"Excellent support for children with SEND"

We've been really impressed with the support that Ivy Bank Primary has given our child, who has special educational needs. The SENCO, Mrs Barber, has been fantastic and has worked closely with us to develop a tailored plan for our child's education. The school's inclusive values and ethos are truly impressive.

"Good foundation for our child's education"

We had our child at Ivy Bank Primary for two years and were generally happy with the experience. The teachers were knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the school's values and ethos aligned with our own. However, we did feel that there could have been more opportunities for parental involvement.
