to environmental learning and Forest Schools is really unique and valuable. I'm grateful for the education they received here.
