We're really happy with Carlton Colville Primary School. The teachers are supportive and the facilities are wonderful, including the new school meals provider, LunchtimeCo. Our child feels safe and happy there, which is all that matters to us as parents.

"Good School with Some Rooms for Improvement"

My children attended Carlton Colville Primary School and had a generally good experience. The school's inclusive values and community spirit are really positive, and the staff are caring and dedicated. However, I felt that the school could improve some of its communication with parents and provide more opportunities for parental involvement.
