"Wonderful school - friendly staff and great facilities!"

I'm so impressed with Adlington Primary School. My child has been here for a year now and the staff are always so welcoming and helpful. The facilities are excellent too, especially the playground and outdoor learning areas. They always keep us informed about what's happening in the school and the values of Inspire, Believe, Succeed are great to hear about.

"Some mixed feelings"

I have mixed feelings about Adlington Primary School. My child attended here a few years ago and while they had some great teachers, we also had a few issues with the attendance and punctuality. However, the school has clearly worked hard to improve since then, as they were recently ranked in the top 10% of schools for attendance. Overall, it's a good school, but could be even better with some tweaks.
